Several hundreds of pro- and anti-Bush demonstrators duel verbally near Bush speech
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. It's a familiar scene: several hundred protesters near the site of one of President Bush's speeches. Across the street, in equal numbers: a pro-Bush crowd showing their support for the president.The setting this time was Rancho Cucamonga, California, 45 miles east of Los Angeles, where Bush spoke at a senior center.
In baking heat, separated by a wide boulevard and some police officers, protesters denounced the war in Iraq, while their pro-Bush counterparts chanted "U-S-A, U-S-A."
Retired teacher Jack Monroe says the country lost its focus by going into Iraq rather than finding Osama bin Laden and his terrorist cells.
On the other side, Doug Cogan, who's son-in-law is in the Navy, said if you truly support the troops, you also must support their mission.
