Dear friends,
Once again the claim that al Qaeda has taken over Fallujah is being used to justify a heavy-handed military assault on the city. And again, these claims are false.
The Iraqi government has been bombing Fallujah with weapons sold to them by the US government. Already over 100 civilians have been killed. Furthermore, one of the weapon systems that the Iraqi government is reported to be using is the Hellfire missile. This is one of the weapons that is believed to have contributed to the health crisis in Fallujah back in 2004.
Please sign our petition to tell the President and Congress to stop arming the Iraqi government.
