Wasn't there a huge protest march in Iraq this weekend?
Yahoo news had this ONE photo. I looked around everywhere and see almost no mention of it anywhere. Granted it is al-Sadr (god knows he has enough of our money to stage such an event) so it's not like I mean to support him in any way but this wasn't news??? Oh I see we signed the security pact so no need to talk about a protest in the streets huh? Nah it's more important what the suits have agreed upon amongst themselves.

Members of the Sadr Movement protest the US presence in Iraq during a demonstration in Baghdad last month. Followers of anti-American Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr were to make a bid Monday to kill a controversial Iraq-US military pact passed by the Iraqi cabinet by trying to block it in parliament.
