BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) -- Tens of thousands of pro-Syrian protesters have flooded into a square in front of the U.N. building in central Beirut in a massive counterpoint to recent anti-Damascus rallies.
CNN's Beirut Bureau Chief Brent Sadler described Tuesday's crowds as "impressive."
He said it was a "very well organized -- and so far very well disciplined -- show of strength" by those with another view to the demonstrators seen in the last three weeks.
Like the anti-Syrian demonstrators, the protesters at the Hezbollah-organized rally carried red, white and green Lebanese flags and posters with pictures of assassinated former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
But unlike the anti-Syrian groups -- which have staged protests a few blocks away almost daily since Hariri was killed February 14 -- the pro-Syrian protesters also carried pictures of Syrian President Bashar Assad and posters denouncing U.S. policies in the Middle East.
They particularly slammed U.N. Resolution 1559, which calls for the complete and immediate withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon.

...The things you see when you aint got a cluster bomb...sad...
Figures, it was from CNN.
It should wind the DUmmies up real nice but that's a good thing. Everytime the DUmmies openly support terrorists a few dim bulbs flicker on over there with the realization that they are amongst insanity.
Oh I was lurking there - they are practically peeing in their pants over this. They just don't realize that alot of these people who are protesting are members of Hezbollah and radical muslims.
Source?
Anyone notice the coverage time this rally is getting compared to the PATHETIC coverage the PRO-LEBANESE rallies get? Instead, we get to hear about Michael Jackson, Scott Peterson's sister, Dan Rather's goodbye, blah, blah, blah.....
But now that there is a PRO-SYRIA rally, the coverage won't stop.
these people are nothing more than Syrians in Lebanese clothing.
I know what it is. Why this mob looks so different. All males. Not just all Arab, but all males because these are the jew-hating, woman-beating, boy-buggering followers of the religion of death.
Exactly!
I know. It was all Michael Jackson and Martha Stewart (coming out of jail). Like these people are important in this world!
LOL Looks like Hezbollah is as illiterate as some of our Leftist protestors right here in this country!
WE WANT MORE OPPRESSION!!!
AND WE WANT IT NOW!!!
That seems like a lot: 1.5 million out of a total Lebanese population of 3,777,218 (source: CIA Factbook): about 40% of everyone in the country is at a pro-Syrian Hezbollah-sponsered demostration in Beirut?
Amazing isn't it? Islam = Idiot Zombies!
