Hate to say it, but it's probably safer in Baghdad now than in post-apartheid south africa.

[Pete'sWife]

Scary?

Yup.

But I see that this idiot is still able to tell about it.

[dennisw]

Does Saddam have any guest accommodations in his fuhrerbunker?

[Mr. Lucky]

They arrived in Baghdad Thursday. Not a brilliant sense of timing.

[shezza]

Hang on a tic...if he's a genuine human shield, what's he doing running to the bomb shelter when the bombs start falling? (What'll ya bet he believes his mere self-absorabnt presence is what is keeping the allies from targeting food storage units, schools, hospitals, and other civilian areas?

[petuniasevan]

They said they had come to realise their presence would not stop the war

Do ya THINK so???

Morons.

[mollynme]

He said they were experiencing problems with their plane tickets, which had been kept by a humanitarian aid organisation and were not in their possession.

Sounds like someone wants to turn them into martyrs.

[The Red Zone]

Yeah, guess who wins this game of chicken.

[The Red Zone]

Couldn't they just surrender?

[TontoKowalski]

Bombs are Frightening???

These folks are real brain surgeons, huh?

[The Red Zone]

Do they even know they are smartbombs?

[Destructor]

"Sounds like someone wants to turn them into martyrs."

We reap what we sow!

(What'll ya bet he believes his mere self-absorabnt presence is what is keeping the allies from targeting food storage units, schools, hospitals, and other civilian areas?)

What'll ya bet the mere presence of his self-absorbant Depends undergarments is the only thing that is standing between him and a completely soiled suitcase full of clothes?

One of the human shields, Mohammed Suleiman, 45,
had said: "If the bombing goes on, you are no more a
human shield, you are going to commit suicide."

Excuse me mister muhammaden, your religion's verbage is "martyr" or "jihadist".

[Samwise]

But...but...I didn't know they would use real bombs!

Idiots.

[NYCop]

Must be all the heat in South Africa, baked this guys noodle.

[thisiskubrick]

These human shields live in the land of "duh".

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

He could have said such but the reporter or editor probably reworded it to make him not look like such a Clymer.

[Blood of Tyrants]

When the bombs fall, we have to run down to the bomb shelters,

What? Holding hands, singing Kumbaya, and thinking of your happy place doesn't stop a 2000 lb bunker buster?
