pneumoia in Iraq is BUSHCO

result of slipping in anthrax and all those 500 tons of VX. talk about gassing his own people. These people are beyond stupid. But the media will allow them to report the news to their liking. But we all know what this is...

1. Huh?

Neither anthrax or VX cause pneumonia. I'm guessing you had a few drinks tonight?

2. it is bushco planting WMD

didn't anthrax deaths complain of breathing problems. Take head out of sand.

4. Yes, one variety of anthrax can cause...

... pneumoniacal anthrax infection. Don't think that's it, though.

3. What about ...

Depleated Uranium?

[punpirate]

5. DU is more likely...

... since we know it's there in considerable quantity. Breathing in metal dust does cause pneumonia-like symptoms.

Jack Haley, who played the Tin Man in "The Wizard of Oz" was hospitalized a couple of times during shooting with pneumonia because of the way they applied his make-up. They painted his face with gum arabic, then blew aluminum powder in his face--of course, he was breathing in plenty of it, too.

I think we'll eventually find that a fair percentage of these pneumonia cases will test high positive for uranium contamination, too.

7. Actually

that was Buddy Epson. He was hospitalized for weeks and it almost killed him. He was replaced by Jack Haley and they used a metallic cream on him.

But I have a question about DU. When inhaled, do symptoms occur so quickly? I’ve heard that radiation takes time (as in years) to take its toll.
