Four members of the anti-war group Code Pink were arrested outside the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) Thursday afternoon, following an announcement that they would seek to take over the office.
The group’s members had planned to hold a symbolic “Pin the war on the Donkey” demonstration at Pelosi’s office to show their frustration with the Democratic leadership’s inaction on ending the war in Iraq.

However, Capitol Police prevented the taping of a drawn donkey to the wall.

Code Pink members were crying outside Pelosi’s office. When asked why, Rae Abileah, 24, said she was crying out of “outrage that this is all we can get from the Democrats,” referring to the Iraq supplemental funding bill, scheduled for a vote Friday.

“We’re just heartbroken that Nancy Pelosi has decided to keep funding George Bush’s war, and now the war belongs to the Democrats as well as the Republicans,” said Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin. “We thought we were going to get a change when they came into power.” http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/anti-war-protesters-arrested-at-pelosis-office-2007-03-22.html

Yeah, they definitely had to put a stop to that sit-in stuff. I think it might be a route to civil disobedience spreading widely.

"Pin the war on the donkey" is pretty clever, though.

The limits in the Iraqi supplemental funding bill are important and are infuriating the administration; and the whittling away at administration personnel over the federal attorney firings is precipitating a constitutional crisis; so I think the Dems are doing pretty good at stopping the war. Bush has definitely dug in, so it's a real problem to shake him loose. The Dems are escalating and wearing him down, hopefully. I'm willing to be patient a few more months and see what the Dems accomplish. They know why we voted them in.

It's certainly time to get out or Iraq, and past time.

Seriously, they were trespassing.

And what the Democrats are trying to do is end the war in such a way that makes them look good and at the same time makes Bush look bad. All they have to do is cut the funding to the war. That's all it takes, but that makes them look bad, so instead, they use underhanded tactics and attempt to usurp the President's Constitutional powers.
