‘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

This O'Keefe maroon was on a local Seattle talk show yesterday sprewing his tripe. A Ft. Lewis based Army Ranger called in to wish him luck, and urged him to keep his group together, "so we can get you all in one fell swoop."

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

On the contrary, "unfit" (in this case, stupid) individuals getting weeded out of the gene pool as a direct consequence of their shortcomings is classic natural selection at work.

Following generations will have an improved gene pool as a result.

As the saying goes, "Evolution in action".

I HOPE they all have a big red bullseye painted on the front of their shirts...

They're DRIVING to Baghdad? From LONDON?

I guess they wanted to see the sights one last time before we atomize them all with a single "misplaced" bomb. Oops, collateral damage!

Greetings Grampa Dave:
PS: When I visit, please remember I like the girls to be under 15 to watch me do my thing! Thank you.
Perhaps that's what slimy Scotty meant here:

TIME: You've spoke about having seen the children's prisons in Iraq. Can you describe what you saw there?
RITTER: The prison in question is at the General Security Services headquarters, which was inspected by my team in Jan. 1998. It appeared to be a prison for children — toddlers up to pre-adolescents — whose only crime was to be the offspring of those who have spoken out politically against the regime of Saddam Hussein. It was a horrific scene. Actually I'm not going to describe what I saw there because what I saw was so horrible that it can be used by those who would want to promote war with Iraq, and right now I'm waging peace.

remind me to add some of these human shields to my dead pool roster, I might just win this thing after all!

Shouldn't this be a Darwin alert. This is the end of that gene pool.

You mean these "human shields" may be the remaining descendents of cro-magnon? No wonder they lost.
