From AFP: Around 20,000 demonstrators converged on the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah to protest US-brokered talks aimed at sketching out a post-Saddam Hussein administration. The Pentagon said it was not yet prepared to declare victory after 26 days of war, but US commanders expressed hope Tuesday the main stage of hostilities was over with the fall of Saddam's hometown of Tikrit. US officials switched their focus to neighbouring Syria, alleging that Damascus has been developing weapons of mass destruction, prompting calls for calm from the United Nations, Arab and European governments. The meeting in Nasiriyah was the first since the launch of the war on March 20 and was billed as a major step forward in the search for a new Iraqi leadership... A Free Iraqi Forces (FIF) soldier guards a meeting of local dignataries in Nasiriyah discussing the future governance of Iraq. (AFP/File/Tim Sloan) ...The New York Times quoted Garner as saying his mission to rebuild Iraq's political structures would be messy and contentious. His fears appeared justified as the talks in the Shiite bastion sparked a demonstration estimated by journalists to number around 20,000 people, led by religious figures. "Yes to freedom ... Yes to Islam ... No to America, No to Saddam," the crowd chanted in the centre of the city...
The FIF fighters are decidedly pro American.....they were trained by us, and wear our uniforms. And Those demonstrators are just uneasy because of the sudden change in Iraq, and they still don't trust us yet. Like everything in this war, give it time. Unicycle, your sensationalism never ceases to amaze me.
Re: Re: 20,000 Iraqis protest: "Yes to freedom, Yes to Islam ... No to America, No to Saddam&qu Every time, literally every SINGLE time you post, I am reminded of how you do not, how you CANNOT, possibly read...how typical, and, sadly, how common. There is no shortcut around authentic knowledge; READ! Meditate. Then post. Must I leave you with a koan? "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" Contemplate this, read a bit, then return to us, a fresh new "tunna," whatever that is...
Re: Re: Re: 20,000 Iraqis protest: "Yes to freedom, Yes to Islam ... No to America, No to Sadda Why? What's wrong with my post? Besides, upon further research, a lot of the protestors arn't anti american, they just feel they arn't being represented by the upper class of clerics. Besides, it must be nice to just cut n' paste to create threads. That's all you do. You may think I'm "illeterate," but if that were true, i wouldn't be engaging in this discussion. Maybe what you need is some original thought. All you do is post stuff you found somewhere, and when someone makes a comment, you jump from the shadows with an isult. It's a pretty tired act Unicycle.
Re: Re: Re: 20,000 Iraqis protest: "Yes to freedom, Yes to Islam ... No to America, No to Sadda I may be new to these threads, but I can't help but notice you have never quoted from the Washington Times, or for that Fox News. Most all of the articals you quote are from far left leaning news sources.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Only if you consider "Workers World Daily" just a little liberal. Pravda circa 1975 had nothing on some of this clown's sources. Coming here always makes me happy - such utter nonsense.
