I hope that photo is real. It almost looks like it's been Photoshopped.

It looks like they are using an abandoned "human shields" banner that has been graffitied.

This sign was reported stolen from the human shield wankers and appropriatly added to for the march around the square.
Got to love the ingenuity and resourcefullness of these guys.

The lefties think that children should be imprisoned by the State, and not set free as were the kids in Basra. The last thing the left wants is for children to be raised by their own parents.Well said.

I'm sure the marine was secretly thinking how much he would like to introduce this "human shield wanker" to the butt of his weapon, as the "Wanker" isn't worth wasting a round.

I LOVE this sign. Wonder how DU is explaining this one away? SO far this morning they've invoked "US guns at the heads of the Iraqis" and Stockholm Syndrome... Liberation jubilation and DU melt down all in one day. I can't take it! It's too much wonderful at one time :) LOL

Of course, the goals of the socialists have always been slavery, torture and death -- from Adolf Hitler to Mario Cuomo to Richard Daley to Tom Daschle - in their hearts they're all the same.

I think I saw this woman on FOX news. She was obviously screaming and being quite obnoxious
while about 5 marines stood around deliberately ignoring her. I kind of wondered what was going on
but it was only a long range image from a far away camera so you could not hear the words. (Just as
well)

I think she realized that Saddam is no longer paying for her trip there. Also her borrowed fifteen minutes of fame will never happen now as she's more irrelevant than she was before. The media doesn't want or need to talk to the shields now that their part in the war is completely over.

These are the same peaceholes who didn't want to believe there were celebrations in East Berlin when the wall came down.

Look at the size of those guys in your picture. Underfed, starving Iraqis'? I've been looking for the starving Iraqis' since this war began, most of the women are rather portly, and a lot of the men look like these two. Just wondering.

Try again.
Watch CBC station on cable when civilians had to start stripping before they could surrender.
The ribs and hips were poking out and they looked like they escaped from concentration camps. It was gross.
To: Nagilum
Geez, getting into a cussing contest with a Marine. Talk about being outgunned!
To: mabelkitty; finnman69
You are both correct. I DO recall seeing these people, and their obvious need for food and water. I've seen so many images that they seem to overshadow what I witnessed only days before, in some cases, hours. Please don't think that I was being totally insensitive to those who are in serious need, I think I was asking myself aloud (by posting) why these guys were in such good shape. It makes me wonder if they might have changed into civilian clothes after ditching a uniform or something, and holding such a sign in order to escape scrutiny.In other words, I was wondering if the many Iraqis' that DO appear to be well fed were in the regimes' "good graces" and are now playing a grand game of CYA. Your sobering reminder of those who truly suffer re-enforces these suspicions. I think I'd better lay off the news for a while.It's making me crazy.
