Iraqis Stage Massive Anti-US Protest
------------------------------------



On the same day Obama requested millions more for war, tens of thousands
of Iraqis rallied against the US occupation at a protest marking the
six-year anniversary of the fall of Baghdad. Hazem al-Araji of the Sadr
movement said opposition to the occupation unites differing Iraqi
factions.

Hazem al-Araji: “Those million people came from Iraq to express just one
opinion that is calling for the US troops to withdraw from Iraq. They
are Arabs, Kurds, Sunnis and Shia. They came after the call of Sayyid
Muqtada al-Sadr
to say ‘No! No to America.’”
