Description

General David Petraeus, Commander of the US Central Command, will be addressing this event of the World Affairs Council

Join with World Can't Wait and many others to SAY NO TO WAR CRIMINALS AND WAR CRIMES!

The event registration is at 4:45, Petraeus lectures at 5:30 followed by a reception. [Note: The sponsor's website has said "SOLD OUT" since event was first
posted.]

The "War OF Terror" is a universe of war crimes on top of war crimes, crimes against humanity wrapped in lies and covered with blood.  At this action
World Can't Wait will especially highlight Afghanistan where this week the largest military operation there since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion is underway.  The Pentagon's website explains, "This is the first operation to use the troops President Barack Obama ordered to the area after taking office."

Who is David Petraeus?  The commander of U.S. Central Command, in charge of the wars in the Middle East and Central Asia.  The main military architect of the troop "surge." He is responsible for torture.  Under his command, pilotless drones rain down mass murder of civilians from the skies over Afghanistan and Pakistan.  No amount of slick p.r. packaging can render him anything better than a war criminal.  Go here for a War Criminals Watch listing and here for a Petraeus "Wanted" poster (and many other war criminals' posters)
ready to print. 

Come to the protest.  Join World Can't Wait, the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition, Code Pink and others.  Be counted, be part of the people who take responsibility for stopping the crimes of their government.  The world can't wait.

In the case of this expanding escalating war in Afghanistan, the mass media is
almost universally a huge blanket of lies and ignorance, so that most Americans
simply have NO idea of the crimes now being done in our names.  This is not a
situation to be tolerated! 

Read these short articles, and watch this YouTube interview with air raid victim
Najibullah (yes, victims of the U.S. War OF Terror have names, faces, families!).
Then forward them to your entire address book.  Tonight, print out the FACT SHEET to
pass out at work or school tomorrow to invite conversations with people you know
who need to know what you now know.
