"Mr President, exactly this time last week I was in Basra, in the south of Iraq, with my fellow colleagues on the Parliamentary delegation. In Basra we were shown the most harrowing images of children who were born with the most terrible birth malformities as a result of the radiation from the last Gulf War, when allied forces used depleted uranium warheads.
I wish Tony Blair and George Bush had been at that hospital. If they had, perhaps they would stop saying that this illegal and immoral war they are about to unleash on Iraq is somehow in the interests of the Iraqi people. The people of Iraq are still paying the price of the last war in cancers, leukaemias and deaths. I wish Commissioner Byrne had been at that hospital too. The facts are there. If the methodologies cited by him cannot explain them, then I would suggest that his methodologies are wrong. Indeed, increasing numbers of scientists are demonstrating that the impact of low-level radiation has been consistently underestimated. There are weaknesses in those methodologies. They are not right methodologies. By denying that, we do the people of Iraq a double disservice and the deaths go on."@en1
