The Birmingham rally at Kelly Ingram Park began with a march downtown, with some beating hand drums and others holding signs such as "G.W.B. is a W.M.D.," "Osama bin Forgotten" and "Stop Mad Cowboy Disease."

Presidents lie all the time," said David Gespass, chair of the Birmingham Peace Project, "but none with the consistency and shamelessness of this administration." Gespass predicted the U.S. will lose the war in Iraq. "This is not a war that can be won. As long as we occupy, there will be resistance."

Brandi Little, former Specialist in the U.S. Army during the Iraq war, gave teary antiwar testimony. Her army convoy partner was killed while the two drove to Baghdad. "What is the noble cause that he gave his life for?" she asked. "War is hell."
