Ah, yes. Maxine Waters. That Castro-loving Clintonista, libtard fruitcake extraordinaire... babbling peacnik pacifist, textbook talking point bullshit.

Congresswoman hosts anti-war rally in LA

Los Angeles - U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters led a rally Saturday calling for the United States to withdraw from Iraq, where attendees tried to raise awareness of documents they said raised questions about the justification for the war.

Waters said many of those in attendance, including veterans, relatives of soldiers, and civil rights activists, "have not had an opportunity to voice their opinions" about the war.

Several attendees staged simultaneous calls to local reporters to complain about what they said was a lack of public awareness about the so-called "Downing Street memos" — leaked minutes of a July 23, 2002, meeting between British Prime Minister Tony Blair and top government officials at his Downing Street office.

The rally was held to coincide with the third anniversary of the meeting.

According to the meeting minutes, Sir Richard Dearlove, then chief of Britain's intelligence service, said the White House viewed military action against Saddam Hussein as inevitable following the Sept. 11 attacks.

Blair has said the memos paint a distorted picture, and has insisted that the Iraq war was not predetermined by the United States.
