Quite a conundrum, huh? Code Pink has to protest the Obama Administration’s march to war in Iraq, you know, after years of trying not to alienate liberals.<\/p>\n

Dear Jonn,<\/p>\n

Yesterday CODEPINK held a rally at the White House calling on President Obama to not intervene militarily in Iraq. We were joined by members from Veterans for Peace, the ANSWER Coalition, Iraq Veterans Against the War, and more. Check out pictures from the event here.<\/p>\n

Join us on Saturday, June 21, 1:00 p.m. in front of the White House for an even bigger rally to call for no U.S. military intervention in Iraq!<\/p>\n

President Obama stated on Friday that he will not send US troops to Iraq, however now he is sending 275 U.S. forces to Iraq for embassy security. He is also “exploring other options.” Those options clearly include air strikes, increased weapons shipments, and there are ominous reports that the US is moving an aircraft carrier into the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n

Tell President Obama: No U.S. military intervention in Iraq!<\/p>\n

We have watched over the last 12 years how the citizens of Iraq have been terrorized, murdered and turned into refugees. Once again, we are seeing hundreds of thousands of innocent people fleeing for their lives. The people of Iraq need peace, reconciliation, development and a truly representative government free of US and other foreign interests.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, being careful not to be labeled racists, they have a caricature of John McCain instead of the President – you know, even though McCain has nothing to do with sending troops to Iraq;<\/p>\n

The Iraq Veterans Against the War, you know, those guys who have never been to Iraq, but they like to wear those cool T-shirts that say they have been to Iraq, came out of the shadows, too.<\/p>\n

The usual huge crowd that Code Pink draws is present. I guess that since Bush left the White House some of them had to go out and find jobs.<\/p>\n

Irony. You can’t see it.<\/p>\n

\"Code<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Nice to see all of the usual suspects back together again, huh?<\/p>\n
