Pentagon Protest Photos! Hundreds Were There! And Cindy Too!
Perhaps thousands, it is hard to tell exactly how many.

:applause:



Hundreds of protesters cross a footbridge on their way to the Pentagon to seek an audience with US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld during a protest in Washington, DC marking the third anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq. US President George W. Bush took aim at critics who say his upbeat forecasts for that country are out of touch with the bloody reality.(AFP/Getty Images/Win McNamee)

8. Actually I wasn't there
It looks like several folks thought I was, but not this time around...

Sorry for the confusion!

As for my secret identity, I could tell you, but then...well, you know how it goes ;)

11. I wish! The rallies I went to Sunday were rather boring and uneventful
:hi:

I am starting to toy with the idea of organizing some real resistence locally...it was so easy with the folks that organized the one in DC last Sept, I really want to find folks to work with around here who have the same (very peaceful and mellow) mentality.

I'm protesting about 4 evenings a week lately, so I probably won't be on DU much these days, except occasional lurking at work...

But you know where to find me ;)

3. Thank you for those!
I was gonna go, but ultimately couldn't get out of North Carolina and my arthritis was acting up. I do wish I could have added to the number, but those are great pics.
