You mean Saddam LIED to them?

[Welsh Rabbit]

My gut reaction is good riddance to these Darwin Award candidates. My compassionate side feels they should institutionalized (and possibly given lobotomies) for their own good, just like is done with any other mentally ill person who is threatening suicide.

We are at war. These people have chosen to be there on the ground while many already living there would leave all they have if they could do so so freely and safely. Laugh at these fools if you will but don't hesitate a milli-second in wasting these human shields. They are where they want to be.

What a gaggle of fools.

For real. What do these people expect from a dictator who murdered his way into power and gasses his own people?

The idea that they would become human shields for this sick evil criminal and think they are doing something good, shows how delusional they are.

They remind me of the "everyone is beautiful" flower children of the 60's who ended up with a Charles Manson as a room-mate.

Unbelievable... you just can't make this stuff up. Thanks for posting these human shields/useful idiot reports... keep 'em coming! ;-D

[nutmeg]

Here's another one! LOL

Reading for pleasure has been a lifelong pursuit of mine. I have thoroughly enjoyed this piece.

What a gaggle of fools.

I call it "thinning the herd". :-)

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ping list.

This must be The Onion or similar satire. It is so funny, in so many places, it is amazing that it could be true.

I can only imagine the reporter that was talking with them, and how he must have felt listening to these hypocrites.

All the while, brave American men and women stand in harm's way to defend our Freedom. And brave Brits, and Aussies, and the Free people of New Europe, and all other FREE NATIONS. They leave families and friends to defend these twits.

I think the United Nations should be scrapped and replaced with the Group of Free Nations-- admission is freedom for your citizens, no nutcases or tyrannical despots. Everything is non-binding subject to each countries ability to back it up. Members are free to group together. France is not invited, or Canada.

Such an organization, without a veto, or a Security Council, and with the French and German impotents cut down to size (very small), would have a chance to advance Freedom.

Truly a "thread for the ages" bump. It is even funnier the second time around. And we are looking to the UN for an answer-- I think not much longer.

[RobFromGa]

PING! You've got to read this one. And freeper #179 (IncPen) is in the house.

[Diddley]

Please. My side is splitting.

"We always understood that human shield meant a shield of humans and that we would be allowed to work with Iraqi civilians. Why it is (sic) being interpreted differently now?"

It’s all in the emphasis:
HUMAN shields (shields made of humans) vs. human SHIELDS (shields for humans).
It helps to find out the exact meaning before you leave. Ha.Ha.Ha.

[Celtjew Libertarian]

BUMP.... As soon as I stop laughing.

[toenail]

This is funnier than the Social-Workers-Hunt-For-NYC-Homeless story a few days ago.

[Free_at_last_-2001]

Thanks for posting this Ivan - tears are running down my face - I haven't laughed as much for ages!

This must be life imitating art! (I believe they had a red bus too - in their last episode)

[smokeyjon]

Fox and Friends is covering this story this morning (Sunday). Bwahahahaha

[alnick]

"Dr Hashimi has explained that we help the population more by staying in the 'strategic sites'," he explained. His friend added: "We play football in the afternoons and the Iraqis bring us cartons of cigarettes. It's just like summer camp."

And just wait till you see the cool fireworks show.

[cardinal4]

He was won over when the Iraqis provided televisions, VCRs, telephones and a Play Station.

Cheapskates. Even I have a PlayStation2!

Well the numbers speak for themselves. 280,000,000 Americans and only 200 "human shields." And some of those human shields aren't even Americans. That's not a very impressive showing at all for the so-called "anti-war" movement.

As war becomes more inevitable and most of these "human shields" now start to flee, the anti-war movement appears even more pathetic. It appears that practically nobody in the anti-war movement is willing to earn the title "human shield."
