But did you know that over 40% of Iraqi newborn kids are born with deformaties, defects or cancer?
Magic 8-ball says "Wrong, check again." While incidences of certain anomalies, especially neural-tube defects, have increased by as much as one order of magnitude, your claim is not factual. It is a lie. In the past 5 years in Fallujah, an especially hard-hit area with regards to depleted uranium munitions and combat activity in general, there has been a sharp rise in neural-tube defects. Most reports put the incidence at more than 10 times the global average. But this translates to less than 4% of births in the greater Fallujah area. Increases of neonatal cancer incident rates in the same area, while not as dramatic as neural-tube defects, are still alarming. Most reports seem to place rates at nearly 9 times greater than the global average. Congenital abnormalities that don't fall under the category of neural-tube defects show less dramatic increases, but still show incident rates that are alarming in comparison to global numbers. All numbers point to statistically significant rises, and all are alarming. Be that as it may, your claim of "40%" is hyperbolic. It is a lie. Don't engage in that practice. It's not good for you.
