Isn't that special.

"The...sentiment which demands that, whatever our opinion about military actions, we should back our forces should also be applied to the human shields," Richard Scrase, director of the London-based Human Shields Action, said in a statement.

No worries, mate! There's an agreement! The Americans will bomb the British human shields. The British forces will bomb the American human shields.

They wouldn't be bombed if they weren't in Iraq.

No worries, mate! There's an agreement! The Americans will bomb the British human shields. The British forces will bomb the American human shields.

Better results through proper planning :-)

The human shields shouldn't so much worry about our but what the freed Iraqi people will do to them once they are released from the grip of Saddam who these sheilds seem hell bent on protecting.

The Human Shields Action group, which has about 100 international volunteers deployed in Iraq in a bid to deter military strikes, said it had asked Blair to avoid attacking sites where shields were based.

No problem .... what militry target are you guarding? And where did you say you were again?

[OpusatFR]

Is it hubris or naivete?

[resistance]

Perhaps each of the human shields could be given a broadcasting GPS (targeting device) so that our smart weapons would know right where they are!

[hippy hate me]

I hope the Iraqi's spit on these idiots.

"No worries, mate! There's an agreement! The Americans will bomb the British human shields. The British forces will bomb the American human shields."

Nah, I think we should bomb our own. Seems the honorable thing to do.

Is it too late to send them a care package....

[valleygal]

Huh?????

[Cosmo]

Their still there after 8 p.m.? There's hope for our gene pool yet!

[Fraulein]

"where human shields are deployed."

LOL!

[Rocky]

A little physics lesson: Humans don't make very good shields. Should have stayed in school, fellas.

[Rocko]

But how can they be shields, if they don't get bombed? Isn't that the point?

[hippy hate me]

Too busy protesting....how ironic.
