I was a naive fool to be a human shield for Saddam (MUST, MUST READ!)

Sooo good! As usual, thank you, MadIvan.

You hit a home run with this piece. It should be required reading for every peace activist!

I'm going to print this out and distribute it amongst my peacenik friends.

I am sick of defending my position to my 'it feels good to be against war' friends. Night after night I bombard them with facts, and they sit in their denial (going home every night to their expensive, privately owned homes..where they bitch for hours if there is a blip in the electricty supply!)

[lizma]

Jeez!!! You just want to shake these people.

Forming an opinion takes alot of work. Listening to propaganda and reacting is easy, just ask the German citizens who were alive in the 40's.

Great post.
Too bad groups "of conscience" will keep their "all you hear are crickets" silence on these
stories of torture.

But I salvage a bit of cruel fun from this.
Watching my feminist colleagues uncomfortably grimace when I tell them
that Dubya (and Blair and "a few good men" and women) freed more women in
Afghanistan in two months than the National Organization of
Women did in two decades.

That giant sucking sound you hear in this article is a leftie finally pulling his head out of his ass. About time. I hope a thousand more stories like this come pouring out of Iraq once we have deposed the monster. I want to personally round up every one of these puking protesters, from the lowliest dope-smoking dipshit to the richest Hollywood celebrity and take them over to Iraq, to see first hand what horrors they have been supporting.

BUMP to the high heavens (or till the NYT prints it) whichever comes first

[Libertina]

Anyone with half a brain must see that Saddam has to be taken out
That explains why the left is left OUT.

At least one of the human shields was smart enough to recognize reality when it bit him on the a$$. That's something, I suppose.

I read somewhere that this evil incarnate, sadamn, put people in plastic shredder feet first, so they could hear themselves scream.

peaceniks, yeah, no war, love heals. (gag)

[pgkdan]

"Really, how much did Saddam pay you to come?"

Funny...I've often asked myself the same question.

[Happygal]

You might like to print this one out for your 'Support the Troops' rally :-)

Thanks for the post. Prayers for the families of our brave Brit friends who made the ultimate sacrifice in this conflict.

Another lesson 'bout a naive fool that came to Babylon,
and found out that the pie don't taste so sweet.

Nice MadIvan...keep up the good work.

[Feiny]

He says he is ambivalent after witnessing that???? He is still a fool.

[KSCITYBOY]

Thanks for the info.

[Republic If You Can Keep It]

Excellent, Ivan.

There is nothing so pathetic as seeing a beautiful young theory roughed up by a tough gang of facts.

[Blue Collar Christian]

Thanx for the link.

Killer tag line.
