"We will run the risk of being maimed or killed, but it is simply the same risk that innocent Iraqis will themselves face," O'Keefe was quoted as saying in a December online interview.

Iraqis will be in bomb shelters, not hanging out in front of military installations without cover.

These psychotic freaks must have us confused with a people that will care if these assclowns get blown to bits.

They will have nobody but themselves to blame, and Bush's approval ratings will go through the roof.

Naaah, let em go...
Sounds like a twofer to me...
Semper Fi

Maybe we should call Charles Rangel up and inform him of this lack of diversity. Then he can draft an appropriate crossection of our culture.

What is these people's excuse?

Ever watch the beginning of "Titanic"? Poor stupid, little, rich girl is going to kill herself because her life is soooooo meaningless. Perhaps this is their way to commit suicide to end their pathetic lives of privelege.

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

Nope. I dont care what race you are. Black,arab,WHITE,oriental,pinstripped, Don't mind at all. Jihad Johnny is white. IMHO he should have been hung. If all of the "shields" meet their demise..well all I can say is the gene pool just improved.

Just a general comment... this sort of misguided activity is the type one does not do twice...

"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.

What a race-baiting screwball... He should be ashamed.

"Life is hard; it's even harder when you're stupid."

Yes, Duke, but:
Life is short; it's even shorter when you're stupid.

I think this is a wonderful opportunity to get rid of some riffraff. Buy them all tickets to Bagdad. Wonder if Streisand, Baldwin, and other Hollywood trash would like to go. And, throw in Sheila Jackson-Lee and a few of the others commies in Congress.

If they bring along children...

This is probably the one instance where I say there should be a Child Protective Services and the kids should be taken away from the moron parents for life upon return (if they survive the parents putting them in harm's way)

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

Even those who went as human shields in 91 are warning them. Saddam abducted them to use them as shields for him and his military. The ex-peacenics said it was a terrifying experiance.
As far as white Western body parts, according to the U.N. Geneva Convention, they're already guilty of war crimes for volenteering.
If there's flying body parts, isn't this what they're volenteering for? Shields can be easily broken.
For the sake of world safety, we and our allies have to just forget these kooks are there and do what has to be done, even though I'm sure their families will probably miss them. (Because they're liberals, they may not have families anyway).
They'll soon be forgotten - not even getting the 15 minutes of fame they're cravng.

Limerick:

There was once a communist claque
Who boarded a plane to Iraq
They called themselves shields
Then lay dying in fields
And what was left won't be coming back

"I don't know what Card is getting at here by giving them publicity and time and consideration. Hopefully he's just preparing the public for their deaths."

Okay, Mr. Card, I'm prepared, "Inshalla", or "Whatever"

[LibKill]

I hope they paint themselves Blaze Orange.

The easier to sight in on them.

[philetus]

I could use a couple of those human shields to put over the grease spot on my garage floor, so I can keep the car tires clean.

This may be the largest single Darwin Award nomination ever!

That distinction currently belongs to the 39 members of the Heaven's Gate cult, but this group might set a new standard.
