Washington - More than 100,000 protesters flooded Washington on Saturday to stage dual demonstrations against the United States-led war in Iraq and economic globalisation, before coming together to demand President George Bush bring troops home.

"We'll be the checks and balances on this out-of-control criminal government," Sheehan, who has become the anti-war movement's best-known face, told the group gathered at the Ellipse, a park behind the White House.

In Los Angeles, about 15 000 people protested peacefully, while thousands more marched in San Francisco and in London urging an end to military action in Iraq nearly 30 months after an invasion ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. The crowds in Washington swelled through the day, and by late afternoon organisers of the anti-war demonstration said 300 000 people had assembled; exceeding an anticipated 100 000. Washington police declined to comment on the size of the rally.

"People join the military to defend their country, not lies," said Adam Reuter, a 22-year-old Georgia resident who was given a medical discharge from the Army four months ago.

2. Yep, that's why I flagged it as such...

It's a pretty "non-U.S. MSM" headline: "Marchers slam Bush in epic anti-war rally"...dead giveaway.
