2000 Anti-War/Bush Protesters in Salt Lake City

KUTV- CBS Salt Lake: Bush spoke to more than 6,000 people at the annual convention of the Vets of Foreign Wars, while three blocks away about 2,000 people gathered to protest Bush administration policies and the war in Iraq. Gold Star Families for Peace, Veterans for Peace, and Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson headlined the protest (see his great speech here). Anderson said: "The message we want to send is that we are behind our troops, we care very much about our troops. That if their lives are going to be put on the line, they are going to be put in harm's way, that we're told the truth and our nation hasn't been told the truth. Those who take a stand ... who stand up to deceit by our govt. Those are true patriots. You are true patriots." KSL- NBC Salt Lake: George Muller of Salt Lake, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who was dressed in desert fatigues said: "It's like Vietnam all over again, and I opposed that too. That's what it's going to take -- veterans groups, veterans and mothers who have lost kids speaking out." Amen, I couldn't agree more & I pray that this is the beginning of Bush's end. Here is an assortment of videos of the protest, courtesy of KUTV-CBS.
