Is that headline OK?
Shouldn't Human Shiels be Human Shills?

Actually a 'shiel' is an old Scots word for small dwelling/hut. They are apparently going to Iraq pretending to be tents.
Oh wait, that can't be right....
Perhaps they are just as stupid as they sound?
To: Jacobine
Let me guess.... Not a single one of the Hollywood anti-war crowd amoung them. So much for conviction to a cause.

It Pitt would go over there to be a human shield, it would take about two minutes for us to raise the money for a one-way ticket.

Correction! Headline should read:
American and British Human Shills Head to Iraq
To: Jacobine
'I don't think anyone will be happy about bombing somewhere they see being protected by North Americans or Europeans,' he said. Is that right?
You might want to re-think that one.
In my humble opinion, we're talking win-win!

'Part of the reason I want to go back is to apologise to the Iraqi people for what I was doing there the first time I was in their country,Sheesh, what a maroon.
To: Jacobine
"former US marine Kenneth Nichols" ... RIP ... A disgrace to the Corps and all those who have fought and died to preserve our freedoms and liberty.
To: Dutch Boy
Shall we take up a collection?
To: Jacobine
About 100 US Special Forces members and more than 50 Central Intelligence Agency officers have been operating in small groups inside Iraq for at least four months.. HEY YOU GUYS!!!
Take this bunch out first.

Nichols is willing to put his own life on the line to stop a war.Okay! I DO appreciate the Government freedoms that we have had bestowed so graciously upon us. If that's what he wants to do well...It certainly won't change my attitude toward's that tyranical leader in Iraq or my resolve as to what needs to be done to keep our Republic free.

I'll be glad to pay the whole fare.
Matter-a-fact, I've got a special airplane he can go in ;-)

I wonder if the whole kit 'n kaboodle would have been willing to act as human shields in the World Trade Center.

He is too busy drinking beer and drowning his life in liberal bs to bother, but he is going to be one that clogs up the war at home with protests.

'In going to Iraq I understand that I will likely not survive a US invasion,' he (Nichols) said. Works for me. Why don't you bring along a cyanide capsule, just to make sure.
'I don't think anyone will be happy about bombing somewhere they see being protected by North Americans or Europeans,' he (Nichols) said.
This guy seems to think that everyone is as big a racist as he is. I don't like to see anyone killed needlessly. I don't care whether he is Iraqi or North American or European. The nationality of the people being bombed does not matter a whit.
(OK, maybe you get bonus points for the French. But that's the only exception)
The key is to only get into wars that are worth killing and dying for. I would put the Iraq invasion in that category, provided the ultimate goal is to overthrow the country and install a stable, representative form of government.
