"Cannon fodder by any other name. Too bad their organs can't be harvested first so they would actually do some good before they blow themselves up."

Yep.

Think we could maybe "volunteer" some others? Someone had a list of all those Hollywierd peaceniks...shouldn't they be thinking of putting their lives where their (big) mouths are?

There is so much Bravo Sierra in these two comments:

The number of human shields remain fluid....

Organizers brashly predict that the numbers will catapult to the thousands.

When the Iraqis who want to be free start using these Panty Shields for Soddomite as targets, they will dwindle in numbers very rapidly.

These clymers are not for peace. They are enablers of a mass murdering group of Islamofacist thugs. This is not lost on the Iraqis who want to be free from Soddomite and his thugs.

Give this boy an A for waking up and passing Reality Life 101: Others have become aware of the sinister side of what some say they naïvely interpreted as a kind of extraordinary war protest. "I think the Iraqi government is potentially putting us in a dangerous position," said a young Australian who said he had decided to leave.

One American peace advocate recalled a typical march where the Westerners were chanting antiwar slogans and were suddenly joined by dozens of Iraqis hoisting pictures of Mr. Hussein. "It changed the spirit of the march," said a recent college graduate who is one of the volunteers. "That wasn't what we expected."

I bet the ferocity of the bombs dropping on your traitorous heads wont be what you expected either you fruitloop.

Darn right, would rather see these idiots bombed than a poor Irag draftee. After all, these protesters have made their choice.

"The participants took exception. "That is ridiculous," said Ken Nichols O'Keefe, a 33-year-old gulf war Marine veteran who initiated the idea. "They are not using me. I am here voluntarily. What is Saddam Hussein supposed to say? `No, they can't do it'?"

He made it! Last we heard from the "Citizen of the World, Mr. O'Keefe" he had been detained in three different countries and was stranded somewhere in Syria because he tore up his passport and created his own documents claiming to be a citizen of the world.

I sure hope he didn't forget his target shirt...

"That would be treason, except that O'Keefe has already renounced his U.S. citizenship."

...And the name of that disgusting SOB's group of socialist dictator-worshippers is "We the People".

If he ever grows the cajones to be a human shield himself, please everyone pardon me for hoping that he's the first 'white' to mingle his 'body parts' with Iraqi body parts.

'I wonder if "changing the spirit" is code for "revealed our true intentions"?'

Their 'true intentions' must be compatible with those of that unnamed graduate of the reeducation camps (formerly called colleges), because he's one of the 'volunteers'.

I wonder what is the actual count of human shields presently under Saddam's 'protection'?? Tens?? A hundred?
