"Joining Gates on the panel was John Negroponte, outgoing Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff Peter Pace, and about two dozen Code Pink nutters, who
couldn't, it seems, miss this for the world. If there's one thing you have to
give them credit for, it's attendance. The Code Pink gals have shown up at more
government public meetings as well as think tank meetings than most politicians
over the last few months. In fact, the only place they weren't was at Columbia
University this week. If only these ladies dogged the Iranian
terrorist-in-chief, chanting for him to get out of Iraq, as fervently as they do
to U.S. officials and realist pundits on the war, they actually might have
served a useful purpose in reducing the propaganda gains Ahmadinejad made while
in America this week. "
That would have been a bold step, and a clear message that they are concerned about the fate of Iraq. That they want the war to end, not only American troops taken out of the war. It also would have read as a message to Iran, that the movement against the war, is not a movement to support Iran. It is a shame they didn't do it.
