Remember that a number of missiles delivered used laser final guidance... I don't think any cruise missile has been equipped with depleted uranium unless in sub-munitions. A cruise missile is not an impact weapon.
As a reminder which was not made clear in the article, although some precision weapons were used, they were only used on hardened and very high-value targets. Most of the ordinance delivered was dropped from 30'000 feet, with a limited amount being delivered in the form of A2G technology from fixed wing aircraft, primarily the Harriers and Warthogs (which typically were deployed against targets of opportunity).
