WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A day after dozens of peace activists boarded double-decker buses and a taxi to travel from London to Baghdad in hopes of preventing bombing by the U.S. and its allies, the Bush administration criticized their efforts.

"We would not recommend that people allow themselves to be used by a tyrant and a dictator who has a history of doing horrible things to even his own people as well as his neighbors," White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card told Fox News Sunday. "So this is not the time for people to call themselves human shields."

On Saturday, participants said they were hoping their presence would cause war planners not to carry through on threats to attack Iraq, which they accuse of amassing weapons of mass destruction in violation of U.N. resolutions.

"The potential for white Western body parts flying around with the Iraqi ones should make them think again about this imperialist oil war," organizer Ken O'Keefe, a former U.S. Marine in the 1991 Gulf War, said Saturday.

At least that is what the CNN title said on the Netscape home page.

Considering the war is not about race or oil (well not about oil as they describe it anyway) these guys are morons. I won't be shedding a tear for any of them. If they bring along children I may shed a few tears for the children when the they die.

He'll be formerly alive if he stands with the Hussein regime.

Some ex-military go nuts after they get out.

The potential for white Western body parts flying around with the Iraqi ones should make them think again about this imperialist oil war,"

Why do these people drag race into everything?

I shouldn't speak for anyone else, but I would have fewer qualms about hitting one of these people than I would hitting a member of Saddam's Republican Guard. Saddam's soldiers grew up in a Muslim hell, and don't know any better. What is these people's excuse?

Alternative definition of a human shield: collateral damage.

"The potential for white Western body parts flying around with the Iraqi ones should make them think again about this imperialist oil war," organizer Ken O'Keefe, a former U.S. Marine in the 1991 Gulf War, said Saturday.


The activists planned to drive day and night through Europe and Turkey, arriving at the Iraqi border by February 4 or 5, where they will be given entry visas by Iraqi officials, volunteer Sue Darling said.

Or,
Alternative definition of a human shield: "Fringe benefit".

Saddam Hussein is not human, so these are not human shields.

The shame of America:

   HUMAN SHIELDS 

human shields, they claim
America's to blame
on foreign land
they take a stand
they are thier countries shame

and when the smart bombs fall
I guess they'll give their all
for their phoney cause
their last hurrahs
will die with their Hussein

you think my poem is cruel
no pity for the fool
well I do feel bad 
for their mom and dad
but not for those insane.

God bless our men and women in the service of their country.
