Campaign Wants Troops Home From Iraq - Yahoo/AP - Rate This!

The campaign's name is a twist on President Bush (news - web sites)'s comment at a July news conference. Responding to attacks on U.S. forces, Bush taunted: "Bring 'em on."

The utterance was criticized as an encouragement for violence against American troops.

Set up as a resource for military members while sending a political message, the campaign was initiated by groups including Military Families Speak Out and Veterans for Peace. It unites the anti-war crowd with those increasingly disenchanted with the U.S. occupation.

With no weapons of mass destruction yet found and steady reports of American troop deaths, the campaign has received more support from military families who initially backed the war, but are now asking why their country went there in the first place, said Charley Richardson, whose Marine son returned from Iraq in May.
