I know you've a point to make, and an axe to grind, but its there any need to post some of those pictures? No matter how many times I see miscarried babies, it still makes me queasy.
I'm guessing that your blaming depleted uranium for these miscarriages? Well I've seen plenty like those pictures here in the UK, well away from DU. I don't doubt that theres a health risk from DU, but only come into spent ammunition. The area off effect from used DU is pretty small, and I can't imagine many pregnant women clambering over burnt out tanks.
Without any real proof, other than emotive photo's, you could in fact be clouding other causes. 1 in 7 UK pregnancies end in miscarriage, and thats well away from any DU. Given the tension in Iraq, there would be an expected increase in miscarriages anyway. It could even be down to a shortage of food, or medical supplies.
