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.

Good for Duncan Hunter! He said what every congressional Republican should be saying, over and over again. The Democrats wouldn't be so successful with their propagandizing if so many Republicans weren't playing dead.

Next, Congressman Preston Brooks of South Carolina will walk into the Senate chamber and bring his gutta-percha cane down on the head of Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts.

Code Pink Commies say "nyah, nyah, nyah" to the truth. What childishness.
