Weary of War? Don't Collaborate
By Kathy Kelly
t r u t h o u t | Perspective
Friday 18 April 2008
An April 14 Associated Press article by Anne Flaherty reported that US senators and representatives are finding common ground in asking that Iraqis begin picking up the tab for the cost of war. The lawmakers are troubled that Iraqis might experience windfall surpluses of revenue generated by rising oil prices, while Americans bear the burden of paying for the Iraq war. "In hearings last week," Flaherty writes, "Joseph Lieberman (I-Connecticut) asked Defense Secretary Robert Gates whether Baghdad should start paying some US combat costs, and Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) raised the possibility that an anticipated Iraqi budget surplus this year could be used to help Afghanistan, whose $700 million in annual revenue represents a small fraction of Iraq's $46.8 billion budget." |

Join us to “Roast” Weenies and Marshmallows
(Symbolizing those spineless Senators and Representatives who refuse to use their power to end the war)
Oct. 27, 2007, Noon
Peace and Social Justice Center
13th and Topeka
Take part in the countrywide demonstrations to end the war in Iraq and say “No New War with Iran”
Oct. 27, 2007 is the 5th anniversary of the vote in the U.S. Senate, which gave George Bush authority to go to war in Iraq. The rationale for war was based on lies. A new nationwide survey finds a large and growing majority of Americans is dissatisfied with the position of the United States in the world. Most Americans believe that U.S. policies are increasing the threat of terrorist attack and decreasing goodwill toward the United States. Large majorities of Americans feel that the United States puts too much emphasis on military force and unilateral action. |
