The Generals and Obama. With Friends Like These.....

"There they go now, marching off to war again
Smiling proudly, with their heads in the clouds
See them smile now, marching off in lines." - Oingo Boingo

The military has decided it needs more troops in Afghanistan (didn't see that one coming did ya?). News flash: The military always decides it needs more troops in wartime and they are routinely, and sadly, supported by Washington D.C. think tanks and weaker elected officials.

The President, to his credit, has decided he needs to rethink Afghanistan. Now the Beltway games begin. Now begin the leaks, the announcements that troops are in danger. The unverifiable rumor passes from the generals to the neo-cons to Condi Rice to Joe Lieberman. Never mind that these same "experts" insisted we needed war with Iraq or we would all die in a mushroom cloud.

They were wrong then, they are wrong now. But now we have a chance to stop this from turning into further tragedy.

The President is asking questions. Members of the House are standing up and saying no. Senator Feingold is asking for troop withdrawal. And most important, the public is taking action. They are saying no more! No more escalation, no more destabilization, no more cost, no more civilian deaths, and no more American casualties!

But remember, the public said no to Iraq and it took years to end the war. It's easy to get into war, hard to get out.

The time to act is now. Join us at Rethink Afghanistan and take action. Organize a grassroots screening, send a letter to your representative, write a letter to the editor.

Watch the film! Stop the War!

This is a real time documentary, for real time solutions.
