Just after the sixth anniversary of September 11, the Evil
Leftist group, ANSWER, will organize a protest against the Iraq War in Washington, DC. A Gathering of Eagles is planning to counter
their protest, just as they did last spring.
Which was a highly impressive counter-protest, I might add.
And now, a few words from Michelle Malkin:
Earlier this year, I reported on a new, nonpartisan movement
that arose to challenge the surrender lobby. On a bitter cold weekend in March,
the Gathering of Eagles brought together veterans, families of active-duty
servicemen and servicewomen, Rolling Thunder members, military bloggers and
their grass-roots supporters to raise their pro-troops, pro-mission voices. I
interviewed Eagles who flew in from San Francisco, rode motorcycles south from
Georgia, drove all night from Boston, and trekked in caravans from coast to
coast to answer ANSWER. At the crack of dawn, facing biting winds and
contemptuous taunts, tens of thousands of Eagles stood guard over war memorials
threatened by anti-war anarchists and lined the streets where bongo
drum-beating retreatists marched.
The Gathering of Eagles turnout was unprecedented. The Cindy
Sheehanistas and socialist rabble-rousers had never been met and matched with
such force. Now, the Eagles are organizing a return to Washington at a historic moment in the
global war against jihad. Gen. David Petraeus, top commander in Iraq, and U.S.
Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker are expected to testify before the Senate on
Sept. 11. Yes, that Sept. 11. Four days later, Sept. 15, is the deadline for
the president to submit reports to Congress on how Iraq is meeting benchmarks for
progress since the troop surge was announced in January.

If you can’t be there, support them financially or by
spreading the word to your fellow bloggers, friends, family, etc.
