BACK INTO THE STREETS!! : WHERE ARE THE ANTI-WAR PROTESTS!!?

J Anderson | 21.07.2003 08:28 | Anti-militarism | Social Struggles | Liverpool | London

More and more attacks on U.S. soldiers confirm that we are headed into a long guerilla war. Wives, mothers, girlfriends, children and others are losing their loved ones. WHERE ARE THE ANTI-WAR PROTESTORS!!?

Every day more and more information comes to light about the LIES and MANIPULATIONS that Blair, Bush, Condaleezza, Powell, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz & Co. used to justify the U.S. invasion of Iraq and the subsequent—NOW INDEFINITE—military occupation and oppression of the Iraqi people.

Every day more and more attacks on U.K. and U.S. soldiers confirm that we are headed into a long guerilla war. Wives, mothers, girlfriends, children and others are losing their loved ones. The government and media are not even releasing the figures on the numbers of maimed and seriously wounded soldiers, quietly evacuated from the scene. The top British weapons expert has been found dead—permanently resigned—or ‘terminated with extreme prejudice’—in England!

U.S. Soldiers are calling for the resignation of the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld!! And this is being shown on the mainstream corporate evening news programs! A MAINSTREAM Democrat presidential candidate says that there are grounds to impeach Bush if he led America to war under false pretenses.

And yet every day goes by WITHOUT anti-war, end the occupation, bring home the troops, impeach the President, whatever, demonstrations in the streets DEMANDING AND END TO THIS OIL-&-CORPORATE-INTEREST-SPONSORED WAR ADVENTURE!!

WHERE IS EVERYONE!!!???

HAVE WE ANTI-WAR PROTESTERS JUST ROLLED OVER???

THIS IS THE REAL WAR!! THAT OTHER STUFF WAS JUST THE PREGAME FIREWORKS: CALLED “SHOCK AND AWE”!!

ANTI-WAR DEMONSTRATORS NEED TO TAKE ACTION NOW!!

WE NEED TO GET BACK INTO THE STREETS NOW!!

BECAUSE THE WAR IN THE STREETS OF IRAQ IS GOING TO AFFECT US ALL!!

We can’t wait for the major organizers. Where is International A.N.S.W.E.R.? We need to put a pin in their butts! (I say appreciatively and respectfully.) We can’t wait for the big wheel organizers to turn. We need Code Pink! We need even just a group of you and your friends and your kindred spirits to start with. Let’s call for and begin with 5:00PM commuter demonstrations – in each of our communities –at major commuter stations.

BUSH SAID, “BRING IT ON!”,…? LET’S DO IT!!!
