These "anti-war" protesters call these terrorists "patriotic Iraqi resistance" and want us to bug out of Iraq

Wow, are you misled. The more typical view is the quote at the bottom saying it's Bush who needs terrorism, not the protesters. Without terrorism Bush has nothing, and would lose the next election. Any protester who wishes Bush out of office wishes for peace, not terrorism.

The news shows protesters tend to despise Bush's preemptive unilateral policy, along with personal disregard. About 1/3rd of Britons consider Bush to be "dumb". But they are not anti-American -- 2/3rds are pro-American, even if they are anti-Bush.

It's not much different today than back in Feb

"...I don't think it's about terrorism... I think George Bush needs Saddam Hussein. ... I just don't think it's about terrorism. If it was about terrorism, then whatever happened to Osama bin Laden?"

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.

You're just being too "black and white" Nadine. Too "simplistic."
