Special forces rescue Icelandic prime minister from furious credit crunch rioters By GRAHAM SMITH

An angry mob surrounded the car of Icelandic Prime Minister Geir H. Haarde yesterday, throwing eggs and cans at the vehicle and demanding an immediate election.

The breach of security came as protesters, furious about Mr Haarde's failure to prevent the country's catastrophic financial crisis, trapped the PM as he sat in his car outside Reykjavik's government offices.

The seething crowd spattered the building with paint and yoghurt, yelling and banging pans, hurling fireworks and flares at the windows and even lighting a fire in front of the main doors.

The day won't be too far off when B. Hussein O's false promises might have our own Special Force assigned to the White House when he will be pelted with eggs, burritos, and watermelons.

[bethtopaz]

My thoughts exactly!

[spokeshave]

I hope that was a non-fat yogurt.

[Islander7]

LOL! I can see this happening for real. It will the lunatics on the left storming DC. The rest of us will hard at work for Dear Leader to pay those taxes and keep the lights on.

If King Hussein gets as out-of-hand as we expect him to, we might see some of this.

[Jet Jaguar]

BTTT

Eggs, I can see. Watermelons are heavy enough to be considered WMD. But how far can one fling a burrito ?

[razorback-bert]

We should start a burrito flinging contest to raise money.

“An angry mob surrounded the car of Icelandic Prime Minister Geir H. Haarde yesterday, throwing eggs and cans at the vehicle and demanding an immediate election.”

Icelanders are a civilized people. Imagine, gentle Freeper, an angry mob of, say, French “youths” surrounding their President's car - Sarkozy Flambé.

Ya gotta get the flat corn tortilla shells and zip them out like Frisbees.

[Riley]

Iceland *has* a Special Forces unit?

[Riley]

Oh, “police Special Forces”; a tactical team or something.

[tvdog12345]

They must be really mad if they’re rioting in the middle of an Icelandic winter. The bonfire was undoubtedly to keep warm.

[momincombatboots]

O- ganic yogurt.

[Tainan]

Funny concept.

I was told at another website that references to watermelon are now indicative of a "racist" position.

Site is run by a Canadian who is self-described as a "homo universalis" rather than a Canadian. That boys got issues.

"But how far can one fling a burrito ?"

Depends on how much pork fat you put in it.

Coming soon, to a country near you... well as soon as the welfare payment is missed.

[browniexyz]

There have been several riots this winter in Iceland, starting before Christmas. These people are angry at government and letting it know it!

[Rebelbase]

“Coming soon, to a country near you... well as soon as the welfare payment is missed.”

At the state level that will happen one day. The Federal level will keep printing money and allow it to go to hyperinflation.

[AvOrdVet]

We are already going into hyper-inflation and probably very soon...
