‘Human shields’ to leave for Baghdad

LONDON: Some 50 people opposed to a war in Iraq plan to leave for Baghdad tomorrow in a double-decker bus to act as “human shields” in the country, organizers said Wednesday.

At a Downing Street demonstration the previous day, the protestors, mostly British and US citizens, left a list of sites where they plan to install themselves in the hope of averting a military strike on Baghdad.

“We have given Tony Blair a list of names of the people who will be going and the locations where we will be deployed,” said Ken O'Keefe, a former US Marine and Gulf War veteran, and an organizer.

“Officially, it is now known that Tony Blair has been notified that UK and US citizens are going to be in harm's way and will be killed by our own governments if they go ahead with this war, as they appear determined to do,” said O'Keefe, who renounced his US citizenship in protest of US foreign policy. – AFP

It could get a little wet on the way to Iraq even in one of those big red double decker buses. LONDON: Some 50 people opposed to a war in Iraq plan to leave for Baghdad tomorrow in a double-decker bus to act as “human shields” in the country, organizers said Wednesday.

Let's start posting our unconfirmed reports now!

Are you crazy!!!!

You're going to blow their cover! ;-)

You know it's one thing to disagree & argue with your Govt. but it's an entirely different thing giving up your citizenship. The guy just isn't right in the head.

It's gotta be all those pins!

leave for Baghdad tomorrow in a double-decker bus....

You couldn't make this stuff up.

Of course this gives the useful idiots a convenient out, as to why they weren't there when the bombs started falling. The bus broke down. LOL.

It's your funeral!

Oh yeah...that same govt. agency, which will go unnamed, asked me to go be a human shield too.

I told them that I just couldn't go until after the Super Bowl, but would consider their kind offer after sunday.

But you didn't hear this from me.

Dear Uncle Soddomite:

This is a quick email to warn you that the human shields have had GPS locators inserted in their body cavities.

They are really suicidal Mossad agents being paid to by the Evil Tony and GW to come to your country to guide the bombs from the UK and US Planes. Do not let them got to any of your hidden WMD sites!

You should round up everyone of these Mossad double Moles and shoot them.

Human shield alert!!!!!!!

[colorado tanker]

Ping the evo-crevo devotees. We have evidence that the human race is not, in fact, evolving!

I suspect that when these 50 village idiots hear the first bomb explosion, they'll mess their pants then dash post-haste for that double-decker and frantically advise the driver to get the he!! out of Dodge!

"...My suggestion is to start a flood of unconfirmed news reports that state the CIA (and other U.S. friendly intel agency's) has been able to infiltrate these groups with their own people. CIA intends to use these groups as cover to get people "on the ground" inside Iraq..."

LOL!

Flash to a scene inside the bus, where every passenger is seen to be a physically fit male, 25 to 35 years old, sporting a crew cut, clean shaven, wearing identical Ray-Ban sunglasses, Diver's watches, short sleeve shirts, casual-wear trousers and dress shoes.

Bus stops near an improvised sign on a pole which reads: 'Iraq human shield pick-up point number 2'...

Scruffy looking protester type gets on bus, flashes peace sign, and sits near front. Every other passenger wipes brow saying "Whew!" in unison.

[holyscroller]

Hey if they have a list of 50 hot sites that need human shields, they should give that list to ole Hans Blix. He doesn't seem to have a clue about where to start looking.

[techcor]

Evolution in action.

[HamiltonJay]

Providing Aid and Comfort to an enemy is treason! Want to be a human shield, you are a traitor, and deserve a trators death. Personally I think bombs are too good for these maroons.

[Argus]

Lets hope the next round of Human Sheilds originates from the Hollywood airport.

Given goat-boy Uday's latest threats, the Hollywood Reds probably figure they'll be safer in Baghdad than in LA when the balloon goes up.
