This group should probably change the name to The Gathering of the Turkeys. Despite a nationwide plea to come to Washington to counterdemonstrate against Americans who want us to withdraw from Iraq....it looks like approximately 50 folks showed up. Reminds me of the group of us we gathered up to "greet" Ashcroft when he came to Norfolk a few years back....and we were local and put our group together at the last minute.
This group has never held their own independent march because they "know" that the MAJORITY of the American people want OUT of Iraq....They simply try to whip on the extreme right wing neocon base with lies that the Vietnam Memorial is going to be attacked in order to get some of them in a frenzy. The folks that want the U.S. out of Iraq is not an extremist movement it's middle America that wants out of Iraq. You can attend one major demonstration in D.C. against the Iraq Occupation and you'll see families marching together....
It's too bad that the America people are being ignored....but as more and more folks join together (and this includes many moderate Republicans) our voices will get louder. The people won't tolerate the government continuing to ignore us.if it was we would already be out of Iraq.
