Thurs., 1/11, emergency protests against troop escalation in Iraq!
The people want an end to the Iraq war, and Bush expands it
Denounce the U.S. bombing of Somalia!
The ANSWER Coalition is organizing or supporting emergency demonstrations on Thursday, Jan. 11, in cities and towns around the United States. The demonstrations are taking place one day after George Bush makes a nationally televised speech announcing plans to expand the war and occupation of Iraq.
Be sure to print out flyers for the March 17th March on the Pentagon, and distribute them at Thursday's emergency demonstration.
Yesterday, the Bush administration and the Pentagon carried out aerial bombings in Somalia. This is a brazen act of aggression against a sovereign country. Bush and the generals arrogate to themselves the right to carry out unilateral armed attacks anywhere on the globe. The war in Iraq is one front in a global war to assert and maintain U.S. military domination. Congress is remaining silent again in the face of a new act of aggression.
The people of the United States, by an overwhelming majority, want the war in Iraq to come to an end. The people of Iraq want the United States occupation forces to leave their country. As happened in Vietnam, there is a widespread recognition within the summits of the political and military establishment that a military victory in Iraq is impossible. Yet the politicians want to continue the war so as to avoid the perception of defeat for the United States in the strategic, oil-rich region of the Middle East.
Emergency demonstrations on Thursday will demand: U.S. Out of Iraq Now! A troop increase, or what is labeled a "surge" will only cause more death and destruction. Already 655,000 and over 3,000 U.S. soldiers have died as a result of the war. The number of dead and injured is mounting each day.
Come out this Thursday to protest this outrageous escalation of a deadly war based on lies. Bring signs, banners and your March 17th flyers to express your opposition to the Iraq war. The people are the only force that can stop the war and bring the troops home now!
