WASHINGTON (AP) - Vietnam veteran David Cline sees resemblances between the war in Iraq and the one in which he almost lost his life. "This has got a lot of eerie parallels to what we went through," Cline said. As president of Veterans for Peace, Cline planned to join protesters Saturday to demonstrate against the war.

Organizers predicted more than 30,000 people would turn out in Washington for a march and speeches calling for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq. Thousands more were expected to flock to San Francisco for the biggest protest there since April, when more than 10,000 people filled the streets.

"The U.S. government has no right to try and recolonize Iraq," said Peta Lindsay, national youth and student coordinator for International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), which is organizing the protests with another group, United for Peace and Justice.

ANSWER coordinator Brian Becker said the anti-war movement has gained more support since May 1, when President Bush declared an end to major combat in Iraq.

"With each passing month, more and more Americans become disillusioned with the occupation of Iraq," said Becker.

To counter the anti-war demonstrations, the Washington chapter of Free Republic, an independent grass-roots conservative group, also planned a rally for Saturday at the U.S. Capitol, where organizers expect about 1,000 people.

"We support our troops and the commander in chief and their mission," said Kristinn Taylor, co-leader of the group.

The anti-war rally at the Washington Monument was to be followed by a march to the White House and Justice Department. Speakers include former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and Martin Luther King III.

Organizers said most of the protesters will be high school and college students coming from more than 140 cities in the United States and Canada. Becker said Muslim groups, veterans, and families who have loved ones in Iraq or in the military also plan to attend.

"We feel compelled to take part in this because we think this war is wrong," said Charley Richardson, one of the co-founders of the group Military Families Speak Out. "It never should have been fought in the first place."

For the West Coast protest, ANSWER and several other groups - Bay Area United Against War, Not in Our Name, United for Peace and Justice, and the Vanguard Foundation - have arranged transportation and protest logistics for protesters from Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and 27 California cities.

I am looking at this rally on C-SPAN and if they were expecting 30,000, they're a little light...

[ALOHA RONNIE]

HILLARY & BILL CLINTON, both supporters of our Terrorist Enemy HO CHI MINH during the Vietnam War...

refused 3 Offers from the Sudan during the 1990's to bring us our No. 1 Terrorist Enemy OSAMA bin LADEN to an America Jail that would have prevented the Attacks of September 11, 2001...

...and thus ANY need for Demonstrations in Washington, D.C. today.

Ask a HILLARY Minion ANSWER Groupie about this and it just drives them NUTS.

It sure did outside President BUSH's Century City Fundraiser in June.

Have a Good Time.

There is one similarity between the Vietnam War and the War on Terrorism... the lefties killed the American war effort in Vietnam (which was a completely winnable and just war, until politics entered the mix) and the lefties are trying again to kill our efforts... The socialist left of the world hate America and will do anything to weaken our position of power. Yes they definitely would be opposing this effort... they note similarities that don't exist because the negative recollection of Vietnam (that was put in place by the left in the media) will lend sympathy to their current anti-America push.... and, yeah ...Shoot'em and let God sort'em out!! Sounds good to me!!!

LBJ stopped being President when Friend of HILLARY Anti-U.S. Internationalist WALTER CRONKITE announced on TV that he was against the Vietnam War, which he had really been FROM THE START.

Now HILLARY's No. 1 Media Defensive Linebacker in her 2004 Run at the Presidency WALTER CRONKITE stated that all our Southern States should secede from our Union at a London World Conference in 2000.

The Enemy is now Within..
and always has been.

Kind of of telling that their supporters are under 20 yrs old

[hedgetrimmer]

They get angry because they know the truth, they are communists. But since the USSR and Pol Pot gave communism such a bad reputation, they try to hide the fact that they are pushing communism from the masses. If the masses ever figured out they are being pushed into communism, they may hesitate, and then the communist elites in the democratic party will be outed. And hopefully the masses will reject their communist teachings.

They would if the realized what is going on

[hedgetrimmer]

Because ANSWER and MOVEON actively recruit out of high school. The MOVEON people took over the PTA at a local high school last year and were recruiting people at the PTA meeing to go to a "teach in" in sacramento ostensibley about raising taxes to fund schools. It was creeeeeeeeppppppyyyy!

Public apathy and ignorance are stunning. How many people that you know actually realize what communism is and what it has wrought?

[hedgetrimmer]

It depends. Most of the parents sending their kids to the high school never look at the curriculum. If they did they would see it is peppered with anti-american pro-communist propoganda. Case in point, the so-called history text " a people's history of the United States" by howard zinn, the communist propoganda move "salt of the earth" are both part of the junior year history curriculum which makes no bones about being the "progressive" history of the United States.A least one teacher, registered in the green party, is an active communist and edits the local communist rag newpsaper, Alert!

"It's now the Communists and Muslims of the World verses...

...the Christians and Jews of the World"


Now Teach THAT at your local PTA..!!!
