It has not been determined conclusively that DU is a danger to the people. Depending on who you listen to and how they conduct their experiments/studies, DU can be safe or unsafe. The jury is still out. No one is disputing the harm and damage to the Gulf.

I've seen you trot out this testimony a few times in your insistance that the US companies running the rig are whiter than white, but what you don't acknowledge is the BP rep (unnamed in your links but named elsewhere) was an American too...
In fact, it would appear nearly all the people directly involved with this disaster are in American citizens, but of course it is the American way to blame the outsider and stir up fear so as to deflect the blame.
The anti-UK feeling on ATS is palpable and unfounded. I even saw a poster on another Oil thread calling from British troops to replace clean up workers on the beaches, the cheek!
And yet you claim there is no Anti-UK feeling here.. Quite the contrary from what I have read.
Its funny funny how when the USA starts a war, Then bang on Britians doorstep at 3am in the morning crying there eyes out begging for help.

Secondly, I am implying that the British Assistance in Iraq was for more a show of Legitimacy, a mere selling point, and of little actual practical use on the ground.

Not because of the Armys fault,but rather because it was not equipped or prepared for such a war, not to mention the #ty budget and unbelievably low pay for the troops themselves.
America has desimated country after country in the last Hundred years and now you have a tiny bit of what it feels like to see your country in trouble.
now after the anti british crap i've heard coming from the states after our Army have spilled blood for country after the 911 attacks and you have the cheek to get at us for a mistake that 99% was caused by an American.
British soldiers dieing for what, so you can sit on your 30 stone fat ass and spouting your moronic ignorant trash.
Lets see what happens on the picth the next time we play you, good luck buddy and stop your anti British talk, we might not be there the next time you get bullied.

Instead of the U.S. invading for oil, the oil is invading the U.S.
Have a nice day.
