Thousands of followers of anti-American cleric Moqtada al-Sadr took to the streets on Saturday in a demonstration against a pact that would allow U.S. forces to stay in Iraq for three more years.

Marchers waved Iraqi flags and chanted “Yes, yes Iraq! No, no to the occupation!”

A white-turbaned cleric read out what he described as a letter from Sadr calling on parliament to vote down the pact.

“I reject and condemn the continuation of the presence of the occupation force, and its bases on our beloved land,” the letter said, calling the pact “shameful for Iraq.”

Why do we let Bush sign these things? It is illegal for him to sign anything without the approval of congress and without transparency. We need to do something about all these things that he's put into action or else it won't matter who we elect into office, we'll be in Iraq for the next hundred years and more of our people will die over there for the greed and pride of some evil people.
