"March 19 will mark 12 years since the devastating US invasion of Iraq. Join this action to call for the US to get out once and for all, as troops continue to flow back into the country under the pretext of "fighting ISIS." The event will also focus on the US bombing of Syria, and the similarities between the alleged withdrawal from Iraq in 2011 and the "end of combat operations" in Afghanistan in December. While there were about 250 troops in Iraq prior to the Islamic State's seizing territory in June, that number is growing to about 3000, maybe more. Airstrikes in Syria and Iraq have killed dozens of civilians".
