		The failure of military commanders to warn all servicemen and women about DU before Operation Desert Storm reflects a serious lack of concern for the long term health and well being of those who were sent to fight in the Persian Gulf.
		The failure of military commanders to inform all servicemen and women about the dangers of depleted uranium ammunition brings to mind a negligence and lack of concern tragically consistent Pentagon policies on exposing military personnel to atomic testing and fallout, mustard gas and lewisite testing, and toxic herbicides sprayed in Vietnam.

		The only issue we need point out in the context of Pakistan is that today except for President Musharraf and his close supporters in the Corp Command of the Pakistani Military, not many in Pakistan want to see their country as an ally of the US in the War on Terror.
		But going by the increasing control that the American Military is acquiring over Pakistani Airfields, the American strategy seems to be preparing itself for this eventuality.
		In doing this they have tried to regain the military foothold which the Wets (Britain and France) lost when they vacated their mandates in Jordan and Syria after World War 2.

	Censorship in the Gulf
		The military won extremely positive coverage during the war at the price of a dissatisfied press corps and lingering doubts about whether what the press saw was the whole story.
		This was partly due to the relative expense of sending a correspondent out from the States to cover the war, and partly due to a military decision to limit the logisitical burden of numerous media representatives.
		In response to this reaction, the military began to consider a national emergency pool of reporters who could be activated quickly for secret or fast-breaking military operations.

		Included in the study were children of military and non-military personnel who were seen over a seven-year period (January 1992 to 1998).
		Except for a very few doubtful cases, all the children seen at the ER were admitted to the ward for care or observation due to lack of space in the ER.
		This may be essentially due to the excellent infrastructure and housing facilities in the Military City, which makes the use of kerosene heaters and burners unnecessary.

		King Khalid Military City near the Iraqi border was built almost solely with American expertise, and American companies were also involved in the development of the industrial cities of Jubail and Yanbu, which rest on the shipping routes of the Persian Gulf and Red Sea, respectively.
		Although this military would be substantial enough to protect U.S. interests in dire cases, it is unreasonable to assume it would be able to continuously maintain the regional balance of power.
		Its manpower and military might approach that of the larger Arab states, and its financial resources would be totally unmatched.

		Because military commanders failed to warn their soldiers about the use and dangers of depleted uranium penetrators, thousands of troops climbed on and entered contaminated vehicles or breathed smoke from fires involving DU rounds.
		Military officials tried to reassure the Japanese that the rounds are only as radioactive as "old color TV sets." But because spent DU penetrators (DU metal without shielding) have a radioactivity of 200mrem/hour, they deliver a radiation dose equivalent to nearly 30 chest x-rays in one hour.
