Iraq Supporters to Rebut Anti-War Rallies
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050925/ap_on_re_us/war_rally

I cannot believe that the numbers at the "pro-war" ralley will even come close to the anti-war one.

It will be interesting if the media hypes this up, they sure didn't hype up the anti-war ralley

2. The first paragraph shows their bias
Military families and other defenders of the war in Iraq were claiming their turn to demonstrate, responding to a huge war protest with a rally of their own on the National Mall.

Why do they have to put it as military families? There were many military families at the march yesterday, but I didn't see any articles stating that our march was all about military families.

6. excellent point
that is why I wasn't so eager to commend them when they started doing their job with katrinia. They should have been doing their job reporting about Iraq all along, and they still are noticably absent

3. "claiming their turn"
The "America Supports You Freedom Walk" was just two weeks ago, and it's already been forgotten.

7. I sure hope they have enough portapotties.
I know they like to have about one per person at these events.

So fifteen should be plenty.

What kind of person is pro-war? I am an infantry soldier and I am strongly aganst war. These people make me :puke:
