Meanwhile, relatives of U.S. troops visiting Iraq pressed their agenda to meet with leaders of the occupation authority, hoping to voice their opposition to the U.S.-led occupation. One mother held back tears while looking at U.S. soldiers guarding the entrance of the Habbaniyah military base in Baghdad. "They are so young. This is not for them. ... They look just like my boy," said Annabelle Valencia, whose daughter, 24, and son, 22, are both based in Iraq.

This is the high school teaching-assistant lady from Tucson who represents the leftwing Moveon(sp) organization. Her son was just home on leave, and her daughter is apparently estranged from her (hasn't seen in three years). Maybe she should talk to some Iraqi parents as to whether THEY want the US troops out right now.

I gave the wrong name of the supporting organization -- not MoveOn but Global Exchange from San Francisco. FR story link below:
