I hope people will come out to greet General Myers for his terrible work in protecting American lives on 911 and for being one of the chief promoters and planners of the Iraq War debacle on the 19th.
A little about General Myers:
As Acting Chairman, Myers was the highest-ranking military official, and the third in command, behind only the Secretary of Defense and the President. General Myers was acting head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on September 11th. On September 13th, he is going for a nomination hearing to be made head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This is the most important day of his life because on this day that Myers, an Air Force General with thousands of hours of time flying fighter planes, is acting chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It's the only day in history that the continental United States has ever been attacked from the air.
Myers claims he is at Senator Max Cleland's office at 8:40 EDT. He sees on TV that the first plane has hit the World Trade Center. He claims on Armed Services Radio that at that point he went in and met with Cleland for an hour. Nobody called him and told him that a second plane had hit, that the air corridor had been closed between Washington and Cleveland, that a plane had been hijacked in Ohio and was flying back to the Pentagon. Then he also claims that when he walked out of Cleland's office, he was handed a portable phone and it was the head of NORAD--the North American Aerospace Defense Command--telling him the Pentagon had been hit.

In a recent article by USA Today, Myers cautioned against cutting the military budget to help pay for recovery from Hurricane Katrina and linked the post-9/11 war on terrorism with the fighting in Iraq, saying both require a continuing commitment by the American people, who sometimes "tend to forget" the threat from al-Qaeda and other terror groups. "This is a handful of folks who are willing to do despicable acts in the name of extremism," Myers said.
Iraq, Myers said, is now al-Qaeda's "center of gravity," and the United States shouldn't reduce its forces there prematurely. "My view is, if terrorism wins in Iraq, the next 9/11 is right around the corner."

Who's call this demonstatio/protest and at what time does it begin?
WE DON NOT WANT YOU HERE. STAY AWAY. We here in CC have no interest in your juvenile ranting. Go protest elsewhere.
Let him know that we think he is shit.
...how CC claims to speak for all of Contra Costa County.
Actually, I just saw it advertised in a commerical printing magazine and thought people should know about it :)
I don't know, can we get some organizers from Code Pink, Not In Our Name, World Can't Wait to sign on to show up, say anytime after 5:00 pm?

CC...this is America. Although many of our leaders and you apparently do not respect the rights for which past generations have died...the rights to peacefully protest and present our grievances...this is one of the things that we have been able to do...a freedom...up until these times.
Perhaps you should go to another country...where protests are not allowed and you will be happy. Peaceful protestors should be welcome anywhere....it is a right cherished by so many americans..but not you.
