Tens of thousands of demonstrators from across the country are expected to converge in Washington today to urge the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq as President Bush is proposing to send more troops in an effort to stabilize the country.
They plan to rally on the Mall, march around the north side of the Capitol and send a strong message to the government.
The event, which authorities said could draw 100,000 people, starts with a rally at 11 a.m. Among those expected to address the crowd are Jane Fonda, Danny Glover, Susan Sarandon and Jesse Jackson.
The march, organized by the group United for Peace and Justice, is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.

Fifty to 100 members of the Washington chapter of the conservative organization FreeRepublic.com plan to rally near the U.S. Navy Memorial to oppose the march and the participation of Jane Fonda, the chapter said. The actress has long been the object of conservative ire for her support of North Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
"These groups are the ones that are acting as the political arm of the terrorists overseas to help bring about America's defeat in the war on terror," said Kristinn Taylor of FreeRepublic.com.

Hey...KAC, the Mayor of Salt Lake City is accusing our military of torturing people...
Tell me, I can : )
I can only imagine
All things being equal, Mo1, I would agree. However, things are not equal. They're not hanging themselves...they're campaigning. For the Left, every minute of every day is a campaign. They've been spouting some of the most hateful sh** for the last six years, and two months ago, they were rewarded for it.

The Iraqi government is against the occupation.
We lived together for the last thousands of years and we know how to rule our country by ourself.
The only thing the Bush administration has taught the Iraqi administration is how to ignore their own people.
(How many reports do you suppose this guy has filed with the AP and Reuters)
Oh, boy, sounds like Sindy is up next.
Their fellow soldiers will, I hope, show their appreciation to these traitors when they return to their bases.
A thousand, ten thousand?
Don't forget, they claim this was a million people:

I'll be generous and give them 10,000, but keep in mind, they claim 1,400 organizations and groups are participating.
