President Barack Obama, who once called the Afghan conflict a "war of necessity" but is now looking for an orderly way out, hosted the Nato summit in his home town of Chicago.
Thousands of protesters, some dressed as clowns and others bearing anti-war signs, with slogans "War = Debt, "Billions for jobs, not occupation" gathered in a lake-front park about two miles from the summit venue. A group of Iraq war veterans pledged to toss their medals over the security fence surrounding the summit site in a symbolic protest.
