米自由新聞：米兵千家族代表数百人がホワイトハウス襲撃し民主党議員も加わるイラク撤退要求。

はてな、こげな記事が日本の大手紙に載ったかいな。

しかし、米軍が来年撤退情報は流れたのだから、「火のないところに煙は立たない」のであろう。

Military Families Plead With Bush: 'Bring Boys Home'

Relatives of military men are ever more loudly demanding that troops be withdrawn from the guerrilla war in Iraq.

By James P. Tucker Jr.

Hundreds of people representing about 1,000 military families stormed the Capitol on Sept. 9 to demand that the United States abandon its occupation of Iraq.

There was no evidence that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction or links to the 9-11 "terrorist" attacks when President Bush put American servicemen "in harm's way," Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) told a spillover crowd in a large hearing room.

Congressmen hesitate to openly oppose the invasion, she said, for "fear of being called unpatriotic."

Other congressmen attending to show support included Reps. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) and John Conyers (D-Mich.).

The administration is "adding $87 billion on top of the $67 billion already spent, and there is no end in sight," Conyers said.

McDermott had visited Walter Reed Army Hospital and said wounded soldiers are saying "this is just like Vietnam." McDermott is a psychiatrist.

"Our leaders say, 'We've got to go to war,' but they weren't going to war," said Nancy Lessin, a founder of Military Families Speak Out. There would be no "war of aggression against a sovereign country" if its assets were "olive oil," she said.

She read a letter from a military mother who said the invasion was "all in the name of oil," ending her comments in sobs. Her son was deployed in Iraq but has returned.

Jeri Reed of Norman, Okla., whose son is currently in Iraq, said the government is "unable to deliver food or water to the troops, or even their mail."

A mother wrote that her son reported soldiers were being killed because there was an insufficient supply of armored vests.

As of Sept. 11, 2003, 290 U.S. soldiers have died and more than 1,000 have been wounded since the beginning of military operations in Iraq, according to the Department of Defense.
