Doctors For Iraq is a medical, humanitarian, right to health organisation established by a group of Iraqi doctors in Baghdad in 2003. Doctors For Iraq was established following the 2003 invasion of Iraq to provide emergency medical aid to civilians in the conflict areas of Iraq and to advocate on the right to health for patients, doctors and medical staff.

THE ADELAIDE IRAQ WAR CONNECTIONWe in Adelaide are part of this! Adelaide has it's own corporate connections with the Iraq war. One of the greatest beneficiaries of the corporate carve up of Iraq is the company called Halliburton, which provides oil and gas drilling, construction and military support. The Adelaide thread to war profiteering is the Halliburton subsidiary, Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR), situated on Greenhill Road, Parkside, South Australia. Check these links and see the reach of this war profiteer and the efforts by the US Congress to reign in Dick Cheney's old company: |

NoWar previously held a large protest outside the KBR offices in an effort to bring their activities to the notice of the passers by on this busy roadway. We had much support for this event and it was featured in a documentary on SBS on 6 October 2004. We now have a regular presence there on Fridays every three weeks. This campaign requires a few dedicated people who can come on Friday afternoons and commit themselves over a long period. If you are interested in this campaign, which is coordinated by Graham and Edward, please contact Graham on (08)8581 1890 or email Edward at e_cranswick@yahoo.com for direct information about the next protest.

British
troops have returned to Basra, in a major change of policy, six
months after withdrawing from the city because their presence was
said to be provoking violence from the militias. Around 150 UK
military personnel with Mastiff and Warrior armoured vehicles have
been deployed in the past few days alongside Iraqi government forces
in the aftermath of fierce fighting against the Mehdi Army. 
that
disqualify some soldiers from the military body count. For
example, most people who sustain grievous physical wounds, but die
outside of Iraq, are not counted. Most people who are seriously
wounded, often are not only rushed out of country in drug induced
comas to save their lives, but I think it's damage control on
behalf of the military. Suicides, caused by Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder aren't counted. I think that is messed up, because the
death toll would be much higher if suicides and extracountry
deaths were counted.
Think
you're being gouged by Big Oil? U.S. forces in Iraq are paying
almost as much as Americans back home, despite burning fuel at
staggering rates in a war to stabilize a country known for its oil
reserves. Military units pay an average of $3.23 a gallon for
gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, some $88 per day per service member
in Iraq, according to an Associated Press review and interviews
with defense officials. A penny or two increase in the price of
fuel can add millions of dollars to U.S. costs.
Baghdad's
military command has extended a round-the clock curfew in the city
for an indefinite period. It was imposed on Thursday amid clashes
between troops and Shia militias in Baghdad and elsewhere, and was
due to expire early on Sunday morning. The news came hours after
radical Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr's Mehdi Army militia said it
would defy a government call to lay down its weapons.
It has been a war of
lies from the start. All governments lie in wartime but American
and British propaganda in Iraq over the past five years has been
more untruthful than in any conflict since the First World War.
The outcome has been an
official picture of Iraq akin to fantasy and an inability to learn
from mistakes because of a refusal to admit that any occurred. Yet
the war began with just such a mistake. Five years ago, on the
evening of 19 March 2003, President George Bush appeared on
American television to say that military action had started
against Iraq.
A
Chaldean Catholic archbishop who was abducted in Iraq last month
has been found dead, according to church officials in Rome and
Baghdad. It was not clear if Paulos Faraj Rahho died as a
result of his poor health or if he was killed, they said on
Thursday.
NoWar has developed a long term campaign against the activities of
KBR/Halliburton,
