Severe Birth Defects Soar In Post-War Iraq


A new study confirms what many Iraqi doctors have been saying for years – that there is a virtual epidemic of rare congenital birth defects in cities that suffered bombing and artillery and small arms fire in the U.S.-led attacks and occupations of the country.

The hardest hit appear to be Fallujah (2004), a city in central Iraq, and Basra in the south (December 1998, March and April 2003).

Records show that the total number of birth defects observed by medical staff at Al Basrah Maternity Hospital more than doubled between 2003 and 2009. In Fallujah, between 2007 and 2010, more than half the children born there had some form of birth defect, compared to less than two percent in 2000.

Birth defects are quite common in ALL MUSLIM COUNTRIES due to the fact that cousins are encouraged to breed, and the result of consanguinous breeding is a huge surge of birth defects. While it suits the Leftist agenda to blame birth defects on the Us military it is in fact greatly encouraged and ordered by the Koran for Muslim cousins to breed--the offspring are violent and barbaric--surprise. google it if you don't believe.
