The 100,000 person march in Washington D.C. today...

| 1 Comment
...turned out to have a little less than 100,000 attendents and many of them were on the side of President Bush and the developing Democracy in Iraq. ABC News/AP reports:
Anti-War Protesters March in Washington
Thousands of Anti-War Demonstrators March in Washington, London; Rallies Planned in L.A., Rome

Opponents of the war in Iraq rallied by the thousands Saturday to demand the return of U.S. troops, staging a day of protest, song and remembrance of the dead in marches through Washington and other American and European cities.
The money quote is in the second paragraph:
"More than 2,000 people gathered"
Of course, Reuters drank the cool-aid and showed its bias wonderfully. From Yahoo/Reuters:
Thousands protest Iraq war, globalization
More than 100,000 protesters flooded Washington on Saturday to stage dual demonstrations against the U.S.-led war in Iraq and economic globalization, before coming together to demand that President George W. Bush bring troops home.
And further into the Reuters "News" piece:
The crowds swelled throughout the day, and by late afternoon organizers of the anti-war demonstration said 300,000 people had assembled -- exceeding an anticipated 100,000. Washington police declined to comment on the size of the rally.
Getty Images has photos of the crowds such as this one:

GlobalCop has some images of the people who were staging a counter-protest -- each image is presented as a separate entry so look for September 24th and start scrolling down (lots of them). Here is one:

And narley.org has some random photos of the protesters. Here is one (with caption):

We found it! Here is the new message! "Run away from the enemy and build levees" - you know - the levees that the environmentalists prevented the construction of in the 1990's, when Bill was in the White House
Buh-Bye!
