iraq Events 6th Anniversary of U.S. Invasion and Occupation of Iraq There may be a new kid on the block but that doesn’t change the fact that there is still an illegal U.S. occupation in Iraq. March 20 marks the 6th anniversary of the illegal U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq - the occupation which still continues.  President Obama’s “campaign promise” of “ending the Iraq War” consists of withdrawing 2/3 of U.S. troops by 2010 and keeping the other 1/3 there (to protect U.S. “interests” of course!).  Not only that, Obama plans to send an 8additional8 17,000 troops to Afghanistan. Meanwhile human services for critical needs go under-funded (or unfunded) in the U.S.  while our leaders spend this much money on both Iraq and Afghanistan: http://www.armscontrolcenter.org/policy/securityspending/articles/gwot_spending_burn_rate/ U.S. SPENDING ON IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN BY MONTH, WEEK, DAY, HOUR, MINUTE, & SECOND (based on adjusted DOD FY 2007 obligations)   Iraq Afghanistan Total Per Month $10.3 billion $2 billion $12.3 billion Per Week $2.4 billion $469 million $2.9 billion Per Day $343 million $67 million $410 million Per Hour $14 million $2.8 million $17 million Per Minute $238,425 $46,296 $284,722 Per Second $3,973 $771 $4,745 SOURCE: Data from Amy Belasco, “The Cost of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Other Global War on Terror Operations Since 9/11,” Congressional Research Service (updated February 8, 2008). Totals may not add due to rounding. Please come out to the People for Peace and Just of Utah sidewalk vigil on Thursday, March 19, 2009 from 5:30-6:30 100 South State Street with your message of ending this occupation and other U.S. occupations around the world. Please bring signs, music, energy.  Some signs provided. We’d like to see all four corners of that intersection filled with people demanding an end to war and occupation and the expenditure of U.S. dollars on these and other unecessary conflicts and to start focusing on spending money for needs in the U.S. Please tell everyone! 1
