The Scene: 9:30 AM at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall, 6112 Montgomery Rd. in Pleasant Ridge. Victoria Wulsin is joined by retired General Wesley Clark for a rally and press conference.

Clark, the former presidential candidate and Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, will talk about the war in Iraq and the importance of electing a Democratic Congress that will conduct real oversight of the war.

Clark and Wulsin are joined by Tim Goodrich, executive director of the Iraqi Veterans for Progress, a political organization that advocates a new course for the war in Iraq. Iraqi Veterans for Progress has hired an veteran of the Iraq war as a full time field coordinator for the Wulsin for Congress campaign.

The room was ready at 9:25.

There was an overflow crowd. The fellow in the red shirt on the left by the big video
camera is from Channel 9 News. Click here for their web-story.

I carried my sign to the meeting, but could not take in inside.

Dr. Wulsin and General Clark arrived about 9:50.

We spoke, and I was granted a photo op.

I heard about the rally at the last minute, and had a 10:00 appointment, so I could not stay, but I've heard General Clark before and I know we are on the same page.

Notice:
Today's sign event page is dedicated to retired military officers who stand against the madness of the Iraq war.

More later,

Ray
