Subject: [ANSWER]: Jan. 27: Trigger for War - MOBILIZE FOR JAN. 18!
> January 27 - the Trigger for War
> WHY WE MUST ACT NOW!
>
> MOBILIZE FOR JANUARY 18:
> National March on Washington
> to Stop Bush's War on Iraq
>
> "Most United Nations diplomats" believe that the war can
> come in "record time" after the weapons inspectors' report
> is presented to the U.N. on January 27. "Not
> coincidentally," reports Reuters (1/1/03), "the date is an
> approximate time when the U.S. military would be ready to
> attack."
>
> Intervention by the people of the United States can stop
> the Bush Administration from using the report as an
> automatic trigger. The Associated Press reports in its New
> Year's poll that 2/3 of respondents in the U.S. are
> worried that an attack on Iraq will bring an attack on the
> soil of the U.S.
>
> Despite the fact that weapons inspectors have found no
> trace of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons in Iraq
> after unfettered access and 200 searches across the
> country, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld has ordered the
> doubling of troops near Iraq to over 100,000 by early
> January. The Pentagon is sending 11,000 more desert
> trained combat soldiers, foot soldiers, armor, aviation
> and artillery units, dozens more striker aircraft and two
> more aircraft carrier battle groups to the region by early
> January as well.
>
> The January 18 National March on Washington DC may very
> well be the last opportunity that we have on a national
> level to show the breadth and depth of opposition – the
> last chance to stop Bush's scheduled plan to start this
> war on Iraq. It is imperative that as many people as
> possible fill the streets of Washington DC to show united
> and mass opposition and the strength and power of our
> movement.
>
> While local actions are the essence of a grassroots
> movement and continue to take place everyday, there are
> times that require the people of the United States to come
> together in the largest possible mobilization.

> BUSES ARE TRAVELING TO WASHINGTON DC AND TO THE JOINT
