BAGHDAD

[gov_bean_ counter]

As a former Marine, he should understand that he is expendable.

[Gumption]

Mr. O'Keefe has yet to arrive in Baghdad, and Mr. Joffe-Walt last heard of him in Syria.

I think the U.S. govt. should make it it's business to make sure this former Marine, citizen of the world, gets his ass to Baghdad ASAP!

[My2Cents]

From this graphic, it looks like the dove of peace has dumped a dropping onto central Iraq.

[Ichneumon]

They want "peace" and they can't even get along with each other?

Ironic, isn't it?

Their "informal" leader is hung up somewhere in Syria because he didn't realize he needed an official passport.

Oh, it's much worse than just "not realizing" -- he purposely rejected the whole concept, wrote himself a "citizen of the world" document, and presumed that the countries he traveled through would embrace him for it.

It wasn't ignorance, it was arrogant leftist starry-eyed idealism -- which crash-landed into reality.

[Ichneumon]

Let's hope they strap GPS broadcasters to themselves to help us with targeting.

Let's give them special "laser pointers" to mark the sites we're supposed to avoid...

[xJones]

They showed these guys in Baghdad, milling around, playing bongos, and so forth. One guy had on a black jacket with "HUMAN SHIELD" lettered across the back. Looked like an FBI or BATF jacket. Stylish, protester chic.

I'd give a lot to know what average Iraqis really think of their "shields". I'd bet they're staring in amazement at those whacked-out idiots.

[Ichneumon]

said Mrs. Williams, who wore a T-shirt reading, "Animal Killers, close them down."

I take it Mrs. Williams hasn't heard about Saddam's WMD tests on animals...

[ellery]

So the peace activists are fighting with each other? Now that's rich.

[Redcloak]

I almost feel sorry for Saddam. Imagine... Western loonies arriving by the bus load. It sends a chill up my spine!

[Robe]

Isn't the TEAR DROP a prison tattoo ? I recall something about it means that the wearer killed someone in prison.....Any comments?

[xJones]

It wasn't ignorance, it was arrogant leftist starry-eyed idealism -- which crash-landed into reality.

Agreed, and you left out self-righteous. He's probably had a *wonderful* time being held up and questioned in those counties. :)

[Robe]

Isn't the TEAR DROP a prison tattoo ? I recall something about it means that the wearer killed someone in prison.....Any comments?

[Redcloak]

I wonder what he did time for. (Large tear-drop tattoos usually mean 5 years. Smaller ones mean 1 year.)

[general_re]

I never thought he was sharp enough to be a buzzsaw.

Ah, but there's where you're wrong - he's a bona-fide former world champion...

[Redcloak]

See 35.

"An Iraqi woman flashes the peace sign as tens of thousands of Iraqis demonstrate in support of President Saddam Hussein in Baghdad, Iraq, on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2003."

That's NO PEACE SIGN - that's the DimRat Distress Signal!

She is waving to her friends in the U.S. . . .

Ask not what you can do for your country - ask what you can do for Iraq!

Same face - different war.

Turkey on Friday deported human shield leader Ken Nichols, a former U.S. marine in the 1991 Gulf war, as he tried to enter the country using documents certifying him as a citizen of the world.

I don't know anything about the meaning of teardrop tattoos, but both mother and son look like a couple of freaks...

Damn those peace loving environmentalists are POLLUTING the Earth and contributing to Global Warming and ozone depletion. Checkout that exhaust.
