The human shields are mostly European activists who drove from London to Baghdad in two double-decker buses last month, intending to guard civilian sites from a U.S.-led military attack.

I feel embarrassed for themCan you imagine them facing their buds and their families.
I think I'd rather lay over in Greece until the war was over.

Hey dude, they told me we were all going to get stoned and party. No one told me anything about getting shot at.
To: Jmann
Damn.
We've just lost several Darwin Award candidates.
Oh well, plenty more are still on the ground.

If anybody can make me laugh about this, Rush can.
I can't wait for tomorrow's show.

More like Monty Python...

LOL! Maybe they need a less hazardous assignment, such as shielding underage girls from Scott Ritter at Burger Kings. Hey, where is Scottie? He's been awful quiet lately. I haven't heard him denounce America even once in the past two weeks.
To: Ipberg
LOL!

Exerpts from the article:
"On Friday, the head of Sweden's largest peace organization urged human shields to leave Iraq, saying they were being used for propaganda purposes by Saddam Hussein."
"To go down to Iraq and live and act there on the regime's expense, then you're supporting a terrible dictator. I think that method is entirely wrong," Ermanno told Swedish Radio
Maybe being this close to the snake opened some eyes. Maybe not. I was hoping they'd still be there when the bombs start falling.
