“When you’re dealing with the president of the United States and the secretary of commerce, you’re beyond the
law and beyond logic. These people create the rules. We bet … on free market forces. There was a lot of money
involved here – and a lot of companies that could do the job. We believed that potential competitors in both
the registry and registrar services were going to balance out Network Solutions’ political power. But SAIC’s
influence in the federal government was greater than the force of the free enterprise system, stronger than
those competitors that were willing and able to provide better services at far lower cost than Network
Solutions. Who would have thought it? Not I – not at the time, anyway.”
In addition to knowing that 548 soldiers have been killed, 9500+ wounded — many missing arms, legs and eyes —
and almost 1000 having been treated for psychiatric problems, military personnel will have to worry about the
residual effects of depleted uranium and other chemical poisons they have come into contact with. Medical
professionals and researchers as yet have no prognosis of what the future holds for our returning troops, but
contact with much lower doses and far less exposure time to DU during Gulf NIKE SHOX I has already been blamed
for many serious and persistant medical complaints. In what appears to be an effort not to sound alarmist,
there is almost a ho-hum attitude in today’s Stars & Stripes’ article which leaves you with the impression
that if all the Army forms are correctly filled out by returning troops, there will be nothing to worry about.
These statements by Army Col. Allen Kraft, director of force health protection for Europe Regional Medical
Command and MBT Kisumu Sandals. Army Europe, furthers the feel-good euphoria. You will note that although data
collection is barely in its infancy stage, he already “knows” that cigarette smoking is more dangerous than
DU:
