CRAWFORD — Approximately 7,000 demonstrators temporarily inhabited Crawford Saturday as two pro-American factions gathered in a variety of venues to express support for troops in Iraq.


The difference, however, was how the groups defined support.

On the parking lot of Crawford High School’s Pirate Field, Howard Kaloogian, founder of Move America Forward, said that Sheehan’s anti-war protest feeds the Iraq insurgency. “The terrorists that are watching Cindy Sheehan’s protest believe that this is something that might topple the current administration.” he said.

“Yellow ribbons are tied around trees, telephone poles, and tent poles throughout this area. Singing is going on. A lot of people are leading dogs around. A huge American flag is hanging from a type of crane and it has pictures and little signs all over it. It is about 75 feet tall. There are many red, white, and blue balloons and banners. The media is out in full force.”

Several bus loads of anti-war demonstrators journeyed to Camp Casey II during the day, where a large tent-like pavilion had been set up for about a week. An estimated 3,000 people ventured to this camp during the day, most staying to hear speeches and music.

4. Its sad to me though....

Its sad but unsurprising to see the republicans of Texas be so badly misinformed. All of the younger ones seem to be the loudest but don't realize that their colleagues across the aisle, like General Thomas served in this war and paid the price.

They also are not seeing the reality here, these servicemen and women being killed for lies. They think this will "move america forward" which in truth, it is moving america backward. Why can't someone get out and educate the schools all over this city, it needs to be done.
