Chaos erupts outside Petraeus briefing

Chaos erupted Wednesday outside a House briefing with Army Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S. military commander on the ground in Iraq.
Protestors thronged the halls of the Rayburn House Office Building outside the committee room where Petraeus is briefing members of Congress. The assembled protestors, which included members of Code Pink, shouted for members to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq as the lawmakers entered the room.
Then, Rep. Duncan Hunter of California, the ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, called on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to resign after suggesting the war in Iraq is lost.
That prompted the protestors to shout him down and pandemonium ensued before Capitol Police officers cleared the hallway for reporters, members and aides.
Both parties have scheduled on-camera briefings following the meeting to share their impressions of what Petraeus has to say.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) scheduled a briefing for Democrats on Wednesday afternoon, a day after ABC reported that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) would not attend the meeting.

You left out the animal kingdom and it’s in the wrong order.
It should appear as:
S/he/it.
Now, say it all together at one time and what do you get?

“...Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) would not attend the meeting.”
Good. They have enough negative ditractions. Besides,she’s probably busy setting up a buffet line for the Code Pink post-protest party. They’ll need refreshments after all that military-bashing and hate-mongering.

Apparently Duncan Hunter is the only REAL man in the GOP that will stand up to the leftist democrats and rino's. This country needs him as President in 2008.
GIVE 'EM HELL, HUNTER!

The code pink folks are pushing free speech to its extremes, and the folks in DC are starting to notice.
Even many democrats find their members irrational and cult-like.
