YouTube article from Tacoma news of the protest at the port.

I ask this question to those who were at the demonstration;

Is stopping the armor vehicles being sent over to Iraq to better protect our troops really a positive sign in supporting the troops, not the mission ?

1. Some Civil Disobedience is Better than None!!!
I just watched "the Ground Truth" last night. Many of our soldiers have been duped and lied to. Many in the National Guard have gone through the "Back Door Draft". Many have already gone through hell to get their benefits. Can you imagine??? It is mind boggling the bullshit they must have to go through to get benefits! So while it is tragic that they were protesting some vehicles, I am freaking THRILLED there were 200 people there. I wish there had been 2000 people there to bring attention to the injustice of this occupation.
Innocent people, Iraqis, are dying every day, thanks to George W Bush and the PNAC chicken hawks. But for the grace of God, they could be you and I, your kids, your brothers and sisters, your dad, your neighborhood.
This occupation is about Power and Oil. It was never about "Democracy" or "Freedom". It's tragic that many Americans still support Bush. How can they? He lied to the American people about Everything leading up to this war, and he knew he was lying from the beginning.
Impeach NOW!!!!!
