What happened with Rummy's party at the Pentagon today?

[Catshrink]

I haven't seen anything about it. Was it a flop?

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. the press made out like it was about 10.000 people

but the pictures showed a lot less. EVeryone wearing the same tee shirt. European press showed its distain, making sure its readers knew that the participants were pre-screened. Lots of folks appeared to be mad that Bushco tried to make the link between 9/11 and Iraq. I don't know how anyone could be that impressed.

2. 3,000-4,000 at most, mostly FReepers and their ignorant ilk

Pretty pathetic.

3. Vid Clip

Freedom Walk

6. Thanks tx..

Hopefully the numbers on Sept 24th will be a little higher

[jaxx]

7. A walk for Americans....and heavily censored

The bush adm in a nutshell. Drink the kool-aid or wait 5 days for water.

12. BRAVO!!

:applause:

8. Compared to NYC (2X) this is pathetic, even with the forced military

presence.

We could have filled the screen for hours.

4. They had a "pity party" for themselves on Wednesday night - day

three of the flood. "WHY ARE YOU PAyin so much attention to the victims in New Orleans and not feeling our pain". They must be partied out!

[RallyInDC]

5. they looked so down and forlorn....

maybe rumsfeld woke up and realized "I'm a war criminal.....well Ive done bad things, i better live up the rum and ginny while I can....."

[crikkett]

13. tell me more!! what pity party?

n't

[applegrove]

16. All day Pentagon officials were tell the CNN Pentagon reporter

that they were having a hard time. That people were feeling so sorry for the Katrina victims and not for them. It was pretty sad.

9. i read somewhere yesterday that fed workers were commanded to

attend..yes they were forcing federal dc workers to attend..guess they anticipated a failure of epic proportions!!

[magnolia]

10. I flipped past CSPAN...

...and caught a few minutes. No way were there 10,000. Someone here said that it was mostly employees of Lockheed Martin.

There were definitely 10,000 people in Utah to see the Dalai Lama.

[otohara]

17. 10,000 My ASS

They fudge the numbers on everything

[rocktivity]

11. So THAT'S what "freedom on the march" looks like!

:eyes:

[soup]

15. Scary, isn't it?

Then again, pitiful would probably be a better word.

registration, searches, fences, media kept separate. Let freedom reign.

[Initech]

14. I bet this was a HUGE disaster.

And at the very least, they could have given the poor march attendees a better musical act than Clint Black.
