RSN: US Cluster Bombs Kill Children for Decades in Laos, and Now Yemen


The Incompetent Christine Todd Whitman remains the Typical Ignorant Republican who held an office for which she was grossly unqualified! 
Never let science or FACTS inform your decision. 

Even the search dogs used in the rubble to locate body parts, exposed to the smoldering piles of hazardous chemicals,  died prematurely. 

Apologies for health risks to which people were unnecessarily exposed don't work at this late date. 

Pity she couldn't be sued!
