Protests Mark Presidential Inaugural (WISH-TV coverage)

[IndianaGreen]

On Monument Circle downtown, a few hundred anti-war protesters also gathered in a counter-inauguration rally. They held up anti-Bush posters and displayed a mosaic of the president made up of the faces of soldiers killed in Iraq.

The featured speaker was Andrew Vandenbergh, a former Marine who fought in Iraq who's now speaking out against the war.

“Our spy satellites and our far-reaching intelligence capabilities had identified their weapons production facilities. If we knew where they were why didn't we just tell the weapons inspectors so they could go find them and get this thing over with?” said Vandenbergh.

I will add something else that Andy Vandenbergh said, that the worse enemy is the apathy of the America people. People support the troops by putting up flags and putting magnetic ribbons on their cars, but that only serves to make Americans feel better about themselves, and does nothing for the troops in Iraq. If you want to support the troops, Andy said, we must bring them home now.
