How about slogans like Leftists Prolong War by Alienating Potential Supporters

Leftists = Lack of Strategy

I like the way Carrol thinks. It's clean and it has integrity. Kudos to Doug too for not dragging this on.

How about condemning this war as a premeditated imperialist aggression? I'm not advocating signs saying "9-11 = Gulf of Tonkin" ...yet. But these could be a starter: "Stop murdering babies for oil", "Bush and Cheney kill for oil", "Stop Oil War II now", or a more patriotic "Bush and Cheney buy oil with US lives" Or after that Figaro story even one like "Osama = CIA".

Carrol's right, we can't stop the crime being committed at this moment, but that shouldn't stop us from condemning it for what it is.
