Title:: Protest Obama Speech at West Point

Description

President Obama is giving the commencement speech at West Point. George Bush spoke there yearly as the Iraq War escalated, and we protested then.

Kandahar is a city of 500,000 ringed by refugee camps from the onslaught in Marjah. Imagine a U.S. city like Denver, Oklahoma City, or Atlanta as a battleground. Imagine the civilian deaths, the refugees...

Now Obama is escalating the war in Afghanistan, with 25,000 more troops going this summer and the largest offensive of the war expected to start next month in Kandahar. Military leaders say it will be bloody with high casualties on both sides. Obama will speak to the graduating officers who are going off to lead an immoral, illegitimate, and unjust war. But who will speak against it right there on the scene? We will!
