Local Groups call for Friday afternoon demonstration against Ret. General Tommy Franks

This Friday, retired General Tommy Franks will be speaking at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center. RIT Anti-War and other local groups are calling for a protest to address the crimes against humanity that he oversaw as commander of the Invasion of Iraq.

THIS FRIDAY Meet at the Liberty Pole at 5pm March to the Convention Center for a rally at 6pm!!!

Bring SIGNS and BANNERS!!!

General Franks was the creator of the now infamous “Shock and Awe” relentless and brutal bombing of densely populated Iraqi cities. In response to questions about how many Iraqis might have perished in the bombings, Franks responded, “We don’t do body counts.”

Franks the opportunist that he is, retired shortly after the invasion was complete, ensuring that his name would not be associated with the ongoing quagmire that is the occupation. So while our friends and family who are serving in Iraq are forced to stay in Iraq and continue to fight a losing battle against a people defending their homes, Franks makes money on the lecture circuit.

RIT Anti War calls on everyone who opposes the war in Iraq to join us in protesting this man’s actions, actions that have led to the senseless, unjustified deaths of countless Iraqis and Americans.

This protest has been called by RIT Anti War, a student run antiwar group at the Rochester Institute of Technology. RIT Anti War is affiliated with the Campus Antiwar Network, a national coalition of student antiwar groups on high school and college campuses.
