<p>DEARBORN -- On Wednesday they danced in the streets. By Thursday, a more somber mood had settled over Dearborn's Iraqis.</p> <p>The joy was shattered at the news that two members of Dearborn's Karbalaa Islamic Center -- exiled Iraqis who rushed back to their homeland to aid in the country's rebuilding -- had died.</p>

Aziz Al-Taee, chairman of the Iraqi-American Council, was just on FoxNews, talking about supporting the US coalition efforts to remove Saddam. Their website address was shoown on the screen, so I went there. "The Iraqi American Council is a non-sectarian, non-ethnic, non-government organization working to promote democracy and human rights in Iraq, to empower Iraqi-Americans to participate in mainstream American life and to preserve their cultural heritage." Clicking on the link of their home page: "Why Saddam? Why Now", ( http://www.iraqiamericans.com/pr/2003/pat-rall-4-amer.asp ) took me to a page, where to my surprise a FR rally was mentioned. The rally was about...

Today at noon, FReepers of the DC Chapter left their barracks to oppose Code Pink and associated leftist malcontents. About 30 leftists had gathered to protest Fox News at the Fox office near Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Starting the thread now & will add to later. Our California cousins, also known as FReepers in the San Francisco area, are invited to add comments to this thread about their activities in the West Coast theatre of operations in opposition to the Code Pinkos attack on the SF Fox office. Completely outclassing the leftists was a gathering of eagles. Intrepid FReepers...

<p>Were they protesting the war against Iraq outside Lounge 201 on Tuesday night?</p> <p>Hardly.</p> <p>It was the "Freepers" again — members of the D.C.

Bob Nardo is one of them.

Washington (CNSNews.com) - A sea of red, white and blue, sprinkled with a few yellow ribbons, filled the area outside the Lincoln Memorial Sunday, as several hundred demonstrators gathered Sunday to show their support for President Bush and America's troops in the Persian Gulf. The rally in the nation's capital was one of the many planned across the country in what was dubbed "Liberty Weekend." The gathering of flag-waving and sign-carrying Americans came just a day after antiwar protesters marched through the streets of Washington, D.C., carrying a very different message. "I don't want a war," said Bobbi Chuetze of...

Free Republic Network this organization is nothing but a Crazy White Racist, In CSPAN2 they have rally The Patriots Rally for America, and they have this so called Iraqi opposition calling for war against Iraq, and one of them even use the Holy Quran to justify war against a Muslim country he said he represent the people of Iraq and his organization Karbalas Islamic Center and he called him self IMAM.
