BOISE, Idaho

Iraq war opponents say President Bush shouldn't expect any respite from protest by going to a resort in red-state Idaho.

At a rally in Boise, one demonstrator (actually the woman's son is Iraq right now) declared, "He's going to find a Cindy Sheehan in every community across the United States."

In Boise, demonstrators set up a memorial to the more than 18-hundred U-S troops who've died in Iraq -- rows of white wooden crosses in a park next to the Idaho state capital.

Bush has been relaxing today at a resort in the Rockies. He told reporters those who seek an immediate pullout from Iraq would weaken America.

However, Melanie House, whose Navy husband was killed in Iraq in January, says Bush owes her and others an explanation of what the mission is in Iraq. She says, "I want to know why my husband had to die."

11. I am so sad that this is true. I mean happy we have people speaking out

but sad that so many of them have lost a loved one or are in danger of losing one to Bu$h.

12. Not just a Cindy Sheehan

but millions like me, who can't help but cry when we consider the human toll of this cluster@()U*k of a war. Millions like me who won't stand by quietly and watch thousands of Gold Star families be Swift Boated in our local press outlets.

I have three words for these morans: Bring. It. ON.

15. Hey George!

Come on up to beautifully red upstate New York. Ask the Clintons; Skaneateles is absolutely beautiful this time of year, the wine is divine, and the protesters are all down in Cornell, Colgate, Hamilton, and Syracuse getting ready for the start of the fall semester. No way they'll have the time to drive up to harass your chimpy ass. Really. You can believe me. Seriously. Cross my heart and hope to...HEY! LEGGO OF ME! NO I'M NOT GOING FOR A RIDE WITH YOU GUYS. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
