PORTLANDERS SAY "NO MORE US BOMBS ON IRAQ"
US Policy Stokes Flames of War from Libya and Israel/Palestine to
Pakistan and Ukraine
Saturday, July 26, 2014, 12:00 Noon, Terry Schrunk Plaza SW 3rd & Madison
At noon on Saturday, July 26, Portland area groups will gather
at Terry Schrunk Plaza, SW 3rd and Madison, across from Portland's
Federal Building, to raise the cry "No More US Bombs on Iraq."
As of July 9, President Obama had sent at least 800 US troops,
ostensibly "advisors," to Iraq.[1] Although it is claimed they
will not engage in combat, there has already been talk of using
drones, cruise missiles, and Apache attack helicopters piloted by some
of these "advisors."[2] The potential for the situation to engulf
a much broader conflict is heightened by the fact that Syria[3],
Iran[4], and Russia[5] already have actively engaged
militarily in Iraq on the same side the US wishes to support, even
though the US' position on those countries' stance in next door
Syria's civil war is completely opposite.
