Typical, these parlor-pinks talk the talk, but don't walk the walk. When it becomes clear that the war will be for real, they run for the hills.

MINSTREL: [singing] Brave Sir Robins ran away,
“SHIELDS”: No!
MINSTREL: [singing] Bravely ran away, away.
“SHIELDS”: We didn't!
MINSTREL: [singing] When danger reared its ugly head, they bravely turned their tails and fled.
“SHIELDS”: No!
MINSTREL: [singing] Yes, brave Sir Robins turned about..
“SHIELDS”: We didn't!
MINSTREL: [singing] And gallantly, they chickened out. Bravely taking to their feet..
“SHIELDS”: We never did!
MINSTREL: [singing] They beat a very brave retreat..
“SHIELDS”: All lies!
MINSTREL: [singing] Bravest of the brave, Sir Robins.
“SHIELDS”: We never!

I guess there's some still there. I wonder in what hour of their upcoming torture by Saddam they figure out they made a mistake.

"It heightened fears among some peace activists that they could be stationed at non-civilian sites."
You mean they dont trust Saddam?
If you cant trust the Butcher of Bagdad who can you trust?
