Do you hear that George? The Anti-War Drumbeat is getting louder!

Cities don't make foreign policy.

There's a lot of nervousness in those congressional hills.

Tom Andrews, national director of Win Without War and a former congressmanBut that hasn't stopped dozens of towns from Berkeley, Calif., to Chicago to Cambridge, Mass., from passing resolutions calling for withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

The resolutions typically note the growing U.S. military death toll, now more than 2,100, as well as the financial burden, approaching a quarter-trillion dollars. The Chicago City Council calculated it could pay more than 31,000 teachers for a year with its annual share of the war cost.

It's part of what polls indicate and social observers say is a growing antiwar sentiment among Americans now exhausted from the war, if not philosophically against it.

"I follow the news, and it's painful," said Michigan resident Deborah Regal, a member of the antiwar group Military Families Speak Out and the mother of a Marine in Iraq. "It just grinds you down to the point where you're very conscious of every day that passes because you know what the troops are going through."

Are these people anti-american? Are they not patriotic? I think that we know the answer.

How many more of our brave soldiers have to die before we hold this administration accountable and demand that they get us out of there right now? How many lives is enough?

Murtha is right. Our troops are the focus of these insurgents and the reason for most of the unrest. There is really no way to stop the civil war that is coming. All we can do at this point is to sacrifice more of our young people, and that is just flat criminal knowing what we know now about the lies that this administratin told us to get us there in the first place.
