Colonel Boylan: Pig Make Up Artist Extraordinaire
There was a big anti-American demonstration today in the Iraqi city of Najaf. Firebrand cleric Moqtada al Sadr brought his peeps to the street. According to the AP: here


Tens of thousands of Shiites-a sea of women in black abayas and men waving Iraqi flags-rallied Monday to demand that U.S. forces leave their country. Some ripped apart American flags and tromped across a Stars and Stripes rug.

The AP also reported that a U.S. military mouthpiece in Iraq, Col. Steven Boylan, an aide to Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S. commander in Iraq:

praised the peaceful demonstration and said Iraqis "could not have done this four years ago.

Are you kidding me? Saddam would not have allowed anti-U.S. protests calling for the U.S. to get out of Iraq? I don't think so. That's one pig you can't put lipstick on.
