Supporters of Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr have staged a mass demonstration in Baghdad in protest against plans to extend the US mandate in Iraq.

An estimated 50,000 protesters chanted slogans such as "Get out occupier!".

Iraqi and US negotiators drafted the deal after months of talks but it still needs approval from Iraq's government.

Under the agreement US troops would withdraw by 2011, and Iraq would have the right to prosecute Americans who commit crimes while off-duty.

Sadr has told Iraqis to reject the deal.

Watching on BBC, I believe there were way more than 50,000 people.

1. One word of Sadr and 50.000 hit the streets.

Its not hard to guess who is going to win the next election in Iraq.

2. Get out occupier ?

How very polite. I'll bet something got lost in translation unless they've not got an expression for fuck off.

3. Where are all the roses?

When will the war start to pay for itself?

Where are the WMD?

4. That's a good sign that they can mobilize a protest like that.

They'll have no trouble handling their own security once we get out.
