Human Shields moving towards Baghd"e"ad

American and European peace activists wrapped their arms around posts on a bridge over the Tigris River on Thursday, symbolizing their intent to act as human shields in any U.S. war on Iraq. The 14 activists, mostly from Italy, were one of the first groups here using the "shield" title, which suggests they might place their bodies at potential targets to deter bombing. But they acknowledged their mission was only a gesture meant to try to deter an invasion to topple Saddam Hussein.
Katherina Soederholm, front right, a Norwegian, and other members of the 'human shield' group, which includes Americans, Britons, Australians, Norwegians, Greeks, Swiss and Turks, speak to journalists in Ankara on Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2003, before their departure for the Turkey-Syrian border enroute to Baghdad. Iraq granted visas to some 65 ``human shields'' traveling to the country to protest a possible U.S.-led war, a group member said Tuesday.
Question: Being that UBL has publicly declared his desire to kill millions of Americans and is prompting muslims to do as much why are these hypocritical pu$$y's not positioning themselves as human shields in America??!!
I'm ashamed to say my fore fathers came from Italy..but then again they had enough sense to get on the boat and get the hell out!

Let's hope they also find a safe place for the boxes and boxes of French and German Oil and Weaponry Contracts in and around Baghdad.

Is there anyway we can give them a location to go to that would have a high probability of being bombed? They really need a good bombing.

I really want to have a live video feed of them when they realize that the U.S. isn't kidding about Iraq, when the very first cruise missile or bomb lands a block away...and the bombing gets closer. At what point do you think that these pampered college liberals will have the "Oh S*%T!" look on their faces?

Apparently the opportunity to prove your moral superiority on a world stage is too tempting to resist for some morons.

Has anybody noticed that NO ONE IS TRYING TO STOP THESE YAHOOS?! Yup. That means human shields won't stop bombs!
I heard one of them had brought a St Bernard with her. Does that mean PETA will come out against the Anti-war movement for endangering animals?
