Krieg nicht nachträglich legitimieren: Friedensinitiativen fordern Veto gegen NATO im Irak
17.09.04
Die Bundesregierung soll im NATO-Rat Widerspruch gegen einen Militäreinsatz im Irak einlegen. Organisationen aus der Friedensbewegung appellierten am Freitag, dem Druck der USA nicht nachzugeben. Eine Tendenzentscheidung in Richtung militärischen Engagements der NATO im Irak sei bereits Ende Juni beim Gipfel des Militärbündnisses in Istanbul gefällt worden. Jetzt bestehe jedoch noch eine Chance, dies im NATO-Rat zu verhindern.

Re-enlist or be sent back to Iraq
GIs claim threat: Re-enlist or be sent back to Iraq
Rocky Mountain News
09/16/04
Soldiers from a Fort Carson combat unit say they have been issued an ultimatum -- re-enlist for three more years or be transferred to other units expected to deploy to Iraq. Hundreds of soldiers from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team were presented with that message and a re-enlistment form in a series of assemblies last Thursday, said two soldiers who spoke on condition of anonymity. ... A Fort Carson spokesman said Wednesday that 3rd Brigade recruitment officers denied threatening the soldiers with Iraq duty. 'I can only tell you what the retention officers told us: The soldiers were not being told they will go to Iraq, but they may go to Iraq,' said the spokesman, who gave that explanation before being told later to direct all inquiries to the Pentagon...

Hold Them Accountable
On Monday, September 20, The Fight Back Campaign, Inc. will release the first in a series of hard-hitting television ads critical of the Bush Administration's execution of the Iraq war as part of a "Hold Them Accountable 2004" campaign. The ads will highlight the terrible cost of the Bush Administration's failures and mistakes in Iraq. The initial media buy will place the ads in Wisconsin and West Virginia.
With over 1,000 lives lost, the Bush Administration acts as if peace is just around the corner, but it is the lack of a real plan to stabilize Iraq that keeps costing American lives. The 30-second TV ad titled "Terrible Mistakes" highlights the terrible cost paid because of the Bush Administration's failure to develop a real plan to stabilize Iraq.
The first phase of the campaign will launch next week. Help us put this ad on the air across the nation, and produce future ads, to raise awareness and attention to the real costs of this Administration's failed policies.
