A red London bus carrying anti-war campaigners who aim to act as human shields in Baghdad drives past Istanbul's Suleyman the Magnificent Mosque as they set out for Baghdad February 10, 2003. Turkish Foreign Minister Yasar Yakis said on Monday disputes in NATO over preparations to defend Turkey against Iraqi attack in event of a war were more a matter of timing than essence and could be overcome.

Unidentified peace activists chant slogans as they hold anti-war banners in Turkish and Greek on a red double-decker bus in Istanbul, Turkey, Sunday Feb. 9, 2003. Some 30 members of the human shields group arrived Friday in Istanbul in a convoy of two red double-decker buses and several cars that traveled by land from Britain. The activists are heading to Iraq to act as 'human shields' to try and prevent an American-led attack on that country. (AP Photo/Str)

Looking at the pics you posted, it is clear that the bus used was spewing deadly carbon dioxide at an alarming rate. It probably used quite a bit of fuel in the course of the trip. I wonder what the enviro-whackos think of this egregious act of terror upon the envirnment by the sheildies.

"There were lots of group squabbles," said Benjamin Joffe-Walt, 23, an American paramedic. "Very few people knew each other...it was difficult to organize it. There were lots of different ideas..."

Ken O'Keefe, their informal leader and a former American Marine, burned his U.S. passport and designed himself new travel documents proclaiming him a "Citizen of the World." As a result, he was detained in three countries.

They are turning out to be useless idiots.
