Oppose Escalation in Iraq!
Target: United States CongressSponsored by: Council for a Livable World
Tell Congress to Oppose Troop Escalation In Iraq
The occupation of Iraq has already resulted in the death of more than 3,000 Americans. More than 22,000 soldiers have been wounded. And no one can accurately predict the number of Iraqi casualties.
The occupation of Iraq has already resulted in the death of more than 3,000 Americans. More than 22,000 soldiers have been wounded. And no one can accurately predict the number of Iraqi casualties.
While promising a new strategy for Iraq, President Bush and his neo-conservative advisors are expected to make a bad situation worse by pouring more troops into Iraq.
We have spent nearly $400 billion on the war in. Deadly attacks against American and Iraqi security forces continue on a daily basis and the occupation by American troops provides insurgents with a constant stream of new recruits. More troops are not the answer.
It is time to admit a tragic mistake and bring American soldiers home. Send a message to your member of Congress and urge them to vigorously oppose any military escalation in Iraq!

Do not violate the will of the people as expressed in the last election. If the President insists on travelling on this dark path of a troop increase do not fund his troop escalation initiative.

How many more of our kids have to die in order to appease this president? How many more Iraqi lives must be lost before the madness of this White House is satisfied? We voted for change, not a new slogan for invading a country that meant us no harm.

The people that got us into Iraq made a terrible error, and they are not competent to make a decision now as to what we should do.

More violence against Iraq will not be an accomplishment. It is already much worse than Vietnam - even our own soldiers say we should come home. Let's just let the folks who WANT to go, go. Like all of this administration, so we can start over with civil sevants who represent The People. Money for jobs, healthcare, and education would be investing in America's future, not more of the same failure/ war profiteering in the Middle East. We need a new direction.

Sounds just like the strategy used towards the end of Vietnam. All we need is more troops (dead and wounded). Bring them home now and for heavens sake, don't send more.

Hindsight is 20/20 as we all know, so I won't bother with re-hashing the lies that got us in there in the first place, but the lies to keep us there is a whole new ballgame. We will not change the Iraqi mindset, and it isn't our place to do so, and most of us know the whole reason for our being there is to grab and control their resources, at the expense of lives. Since when did we forget mutual trade? It's time for Washington to get up off their collective greedy butts and take better care of the resources we're wasting so lavishly here at home, and bring our people back home. You've made enough money already off of death.

We shouldn't be there in the first place so why add fuel to the fire? Another 5 to 7 more troops were killed over the weekend and it has to friggin' end!
