He apparently said the London protesters were "supporting the terrorists". In Iraq, we are in a war with the terrorists, yes? I mean, you do admit that those who fight by filling ambulances with explosives and ramming them into Red Crescent headquarters are terrorists, don't you? These "anti-war" protesters call these terrorists "patriotic Iraqi resistance" and want us to bug out of Iraq - thus giving the victory to whoever of the Ba'athists, jihadists, Shia and Kurdish militia win the ensuing civil war. I think this can fairly enough be called "supporting the terrorists". It doesn't strike me as any kind of wild rhetorical stretch. We are in a war with the terrorists - and the so-called "anti-war" protesters are rooting for the terrorists to win. Because otherwise, they would have to root for George Bush to win, and they wouldn't do that under any circumstance.
