NAJAF, Iraq — The office of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr called Thursday for a "million-strong" turnout for an anti-American demonstration next week to mark the fifth anniversary of the capture of Baghdad by invading U.S. troops.

The statement said protesters should head to the Shiite holy city of Najaf south of Baghdad waving Iraqi flags "to cement the unity of Iraq and demand its independence." It called on demonstrators to "raise your voices high in the skies of Iraq against the oppressing occupier," a term the Sadrists use to describe U.S.-led forces.

The demonstration is to mark the anniversary of the entrance of invading U.S. troops to Baghdad on April 9, 2003.

Perhaps we should mirror their march over here against the America INC who has used US to hide behind.
this is Not OUR War, these are NOT OUR interests, these are NOT OUR Tactics. this is NOT OUR GOV"T, this is the 'Shadow Gov't ' who has been operating for Decades. The pinnacle of their Stratedgy was Achieved on 9/11 when they reached th emindset which would propell their agedna forward. If you are Pissed about the way WE are being handled, consider those they've been doing it to for Decades, along with the 'royality' that laid out the Red Carpet for them to invade and occupy these oil Reach countries.
I have no fearof those they Yell at me to Fear- I Fear those who are Proclaiming the message of Fear!

Purple Girl; Do not fear them fight them in every way that you can think of. research and spread the truth with proof. E- mails work extremely well tell ten people that you know and have them tell ten people and before you know it millions will know. BUT do not remain silent.
