VFP Statement on Bring Them Home Now!

BRING THEM HOME NOW! is a coordinating committee of military families, veterans, active duty personnel, reservists and others opposed to the ongoing war in Iraq and galvanized to action by George W. Bush's inane and insensitive challenge to Iraqi armed occupation resisters to "bring 'em on."

Our mission is to mobilize military families, veterans, and GIs themselves to demand: An end to the occupation of Iraq and other misguided military adventures; and an immediate return of all US troops to their home duty stations.

The truth is coming out. The American public was deceived by the Bush administration about the motivation for and intent of the invasion of Iraq. It is equally apparent that the administration is stubbornly and incompetently adhering to a destructive course. Many Americans do not want our troops there. Many military families do not want our troops there. Many troops themselves do not want to be there. The overwhelming majority of Iraqis do not want US troops there.

Our troops are embroiled in a hopeless regional quagmire.

None of us were deceived about IWR being anything other than a war resolution!
