DFA Screening: "Rethink Afghanistan"
The Newport DFA is presenting a screening of the Brave New Film's "Rethink Afghanistan." The film explores the assumptions, practices, strategies, goals and likely consequences of our current military involvement in Afghanistan.
This one hour (61 minutes) film is being sponsored by the Newport Democracy For America (DFA). You can find more information and RSVP to attend here.
The New York Times recently published the full text of U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry’s memo to President Obama detailing his deep reservations about sending more troops to Afghanistan. The White House ignored his warnings and sent troops anyway.
With the House Armed Services Committee set to begin the 2011 Defense Department budget process on Wednesday, February 3rd, it’s essential that its members read Eikenberry’s warnings about the dangers of deepening U.S. military involvement in the Afghanistan war.
