American strike in Iraq prompts anti-war protests in U.S. cities

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Groups of protesters took to the streets in Washington and other U.S. cities on Saturday to condemn the air strike in Iraq ordered by President Donald Trump that killed Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani and Trump's decision to send about 3,000 more troops to the Middle East.

"No justice, no peace. U.S. out of the Middle East," hundreds of demonstrators chanted outside the White House before marching to the Trump International Hotel a few blocks away.

Similar protests were held in New York, Chicago and other cities. Organizers at Code Pink, a women-led anti-war group, said protests were scheduled on Saturday in numerous U.S. cities and towns.

Protesters in Washington held signs that read "No war or sanctions on Iran!" and "U.S. troops out of Iraq!"

War against Iran would strengthen ISIS, a major terrorist organization. We need to use a new phrase: “No War for ISIS!” It might be more effective than “No War for Oil,” as selfish Bush supporters probably thought the war would lower gas prices for them. If Trump wants to accuse us of being pro-Iran, we can make him look like an ally of ISIS.

Maybe, Democrats should make he phrase “No War for ISIS,” viral?
