WASHINGTON -- They've marched in the streets, demonstrated on college campuses and held "teach-ins" to educate people about their cause.

But who knew?

They are the supporters of a possible U.S. war against Iraq. And their activities, so far, have been much fewer and less visible than those of their antiwar counterparts.

According to Google news, this article was also in the Toledo Blade.

Let's hope this is the first of many articles.

BUMP!

[Bob J]

Thanks Kristinn...here it begins. Eagles up!

Let's hope this is the first of many articles

Dare I say- HUNDREDS!

ping.

Drive home the message over and over, and over...

But there are a growing number of "pro-war" groups, ranging from Bennett's organization, which was established shortly after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, to Students For Protecting America, which was launched by a few Harvard Law School students just two weeks ago.

It's great that we're finally getting some print, but I wish they would stop that leftist habit of referring to us as "pro-war." We are Pro-America, Pro-Troops and Pro-Bush. "Pro-War" is a bit sensationalist. But, hey...we'll take the publicity.

Good find, kristinn. Bump to more rallies to support the troops and America!

[firebrand]

It's started!

[Bob J]

I made that point over and over to the reporter. Guess we have to take what bones are thrown to us. This one wasn't half bad. We'll keep trying to fix it.

[kristinn]

This is a great first step. With only two weeks, every day counts in getting the word out.

[Allegra]

Oh, I know. We've run into the same thing in Houston. We tell reporters that we're not so much "pro-war," as we are supporters of the administration's policies and of our troops. They always ignore that. I think what you said is GREAT!

Only UN-Americans put the U.N. before the U.S.

Can someone please explain to me as to why we want to "liberate" Iraq? This article does not explain it.

If we are planning to liberate their oil, at least I could understand that.

[kristinn]

The media loves to speak in shorthand. "Pro-war if necessary to disarm Saddam Hussein of WMDS and free the Iraqi people" is too long for them.

Anti-terrorism, pro-freedom or pro-America would be more accurate, but that would define our opposition as being to opposed to our positions (which, in fact, they are.)

[TLBSHOW]

Good work Bob and I will crusie the rats holes to find out any counter moves they may plan. I will keep you posted on that.
And of course I will get a rally started here deep in the heart of Hillary country.

The liberals won't know what hit them that weekend!

[rep-always]

This is great. We will show Saddam and the world that the antiwar protesters are really in the minority, they just have the liberal media behind them.

[kristinn]

Saddam Hussein is one of the most despicable heads of state in history. As a byproduct of regime change and disarmament, we will help the Iraqi people set up a government of their choosing in freedom.

Try doing a search on the word "torture"....it'll help you catch up.

[Bob J]

For the same reason we wanted to "liberate" France, Germany, Poland and Hungary.
