War In Iraq- Immediate Withdrawal Of All U.S. Troops And Mercenaries! Stop The Bombing! –Stop The Arms Shipments …

As the Nobel
Peace Prize Winner, U.S. President Barack Obama, orders more air bombing
strikes in the North, sends more “advisers” to “protect” American outposts in
Iraq, and sends arms shipments to the Kurds guys who served in the American
military during the Vietnam War and who, like me, belatedly, got “religion” on
the war issue might very well be excused for disbelief when the White House
keeps pounding out the propaganda that these actions are limited when all signs
point to the slippery slope of escalation. Now not every event in history gets
exactly repeated but given the recent United States Government’s history in
Iraq those vets might be on to something. In any case dust off the old banners,
placards, and buttons and get your voices in shape- just in case.

Here is something to think about:
Workers and the oppressed have no interest in a victory by one combatant
or the other in the reactionary Sunni-Shi’ite civil war. However, the
international working class definitely has a side in opposing imperialist
intervention in Iraq and demanding the immediate withdrawal of all U.S. troops
and mercenaries. It is U.S. imperialism that constitutes the greatest danger to
the world’s working people and downtrodden.

U.S. Airstrikes and Aid for Iraq City Under Siege by ISIS
The Pentagon says the U.S. military has conducted airstrikes and dropped humanitarian aid to the beleaguered Iraqi city of Amirli, where thousands of Shiite Turkomen have been cut off from food and water for nearly two months by Islamic State militants.
The Pentagon's press secretary, Rear Adm. John Kirby, says aircraft from Australia, France and Britain joined the U.S. in the aid drop. Kirby says the aid came at the request of the Iraqi government.
Kirby says the U.S. military conducted the airstrikes against Islamic State militants in order to support the aid delivery. He said the operations will be limited in scope and duration as needed to address the humanitarian crisis in Amirli and protect the civilians trapped in the town.
