The point of the first para in your post above is - this was in response to comment along the lines that it was "digusting" that someone would speak to children and dare think about killing an asshole. It was never about Bush's role in the Gulf War. Read the article in full - it is in English. It also covers Bush's role.
The US is definately responsible for the effects of depleted uranium, not only from the Gulf War, but also in Iraq now and several other Caribbean islands, - one where the cancer rates is over 30% and the other which is totally unihabitable.
What has oil wells got to do with anything?? Nothing.
Have you never heard of something labelled "Gulf War Syndrome"?? WTF you think that is?? A minor flu outbreak??
Here's a photo of a child born to a US service family where the father served in the US military and suffered from "Gulf War Syndrome":
The US is responsible for the effects of DP and the levels of DP "were" (now more), 19 times higher in Iraq that is a normal safe level.
They effects have started showing already - the major effects have yet to come. Just know - they will be MAJOR - that was never in doubt.
