SCOTTSDALE - It was a very small army that protested the Iraq war Friday outside the Scottsdale offices of U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth.

Only two peace activists stood near Raintree Drive and Northsight Boulevard, holding anti-war posters for passing cars to see.

The protest, part of a national campaign to call attention to the human cost of the war, urged Hayworth, R-Ariz., to support legislation reducing the U.S. troop presence in Iraq.

"The ways of peace are not bombings and breaking into houses and scaring little children and families," said Judy Whitehouse, 63, of Phoenix, adding that pulling troops out of Iraq would force Iraqis to work together in building a society.

Linn Russell, 56, of Scottsdale, said the war is being mismanaged and shows President Bush is unqualified.

"I feel he's a leader who has failed to lead us in moments of crisis and is leading us in the wrong direction politically," Russell said.

Hayworth was not at his office.

Ha Ha!

These losers never have any solid arguements either! They always spew the same idiotic babble when they get in front of a news camera!

Bush Lied!

Illegal war!

Fuck! Come up with something half way rational, and I'd give these genetic defects a listen.

It saddens me, because people dont understand the Time For Peace will only come after the time for war.
I just dont think they really understand the nature of our enemy.

So when they say there were no Iraqi ties to Al Quaeda, my house plumbing starts leaking?

Why is it that I never see any attractive women at anti-war/anti-Bush/anti-America protests?

Maybe that's the paradox... they are pissed off at the world because they are ugly so they have to vent that anger through protests and hate for their country.

I think I'm on to something here...

Liberals tend to be ugly. I've noticed the same thing. They get these wrinkled old hags to interview on TV and then they show the conservative babes and they tend to be way better looking.

just sayin'

I keep an open mind about such things, and am not unduly wedded to any particular opinion about our nation's festivities over there in Iraq, but.....

All of the "peace protesters" from whatever era have one thing in common; mindless drivel.

Didn't hear many complaints from that quarter when Mr. Clinton decided to bomb Serbia. I bet they would have screamed bloody murder if it was a Republican President who did that. But it wasn't. And Serbians are white.

Face it. Peace protesters are not "anti-war". They are anti-Western civilization.

Considering the size of their asses, I would say you likely had 3.5 protestors, and not just two.

Peace time is for resting up before the next war. The old Strategic Air Command motto: Peace is out profession, War is just our hobby! All that sand over there would make a real pretty green glass ashtray!
