Iraq Protesters Demand Expulsion Of U.S. Troops

CNN: Hundreds of thousands protest US troop presence in Iraq

Baghdad, Iraq (CNN)Hundreds of thousands of protesters marched through Baghdad on Friday calling for US troops to leave Iraq, heeding the call of powerful Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr who called for a "Million Man March."

Families and children held aloft signs that read "no, no to America" and "no, no to occupation" amid a sea of Iraqi flags. A heavy security presence surrounded the path of the march, as well as the Green Zone which houses the US embassy.
