Dear Phyllis:
This afternoon - two days after the release of
classified military documents on the Afghanistan war by WikiLeaks -
the House of Representatives is likely to vote on whether to approve
the Obama administration's request for $33 billion more for the war.
Now, more than ever, it's time for Congress to say no
to the Pentagon's war funding bill. Click here and take action now.
This is particularly true in the absence of
Congressional hearings on the serious questions that the leaked
documents raise about the futility of the war and the misleading
accounts that have been provided to Congress and the American people. A
veteran Member of Congress told me today that not one of the briefings
that he has had on Afghanistan ever reflected the grim portrayal of
the war revealed by these documents.
Join Win Without War members and activists from across
the country and tell your Representatives to say "no" to Pentagon war
money.
The release of these classified documents has
raised greater public attention - and public doubts - about the war
in Afghanistan. They underscore the reality that the Pentagon-led
Afghanistan strategy is built on quicksand.
They include detailed accounts, for example, of how the
Pakistani government--which receives over $1 billion a year from
the U.S.--is supporting attacks on U.S. troops by the Taliban.
A previously hidden Civil Affairs Report from 2007 gives a
stark appraisal of the attitude of Afghans toward the government: "The people
of Afghanistan keep loosing (sic) their trust in the
government because of the high amount of corrupted government
officials. The general view of the Afghans is that the current
government is worst (sic) than the Taliban." This makes any
counterinsurgency strategy mission impossible to achieve regardless of
the number of soldiers who are sent into harm's way.
It is unconscionable to send American men and women to Afghanistan to
risk their lives for a strategy that is built on quicksand.
Act now and call on your Member of Congress to do the
right thing and vote no on the Supplemental Appropriation for the war
in Afghanistan.
Tom, Ryan & the Win Without War team
