WASHINGTON (AP) — Hundreds of war protesters from across the country gathered in Washington on Saturday to mark the sixth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.

Organizers from the ANSWER Coalition said more than 1,000 groups sponsored the protest to call for an end to the Iraq war. Holding signs that read "We need jobs and schools, not war" and "Stop the war!" they rallied around noon across the street from the Lincoln Memorial and by 1:30 p.m., were beginning to march across the Memorial Bridge to the Pentagon.

They obviously did not get the memo that it’s over and we won.

Meanwhile, hundreds of “TEA Parties” with thousands of people at each event, get almost NO media coverage.

“”The situation in Iraq will improve only if the Americans and the Iraqi politicians withdraw from Iraq ,” said Abbas al Dulaimy, 31, as he walked through Baghdad . “The situation will soon be worse because the politicians will look out only for their interests like those who demand to divide Iraq . . . it will be chaos.”

Does Billy-the-Bomber have any restraining order to stay away from the 5-sided place? I don't think he would be a welcome protester.

I’m shocked.
SHOCKED!

Shocked that the AP actually ran this story.
It must have been in small print on page 3,543.

Job ain’t done. We are about 60% in Afghanistan and about 80% in Iraq. Still have to stand up armies from the locals in Iraq and get them off our teat. Things are going good though. Taliban are causing trouble in Afghanistan though it’s going to take some more sweat and blood to finish the job.

This gets coverage while the Right to Life March every year has a couple hundred thousand show up and it doesn’t garner a peep nor the Tea Parties with thousands showing.
