Three March 23 letters about the recent march on the Pentagon protest and counter-protest raised points that need to be addressed.
Regarding the letter from Matt Mendelsohn of Arlington: The Gathering of Eagles did not hire security to protect the monuments. We hired security to protect our rally and equipment. The Park Service, with the voluntary aid of thousands of veterans, protected the monuments.
Regarding the letter from Mark Burton of Damascus: Mr. Burton quoted Mahatma Gandhi, yet Gandhi would not have marched, as Mr. Burton did, with a group such as the Answer Coalition, which reveres the communist mass murderer Che Guevera and has unconditionally endorsed the terrorists in Iraq.
Regarding the letter from Victoria Saker Woeste of West Lafayette, Ind.: The racism and ageism expressed makes me doubt her accusation. She provided no evidence that horse manure was flung at protesters by counter-protesters. However, The Post has posted a video report that shows a peace protester spitting on a Gathering of Eagles participant.
Given that the Answer Coalition, the organizer of the antiwar protest, has endorsed the killing of American soldiers by the so-called Iraqi resistance, holds rallies to support terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and supports the communist North Korean government, the restraint shown by the 30,000 veterans and other patriotic Americans who by my estimate took part at the Gathering of Eagles was remarkable.

The commies will be wondering what they did wrong for The Post to publish the truth about them after all these years of fawning coverage. I'm wondering too, LOL!
Nice.
This may be the first time the Post has printed that ANSWER supports the terrorists.
whoo hoo..Great job.
Thanks. Max should be pleasantly surprised this morning when he reads this made The Post.
What is the proof that ANSWER unconditionally supports the terrorists? I would like to have it at hand to be used at an opportune moment...Thanks.
Thank you.
You are truly an inspiration for all of us.
Counter-Revolution & Resistance in Iraq, by Richard Becker.
Having achieved their victory, however, the occupiers now confront a people who have a long and proud history of resistance. The anti-war movement here and around the world must give its unconditional support to the Iraqi anti-colonial resistance.
The statement was published on ANSWER's website as part of a four page downloadable flier in 2003 after the liberation of Iraq.

Thank you.
Great job Kristinn.
Well .. CBS has had a similar epiphany .. interviewing a former Jihadist who confirmed, in all his conversations, almost everything Stephen Emerson has said about them and how they operate.
I would have loved to have seen the faces of those regular CBS viewers who I'm sure had never heard any of that stuff before .. LOL!
I don't know what's going on .. but maybe a little glimmer of light has crept into a few media offices. I guess time will tell if there's any real change taking place. I'm not holding my breath.
By the way .. great letter .. clear, concise - right to the point!!
Good work!
I am surprised that you were able to convince the Post that ANSWER supports the terrorists in Iraq.
Great letter, kristinn!
Makes one proud to be a long-distance FRiend of the DC Chapter. Keep up the great work.
Good shot. I wonder if any of the other letter-writers were fronting for C.A.N.S.W.E.R.?
PING!
Apologies to anyone pinged previously on this thread.
BUMP for great freeping!
