The years of George W. Bush’s presidency made for fun and exciting viewing of a variety of anti-war groups protesting Bush’s foreign policy and never-ending “military engagements” that taxpayers are still on the hook to pay for. But as Barack Obama continues the drumbeat of war against Syria, where is the outrage from protest groups like Code Pink?
Apparently, these groups are flat out of money. It also does not help that a Democrat is now in the White House, which takes much of the fodder out of their purely hypocritical and entirely hollow cries for so-called “peace”. According to Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin, in fact, many of the groups that spent many-a-working-hour during the Bush administration protesting his foreign policy simply no longer exist.
“That’s the number one problem, is that the antiwar movement is a shadow of its former self under the Bush years.” She said many of the smaller groups are down to just a few volunteer members, and even the once-well-known Code Pink stands as a hollow shell of what it once may have been.

Where’s the revocation of the Phoney Peace Prize?
Where is it? Trying to get His Majesty another Nobel Peace Prize. Thats where they are.
Very easy to understand: They were more anti-American than pro-peace. Obama is now doing their work for them so they are not needed.
Might there not be a distinct possibillity that they are too busy Being Trayvon..to get involved?
Whatever happened to the Bush Era surrender monkeys?
the american “antiwar” movement is and was always NOT an antiwar movement; it is a Marxist run (with many fellow travelers) political movement that has used “war” mostly but other issues as well as a “crisis to not let go to waste” in organizing against any kind of conservative leadership in Washtington D.C.; but Obama is one of theirs so they will sit this crisis out - the phonies that they are
We’re waiting for Baghdad Jim McDermott and his crew to head for Damascus as human shields. No? Never mind.
They are not being paid to show up and protest this time
They are wings of the Democrat party. Nothing but campaign tools at the expense of our country.
Paging Cindy Sheehan.
The anti war movement aka the RATS are only anti war when a pubbie is Potus.
Muskrat Cindy,

What to do, what to do ...

You hit it!!! The ONLY wars the Peaceniks were against, starting with Vietnam was a war that was fought for the benefit of the United States and/or its allies.
IF the USA went to a real war in defense, under a Republican president, the Anti-war crowd would be in our faces so fast, it would set an Olympic speed record.
They’re being led to protest fast food by the same idiots who led endless protests against the “Bush wars”.
If the “Left” can seduce the nations into another “World War” the aftermath of which would be horrendous then they can fully expect to jump into the political and social voids created with their One World Marxist style government. Sound far fetched? Look what happened all over Europe after WWI and WWII.
