Angry Soldiers
Posted by The Editors | 10:50 PM
During the Mothers Opposing Bush ad launch at the Tribeca Film Center Wednesday, journalists and activists - and MOB leaders themselves - were treated to a surprise appearance by a newly-created anti-war group. Rob Sarra, a Marine veteran of the war in Iraq, told attendees that he and a handful of others formed Iraq Veterans Against the War, a nonprofit "committed to saving lives and ending the violence in Iraq by an immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces."
Sarra said the group, which numbered eight during the Democratic National Convention, now has 40 members and is still growing. "There are terrorists in [Iraq] now," Sarra said. "President Bush lied to us. Period." -- From Meg Kinnard, NationalJournal.com
