BUCKINGHAM PALACE PROTEST AGAINST WAR PRESIDENT OBAMA

Without a trace of irony, President Barack Obama — the
commander-in-chief of an empire which straddles the world, who
has more than doubled the troops in Afghanistan, who continues to
occupy Iraq, who has dramatically escalated a deadly drone war in
Pakistan and who is currently bombing Libya — spoke last week of
the "moral force of non-violence" and said he "will not tolerate
aggression across borders". (SEE Choking on the Hypocrisy of
Obama’s Hollow Platitudes: http://bit.ly/kBiFrl )

Obama is currently waging three wars which are opposed by the
majority of people in Britain and the United States — in
Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. He has already, in his first two
years in office, attacked six countries — two more than George W
Bush.

This is why Stop the War, CND and other organisations have
organised an anti-war protest at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday 24
May, at 5.30pm, when Obama is on a state visit to Britain, with
bed and breakfast provided by the Queen.

The protest will call for the withdrawal of all troops from
Afghanistan, an immediate end to the bombing of Libya and freedom
for Palestine, which yet again was let down in Obama’s speech
last week by rhetoric which far outstripped any indication that
he is going to do anything to stop Israel’s countless violations
of international law.
