 | | The Iraq War Comes Home Iraq Veterans Against the WarIVAW) 03:08(We are IVAW)Pointing imaginary guns and roughing up "Iraqi civilians", a group of antiwar veterans brought the realities of the Iraq debacle to Manhattan, in a Memorial Day protest that briefly more...turned the streets of the city into a combat zone. In "Operation First Casualty," a half-dozen members of Iraq Veterans Against the War employed the tactics of street theater to stage mini-dramas in Times Square, Union Square and the World Trade Center site, simulating sniper fire and staging mock arrests of fellow protesters who portrayed Iraqis. The group plans to take Operation First Casualty to the streets of Chicago June 17. If there ever was a group whose voices deserve to be heard more in this country it's the IVAW. less Tags: iraq iraq war veterans descent operation first casualty protest antiwar veterans combat zone simulation Category: News Views: 927 Comments: 26 Added: Jun 8, 07 By: genefire  | |  |  | | US Army Veteran Calls for Troops Out of Iraq Part 2 08:07US Army Veteran Calls for Troops Out of Iraq. Part 2 8th December 2004, Manchester, UK. Supporters of anti-Iraq war groups from the US, Britain and Iraq hold a rally against the Iraq war at the Unitarian more...Chapel, Cross Street, Manchester city centre.
The public meeting is entitled: "End the occupation of Iraq - Bring all the troops home". The line up of speakers is as follows:
Michael Hoffman: Michael took part in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and on his return to Pennsylvania became involved in the anti-war movement. He is co-founder and national coordinator of Iraq Veterans Against the War.
Lou Plummer: Lou served in the US army in the 80?s and is the grandson, son, brother and father of men who have served or are serving the military. He is a leading spokesman for Military Families Speak Out and Bring Them Home Now.
Rae Street: Rae is a well known peace activist based in the North West of England. She has travelled the world as part of her campaigning. She is vice-chair of national Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
Dr Salam Ismael: Salam is general secretary of the Doctors for Iraq Society. He was in Iraq from the start of the war to June of this year. He worked in Fallujah during the first seige in April 2004.
John Rees: John is one of the co-founder members of the Stop the War Coalition. He has spoken at meetings across the country and in the Middle East
The meeting is chaired by Ron Senchak. Ron was in the US navy from 1965-68. He joined the movement against the Vietnam war when he left the navy.
The rally launches the Greater Manchester campaign for the 19th March national demonstration in London, which is part of a global day of action. This day marks the second anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Demonstrations will be taking place in other countries around the world on the same day.
Dr Ismael speaks movingly about the slaughter of two of his own doctor colleagues during the recent attack on Fallujah and reports that over 3000 Iraqis have been killed during the attack. He uses a Powerpoint presentation during his speech showing photos of atrocities committed during the attack on Fallujah.
The two US speakers speak of their brave and tireless work in the US opposing the war. Rae Street exposes the hypocrisy of British warmongers--drawing attention to the fact that Britain has its own weapons of mass destruction. Ron Sanchek, a Vietnam war veteran resident in Manchester, chairs the meeting and speaks about the pressing need to build for the London demonstration against the war on 19th March 2005. John Rees talks about how the anti-war movement has succeeded in keeping the war issue at the top of the agenda in the run up to the coming election.
After all that has happened in Iraq over the past year and half, the sight of people from countries that are on opposites sides of an ongoing war sharing the same platform is remarkable and inspiring. All the speakers receive a warm response and there is a determination to continue the struggle to end this insane war.

He now strongly opposes the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. more...New London, CT (PRWEB) May 27, 2007 -- People from all over Connecticut, New England and New York assembled Wednesday, starting at 9:00 am at the main gate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut today to protest the visit of George W. Bush and to demand an immediate end to the war in Iraq.
People came by van and car caravan from Hartford, New Haven, New York City, Willimantic, Mystic, Boston, Cape Cod, New Paltz, NY, Portland, ME, and many other cities and towns.
"The event was noteworthy for the involvement of many veterans, families of soldiers and marines, and active duty military personnel who came to speak out. Speakers include Carlos and Melida Arredondo, whose son Alex was killed in Iraq in 2004; Elliot Adams, President of Veterans for Peace; Ted Goodnight, an Afghanistan War Veteran who served from 2003 to 2004; and Priscilla Lounds, Army veteran and New London activist with the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition," said Bill Hackwell, an organizer with the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition and a Vietnam Veteran.
Students and faculty attended from Connecticut College, University of Connecticut, Central Connecticut State University, Eastern CSU, Western CSU, Southern CSU, Wesleyan University, Northern Virginia Community College, Columbia University, Howard University and elsewhere.
The large turnout of the demonstration was particularly noteworthy given the fact that the demonstration happened at 9:00 am on a weekday. March organizers estimated the number of people who participated in the demonstration to be approximately 1,000. Police and local media gave a similar estimate.
Tahnee Stair, the Coordinator of A.N.S.W.E.R. in Connecticut, said "The Protest Bush Rally at the USCGA was part of a nationwide campaign initiated by the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition called 'Turn up the Heat in 2007.' Anti-war activists and organizers around the country are joining together to guarantee that wherever and whenever Bush, Cheney, other government officials and pro-war members of Congress step out in public they will be met by anti-war protestors." "As happened during the Vietnam war, the people at the grassroots are making it crystal clear that no government official can dare go anywhere in this country without the certain knowledge of being confronted by ant-iwar protesters," said Stair.
The A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition is a national anti-war coalition that has sponsored the major national anti-war marches in Washington DC, as well as West Coast regional marches in Los Angeles and San Francisco and locally-coordinated actions nationwide over the last six years. A.N.S.W.E.R. has hundreds of organizing centers across the country. To learn more visit www.AnswerCoalition.org.
