The "Many More" Must Be Too Steamed to Move

Here's the Associated Press' dispatch that was picked up by my (news)paper reporting on the sincerity and conviction of the anti-war protesters; again, I'm not kidding:

Rally marks Iraq invasion
Antiwar protesters seek troops’ return

WASHINGTON — Thousands of protesters carried signs that read “Indict Bush Now’’ and flag-draped cardboard coffins yesterday urging the immediate withdrawal of all troops sent into combat overseas.

Protesters rallied at Lafayette Park across from the White House and then began marching through downtown seven years after the US-led invasion of Iraq. Seven protesters, including activist Cindy Sheehan, were arrested after the rally.

Stops on the route include military contractor Halliburton, the Mortgage Bankers Association, and The Washington Post offices.

The protest — which called for the immediate withdrawal of troops sent to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan — drew a smaller crowd than the tens of thousands of people who marched in 2006 and 2007.

But organizers said many more people have become disenchanted with President Obama, who has pledged to withdraw troops from Iraq, because he ordered more troops into Afghanistan.
