Retired General Raps Rep. Baird's War Stance

VANCOUVER -- Retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Robert Gard presided over an anti-war rally Thursday night that sometimes took on the trappings of a spiritual revival.

No one shouted "amen," but Gard's criticisms of U.S. Rep. Brian Baird's support for President Bush's troop increase in Iraq yielded several "yeahs." And Gard's condemnation of the president drew a standing ovation.

Gard appeared in the Fort Vancouver High School auditorium where Baird, D-Wash., faced about 550 anti-war activists three weeks ago.
