Emuva ngo-Okthoba, I kubika ukuthi, “Uhlobo lwendiza, i-A-10, ethunyelwe kule nyanga eMpumalanga Ephakathi yi-US Air National Guard's 122nd Fighter Wing, ibhekene nokungcoliswa kwe-Uranium (DU) ngaphezulu kwe-Depleted Uranium (DU) kunanoma iyiphi enye inkundla, ngokusho kwe-International Coalition. ukuze Vimbela Izikhali Ze-Uranium (ICBUW). . . . Umkhulumeli wePentagon uMark Wright wangitshela, 'Akukho okuvinjelwa ukusetshenziswa kwemijikelezo ye-Uranium Ephelile, futhi [amasosha ase-US] ayayisebenzisa. Ukusetshenziswa kwe-DU ekubhobozeni izikhali kuvumela amathangi ezitha ukuba abhujiswe kalula.'”
Kuleli sonto ngishiye umlayezo we-imeyili kanye nomyalezo wefoni kaMark Wright ePentagon. Nakhu engikuthumelele i-imeyili, ngemva kokubonisana no-Wim Zwijnenburg we I-PaxForPeace.nl:
"Imibiko yakamuva ye-CENTCOM iphawule ukuthi i-11% yezindiza zase-US zihanjiswe ngama-A-10s, nokuthi uhla olubanzi lokuhlaselwa kwamathangi nezimoto ezihlomile zenzeke. Ungakwazi yini ukuqinisekisa ukuthi amabhomu e-PGU-14 30mm ane-uranium ephelile kuma-A-10s (kanye nanoma yiziphi ezinye izikhali ze-DU) azizange zisetshenziswe phakathi nalokhu kuhlasela. Futhi uma kungenjalo, kungani kungenjalo? Ngiyabonga!”
Ngithumele leyo imeyili ngoJanuwari 28 futhi ngashiya umyalezo wezwi ngoJanuwari 30.
Ungacabanga ukuthi kuzoba nezintatheli eziningi ezifonayo ngombuzo ofanayo futhi zibike impendulo. Kepha-ke ama-Iraqi kuphela, ngicabanga.
