skeptical — (archived)

Firstly, if you make a claim, it is your responsibility to provide some supporting evidence. The burden of proof lies on you, since you are the one making the claim. Telling skeptics to do your homework for you by searching the net themselves before chiding them for being lazy is ludicrous and laughable.

Now, let us revisit your original quote:

"according to the UN, the number killed by DU contamination are put at about 1,000,000 (half being children)"

I have downloaded the PDF you cite and nowhere is it mentioned that the UN has found 1,000,000 deaths in Iraq were caused by depleted uranium. This claim is in fact an excerpt from a speech by the Iraqi Minister of Education, not the conclusion of a peer-reviewed published medical study by UNICEF or any other UN body. In view of the mass graves of babies and children's prisons recently discovered and uncovered after Iraq's liberation, your bias is very apparent and dispicable.
