The US import sand from Kuwait which they themselves contaminated with depleted uranium in the 1991 war: Uranium and Led: Kuwaiti’s Sand Heads for Idaho
Over the past two weeks, for the first time, news was shared in Kuwait that sand that has been contaminated since the 1991 U.S. Coalition War in Kuwait has now been shipped to U.S. soil and is currently heading to Idaho.
The sand’s contamination resulted from U.S. military vehicles and munitions combining in a combustive accident at the end of that war.
Isn’t it ironic? You dump your nuclear waste onto countries as far away as possible – and 17 years later, they sell it back to you! Importing sand with DU in it… the US could as well import bricks from broken houses in Chernobyl.
“Fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here…” – yeah right…
