Well, if they're looking for "masssive"...

Iran is seeking volunteers to act as a massive human shield around Iran's nuclear reactor in case of a military attack against the facility.
About two weeks ago Iran announced its plans build more nuclear power plants with Russian help the in southern port city of Bushehr, ignoring US and Israeli concerns that by-products from the plants could be used to manufacture atomic bombs. The US and Israel strongly suspect Iran of seeking nuclear weapons, but Iran has consistently denied the charges.
The Committee for the Commemoration of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Campaign is organizing the human shield campaign to protect Bushehr reactor, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Wednesday.
According to a spokesman for the group, 25,000 people have already signed up to participate in the shield campaign, Army Radio reported.
Iranian President Mohammad Khatami continues to insist that Iran's nuclear program is geared only toward the production of electricity. Iran's Nuclear Energy Council has decided the country needs to produce 7,000 megawatts of electricity through nuclear power plants by 2021 to meet Iran's increasing electricity demands.
Khatami issued a "guarantee" not to seek atomic weapons, and warned Washington that it can't stabilize Iraq and Afghanistan without Teheran's help.
Iran began assembly of an "army of martyrs" in June, recruited by The Committee for the Commemoration of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Campaign. In the first week of its June campaign, officials of the group said 10,000 young volunteers registered for "martyrdom operations" against Israel and US forces in Iraq.
Iran has also issued threats in the past, including one in the past month, that it would destroy Israel's Dimona nuclear reactor if the Jewish state were to attack Iran's nuclear facilities.
"If Israel fires a missile into the Bushehr nuclear power plant, it has to say goodbye forever to its Dimona nuclear facility, where it produces and stockpiles nuclear weapons," said the deputy chief of the elite Revolutionary Guards, Brig.-Gen. Muhammad Baqer Zolqadr, in a statement a month ago.

I think we've found a new home for Alec Baldwin.
Some Patriot with a fatal disease and a GPS beacon care to volunteer?
Too bad for them - All the Peaceniks are Anti-Nuke! HA HA HA
Michael Moore should be able to cover the whole reactor fairly easily.
And the greater Tehran area.
Well, if they're looking for "masssive"...
We could get 25,000 with one strike?
I think that's too good a shot to pass up.
Oh, goody! A twofer (or more-fer)!
LOL...These volunteer human shields bring the term 'useful idiots' to a new level. I hope they can gather up a lot of them and get them in place in time for the fireworks.
Serendipity would be to hit the reactor with Moore covering it, there would be pig fat all over Iran. (apologies to swine)
Why young volunteers? Is it b/c anybody over, say, 23 is too smart, too clever or too in-the-know to (quote) volunteer (unquote)? Plus, a box of doughnuts says that, esp. when it comes to media shots, a whole lot of these human shields will be:
- Little more than children e.g. 12,14 year olds.
- Pretty...or at least attractive young girls. No Big Ethels here.
- Western young people. Some guys but plenty of blond haired, compassionate Caifornia type chicks.
The press will eat it up!
Oh, I answered my own question.
Never mind.
This one's my favorite ...
Big bang, destroyed nuke facility, and thousands Darwinized ???
You just can't do better for your Defense dollar than that. . . . (evil grin)
maybe a good place to test out the British Mk-1 Mod-0 Concrete Bombs!!! they are ballisticly correct 2000 to 5000 pound concrete units that will kill a reactor or anything else they hit
Quick. Print this into a flyer and pass it around the next Democrat/Leftist gathering! We'll do both Iran and the United States a favor by sending those annoying, mealy-mouthed pantywaists over there.
Even better, they'll be put out of our misery when (not if) we or Israel take out Iran's nuclear capability.
LOL! my thought exactly.
he has to iron his pants in the driveway.
