Americans Against Escalation in Iraq plan to demonstrate when Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a presidential candidate, arrives for a fundraiser Tuesday.
McCain supported escalation of the war long beg before the current surge.
"We can send a strong message that Ohioans don’t want this policy to continue, and we're not going to accept his visit in silence," says Ben Elmgren, an organizer with Americans Against Escalation in Iraq. "The Bush-McCain Middle East strategy has to be stopped."
Anti-war activists plan to meet at 4 p.m. Tuesday at the public parking lot across from Lunken Airport. Organizers will provide signs and water but recommend taking lawn chairs. For more information, contact Elmgren at 513-407-9058 or ohio2@iraqsummer.org.

Well huh... are the activists getty lazy or what? Lawn chairs? But I'd take one if I went. Damn, I'm getting old!

Looking at the title of the thread, my first thought was that Hillary Clinton was coming to town.

John says that he was only trying to protect the U.S. from Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction. What's wrong with that?
Personally, I think we should invade every country that possesses weapons that can kill "mass" numbers of people. We should be all done around the year 2525.
Women, start breeding tomorrow's soldiers today!

Marilyn, either you didn't read past my first paragraph, or you need a crash course on sarcasm.

Sorry, Action. Sometimes the written word can't convey language as well as a face-to-face. Of course I'm not gonna admit I don't understand sarcasm.
It's not you, it's me!
