The Iraq Debacle
As corporate media heralds the end of combat forces in Iraq, Fort Hood is deploying 3,000 troops to Iraq from the 3rd Armored Calvary Regiment. Many of them have been deemed “undeployable” due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and other conditions resulting from previous deployments during this decade of warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan. Several upcoming events are aimed at peeling back the mass deception surrounding “the end of combat operations.”
5:00 pm, Sunday, August 29th, 1700 South First, Austin, Texas. Iraqi-
American doctor, Dahlia Wasfi will speak in Austin about the U.S. Policy in Iraq: A Humanitarian Catastrophe. This event is co-sponsored by Texas Labor Against the War and CodePink Austin and will take place at the Texas State Employees Union meeting hall. (TSEU is on S. 1st St. near Annie, across from Freddie’s Restaurant.)
10:00 am, Monday, August 30th, Under the Hood, 17 S. College, Killeen, Texas. A press conference will highlight the Iraq debacle – its impact on US. soldiers, Iraqis, and funding to meet domestic needs. Dahlia Wasfi, Iraqi-American doctor
and Rep. Lon Burnam from Fort Worth, Texas will join representatives from many groups including Iraq Veterans Against the War, Veterans for Peace, CodePink and Texas Labor Against the War.
