100 Days of U.S. Occupation of IraqCome help local United for Peace and Justice groups grade the performance of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and the Bush Administration during their first "semester" of the Iraq occupation. How do the numbers add up?
* 100 Days of U.S. Occupation
* More than 6,000 Iraqi Civilians Dead
* 420 G.I.'s Dead
* 0 Weapons of Mass Destruction Found
On Wednesday, Aug. 6, gather at Dupont Circle at 6 p.m. with members of Code Pink, the Washington Peace Center, the American Friends Service Committee-D.C., the Institute for Policy Studies, Democracy Rising, Ministers for Racial Social and Economic Justice, and others. At 6:30 p.m., the groups will take their report card and a 100-piece "uranium" cake to Rumsfeld's house for a candlelight vigil and Speak Out, featuring representatives from the recently formed Occupation Watch Center in Baghdad, Military Families Speak Out, Veterans for Peace, and Iraqi Americans for Peaceful Alternatives.
Rumsfeld can't have his cake and eat it, too! For more information, call the Washington Peace Center at 202/234-2000.
