Portland City Council passes 5-0 resolution to pull troops from Iraq because they don’t like the war. Oh, and we need to pull out because there will be peace. Here’s a copy of the resolution ghost written for Randy by the anti war folks.
We heard person after person testify that, among other things,
*only the poor serve in the military
*our military members are kinda dumb
*that we’re worse than Saddam Hussein’s regime
*that we’re responsible for the insurgency
*that more people are dead because of us
*that the President ‘lied us’ into the war
*recruiters lie
*that GW said Iraq was building nuclear weapons (which belies the whole Bush doctrine, but hey, why let facts get in the way of a good talking point?)
Thanks to Matthew for the following photos for the blog. You’re awesome.

Kid with a tee shirt on his head testifies that recruiters are liars and he’s so glad he wasn’t forced to go into the military. He apparently wasn’t paying attention to the part about it being a volunteer army.
