Five Would-Be 'Human Shields' Leave Iraq

The 'Shields' probably became suspicious when they were given radiation badges.

[What Is Ain't]

These cowardly morons are a constant source of humor.

[TADSLOS]

Looks like they're downsizing. The economy's to blame.

Oh, the Comedy of Errors continues:

Five volunteers who went to Iraq to serve as "human shields," including two Americans, were forced out of the country because they were critical of the government's choice of sites to protect, the head of the group said Wednesday.

ROFLMAO!!

[aBootes]

They removed us from the sites we had chosen because we were critical of the integrity and the autonomy of the Iraqi authorities," said O'Keefe, 33. "I was escorted by Iraqi intelligence officers to the border, because I say what I believe and the Iraqi government wants submissive easy robots."

Amazing. Just amazing. What a maroon.

[SengirV]

"They had chosen locations "essential to the civilian population," such as food storage warehouses and water and electricity facilities, said Ken O'Keefe, of Haleiwa, Hawaii."

And then they complained when Iraq wanted them to "protect" power plants? Sounds like Democratic logic to me.

[Poohbah]

"OH, S**T! THIS COULD GET DANGEROUS!"

[PaulJ]

...he said, blaming the plight of the Iraqis on the previous American governments that supported Saddam.

I'd be curious to know what he thinks the "previous American governments" should have done. Bombed Iraq?

And , by the way, someone should tell this Einstein that America has only ever had one government.

They should LOSE their citizenship and they should have to go to the same prison that Johnny Bin Laden Lindh Walker is in!!! And he was attacked last week by an angry mob. Iraq might have been safer for them than US prisons would be at this point. Of course after the war, the human shields will be seen as Pro-Saddam and they will be ripped apart limb by limb by angry Iraqis!

A friend of mine just told me that her relative who is an A55#0LE is on his way to spend 6 months in Iraq as a human shield. She said GOOD RIDDANCE!

[ewing]

Dang the 'false integrity' of those Iraq officials [according to Marine O'Keefe]

Just Damn..(thinking of the state of our educational system when folks like this slip through the cracks..)

**"I was escorted by Iraqi intelligence officers to the border, because I say what I believe and the Iraqi government wants submissive easy robots."**

Does this person have even a small clue about how very lucky they are to be leaving Iraq at all?? Liberal whining and "saying what you believe" could get you disembowled in Iraq.

[buffyt]

Maybe Hussein sees them as potential spies from America? Maybe they are lucky to get out of there ALIVE!!!!!!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

The quality of Human Shields is getting worse and worse. I mean most of them give up and go home before there is any fighting at all. What are they shielding from, air? Then they whine about what they are expected to shield. I bet there are no Starbucks in Iraq. One Leaver was heard to say "This isn't like the brochure at all".

[AmericanInTokyo]

Prosecute to the full extent of the law when they return to American soil. They violated Federal law by going there, and they may also have violated the Patriot Act.

Throw these naive, anti-American imbeciles into a cell in Guantanamo. Enemy combatants. They proved it.

[nicmarlo]

humor pingaroo : )

[prairiebreeze]

disembowled=disemboweled

Of course, the Iraqi's might also take your bowl away...just to be nasty.

heh

[ewing]

We really need the return of the Sedition Act for these folks.

[I still care]

"I was escorted by Iraqi intelligence officers to the border, because I say what I believe and the Iraqi government wants submissive easy robots."

They are probably in total amazement at the thought that the Iraqis could do this. They thought that only the US could be so imperialistic and arrogant.

Pictures, please. LOL
