Some 50 other Swedish anti-war human shield activists who had travelled to Iraq began to leave on Monday, saying they had wanted to protect hospitals and schools but had been forced out to refineries, power plants and water works.

This says it all.

Where did they think they were going?

"I own these buses and they are my livelihood and my family's livelihood. And all along I was there really to take the people down and then come back," he said.

LOL!!!

"We painted a huge sign on the roof saying human shields"

Makes target practice easy.

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.

So now, Mr. Letts is going to leave his buses in Beirut and fly to London to beg for money to drive them back to England. This guy is as dumb as a bag of rocks. Beirut....probably the most anarchic city in the world (even more than Amsterdam) ruled by....nobody, and more or less controlled by the Syrian army and a loose bunch of local militia groups who probably don't make any money at all, except for what they can steal or bully out of the local economy, such as it is....how long do you think these buses will stay intact? About ten minutes after he gets on the plane, these vehicles will have been stripped. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

I don't know how these people wipe their own butt. You simply can't make up how uttterly idiotic these loons are. No one would believe you. There's enough comedic material here for a whole year of late-night monolouges and a couple of movies. How about THE HUMAN PANTY SHIELDS EXCELLENT ADVENTURE and FROM BAGHDAD TO BEIRUT: RIDING THE BULLSEYE BUS

So now here they sit in Beirut. Wouldn't it be ironic if they got boarded and blown to bits by a Palestinian suicide bomber who thought it was a Jewish tour bus? I hate to sound harsh, but wouldn't that be fitting? They'd be saving the lives of innocent Israelis, and giving their lives for a legitimate cause.

Let them be true human shields--take their bus to Israel and tell the terror bombers there that violence isn't the way.

Uh,no, man, you know, I gotta go get my unemployment check and score some weed and some food stamps and. . . .

But he said that although he stayed on as a shield for a week, he had no intention of staying in Baghdad for the duration of a war.

Just long enough to say that he was there, right? Of course these losers bugging out only shows that they knew all along that the good guys would not target civilians and civilian infrastructure, so they felt safe in pretending to be so courageous -- until Saddam Hussein's boys forced them to guard real targets or leave.

The most humorous part is yet to come: When General Franks
announces that it is unsafe to remain in Baghdad.
Next Friday?

They have a website www.humanshields.org. There is a feedback section. The message I sent to them: "You people are idiots. Thanks for the laughs!" I guess I could have said more, but that sums things up so well.
