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.

“Job ain’t done. We are about 60% in Afghanistan and about 80% in Iraq.”
I was addressing Iraq. And we ARE done. The advisory capacity of the military from this point will not have a military mission...the Iraquis are in charge now...if they decide to war against each other, that is not on us and we have no place in it...as for Afghanistan, we SHOULD be done with everything but high altitude carpet bombing of the poppy fields, base camps and the odd fly over by the drones to snuff out any al queda that poke their heads up...
Why the need to have troops on the ground in Afghanistan is, if you’ll pardon the expression used by our Crackhead in Chief, “above my paygrade” but I think we are NUTS to pursue a ground war on that moonscape against the Taliban on their War Camels...
