BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!!!!


U.S. OUT OF IRAQ!!!




Join hundreds of groups, and thousands who oppose the

war in a national PROTEST IN WASHINGTON, D.C.



***JANUARY 27, 2007***



Transportation is being organized from the University of Illinois at 
Urbana-Champaign by the Campus Anti-War Network and the 
International Socialist Organization.  
Now, more than ever it is 
crucial to demand the U.S. get out of Iraq.



EVEN after millions clearly showed their opposition to

the war by voting out the Republicans in November, the

White House and Congressional leaders (of both

parties) are talking about sending as many as 40,000

more troops to Iraq! We need to demonstrate to show

that we want the war to END NOW!!!


Please RSVP and reserve your spot in our transportation caravan.  
We are working towards securing a bus.

Why we stand for immediate withdrawal of all U.S.

troops from Iraq



THE U.S. occupation of Iraq has not liberated the

Iraqi people, but has made life worse for most Iraqis.



Tens of thousands of U.S. service people have been

killed or maimed, and hundreds of thousands of

innocent Iraqis have lost their lives as a result of

the U.S. invasion in 2003, the ongoing occupation, and

the violence unleashed by them.



Iraq's infrastructure has been destroyed, and U.S.

plans for reconstruction abandoned. There is less

electricity, less clean drinking water, and more

unemployment today than before the U.S. invasion.



All of the justifications initially provided by the

U.S. for waging war on Iraq have been exposed as lies;

the real reasons for the invasion — to control Iraq's

oil reserves and to increase U.S. strategic influence

in the region — now stand revealed.



The Bush administration has insisted again and again

that stability, democracy, and prosperity are around

the next bend in the road. But with each day that the

U.S. stays, the violence and lack of security facing

Iraqis worsen. The U.S. says that it cannot withdraw

its military because Iraq will collapse into civil war

if it does. But the U.S. has deliberately stoked

sectarian divisions in its ongoing attempt to install

a U.S.-friendly regime, thus driving Iraq towards

civil war.



The November elections in the United States sent a

clear message that voters reject the Iraq war, and

opinion polls show that seven in 10 Iraqis want the

U.S. to leave sooner rather than later. Even most U.S.

military and political leaders agree that staying the

course in Iraq is a policy that is bound to fail.



Yet all the various alternative plans for Iraq now

being discussed in Washington, including those

proposed by House and Senate Democrats, aren't about

withdrawing the U.S. military from Iraq. Rather, these

strategies are about continuing the pursuit of U.S.

goals in Iraq and the larger Middle East using

different means.



Even the proposal to redeploy U.S. troops outside of

Iraq, a plan favored by many Democratic Party leaders,

envisions continued U.S. intervention inside Iraq.



With former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger

insisting that a military victory in Iraq is no longer

possible and (Ret.) Lt. Gen. William Odom calling for

"complete withdrawal" of all U.S. troops, the antiwar

movement should demand no less than the immediate

withdrawal of the U.S. military — as well as

reparations to the Iraqi people, so they can rebuild

their own society and genuinely determine their own

future.



We call on the U.S. to get out of Iraq — not in six

months, not in a year, but now.
