Hundreds of Thousands of Iraqis Said "GO OUT"

Carrying banners that read "Go Out" and "Leave Our Country," marchers hit the streets early Saturday, blocking roads and causing traffic jams around the capital. Most of the protesters came from the Baghdad slum of Sadr City, but busloads arrived from Kut, Amarah, Baqubah and other cities. Some estimates put the number of protesters at 300,000.

Most of the demonstrators in Baghdad were Shias loyal to the young cleric Moqtada Al Sadr. But coordinated protests seeking an end to the American presence also took place in the Sunni strongholds of Ramadi and Baiji.
