If we invaded for WMD's, then why are we using depleted uranium, and white phosphorous?

these are not the evil WMD's. the uranium is used mostly as armour on tanks. that has saved many lives. or would we rather that our troops go out on the battle feild with no armour on the tanks. they also use it as the projectile on tank rounds. they do not expode but penatrate just the same as a bullet. more or less an oversized bullet.

white phosporous and red dont forget that one, is used mainly as illumition rounds. in other words to light up the battlefeild at night. they are also used in incinerary gernades wich are used to destroy equipment. the US has not used phosporous on people since vietnam. we do not have the rounds for that in our arsenal.

either way they are not WMD's the tank round kills at max 4 people the phosphoruos if used as anti-personal in artillary may kill 15-20. not the hundreds like nuclear bio or chemical weopons. the only WMD that we have in our arsenal is nuclear weopons. uforntunatly we have more than anyone else in that catagory

Does America still use agent orange in warfare?

I'm guessing NOT owing to the environmental catastrophe they caused in Vietnam last time they used it...

I hate to sound smug in light of the recent atrocities in Iraq. There is NO WAY the war hawks deserve any credit for anything they have done in Iraq. They've done fuck all to improve things in the middle east.
