Exiting Iraq: Military Experts Speak Out
“Bring Our Troops Home”
7:00 pm, Monday, September 10th
17 Logan Hall, University of Pennsylvania
249 S. 36th Street, Philadelphia
On the eve of General Petraeus’ report to the US Senate on the status of the surge in Iraq, join three internationally known military experts discussing why it is necessary for the United States to bring our troops home from Iraq quickly and safely. [Information on speakers below] After their presentations, these experts will lead a discussion on steps you can take to help end this war.
We need to show President Bush and his supporters in Congress that Pennsylvanians are fed up with his plans to occupy Iraq for fifty years, so help make his town hall standing room only. RSVP by going to:
