You're taking away our freedoms. The Iraqi people aren't freer, they're much worse off than before you meddled in their country.
You should withdraw from Iraq along will all occupation forces. The Americans have no reason to stay there, and the Italians even less,
This isn't about politics. It's about what is good for America and what's best for our security and how far this president has taken us away from both.
So you're the little woman who stopped the Iraq war.
That's why they don't talk about an exit strategy. They don't intend on exiting.

This Camp Casey movement is bigger than me. It's growing, it's bigger than any of us.
They don't plan on ever bringing troops home,
They don't have what I like to call skin in the game, but we are all affected.
We are here ... to show our government, to show our media, to show America that we mean business, and we're not going home until every last one of our troops is home.
We're here to say that the killing has to stop and we're not going away. We want people to be held accountable and just because someone's president of the United States, it doesn't guarantee them immunity from accountability.
We're here to energize most of the people in America who are with us.
President Bush says we're safer fighting them there than over here. Why are we safer because 120,000 civilians are dead? What makes their babies less precious than ours?
That's too much to ask of anybody to adjust to that. But now, they have to adjust to the fact that their mom is always gone. But they know that they are sacrificing and we are sacrificing to bring the troops home and to make sure it never happens again.
