Of course that couldn't be related to this, could it?

Iraq says Islamic martyrdom-seekers flock to the country to carry out suicide attacks.

Iraq's vice president, Taha Yassin Ramadan, said Saturday that thousands of Muslim volunteers ready for martyrdom are flocking to the country. Earlier on Saturday, a suicide bombing — the hallmark of Muslim extremism — left four U.S. soldiers killed near the holy Muslim Shiite town of Najaf south of Baghdad.

Or this one?

Purported Saudi militant uses Internet to invite Muslims to fight for Islam in Iraq

There have been reports of Iraqis returning from Jordan and Syria to fight alongside their countrymen, and some reports of other Arabs also going to Iraq.

So?

Actually, I'd like to know their names, so their estates can be billed for the costs of any rounds which were wasted on them.

I'm surprised Black Beret Dude had any love for Americans. I guess an exception could be made for those idiotic enough to die on behalf of Saddam.

[blam]

Sounds like a couple bus loads of jihidast streaming to Iraq in support of Saddam, suitable targets.

Iraqi minister claims human shields bombed by US aircraft .. on BBC & CNN now

Beside targets of opportunity we also bomb targets of Stupidity.

Yesterday morning on the news they were showing the suicide bombers load onto two buses to head to Iraq to support Saddam. They had an interview with a father who was explaining how he told his son to kill Americans. As tey were getting on I said that those buses didn't have much chance of making it. I'm betting those are the buses that got hit. I doubt there were any human shields on board but if there were it was suicide bombers they were "shielding".

On a related note, I heard yesterday that the 101st Airborne lost their human shield......... Jeraldo Rivera.

[cincinnati65]

And your point is.........?

[Kozak]

unsure .. DisinfoSmurf was not clear .. he merely said that an Am,erican aircraft had "attacked" two busses between Baghdad and Amman .. and that, amongst the 40 on board were Human Shiwelds.

Gee maybe this was the busload of joyous suicide bombers rushing forward to join the Great Jihad? So sad, too bad.

[Publius6961]

LOL!

I wonder how long it will take the sandmaggots to figure out that every bus going into Iraq is a great target?
Mum's the word, guys.

[TheAbbodad]

LEMMING ALERT!!!!

[legman]

And the spin on this is "evil Americans."

Where is the Islamic and international outrage about Saddam using them. Because of our bumbling press, he benefits from every death, friend or foe, and regardless who pulls the trigger.

[holdmuhbeer]

Cool!

[samtheman]

I blame the Bush administration for not organizing a mass get-out-the-human-shield drive in key communities in America (such as Berkeley) and among key population groups (such as college professors). If the government had been more proactive on this issue, we could have fielded hundreds of thousands of leftist-human-shields.

Sigh... if only...

Al-Jazeera just showed a tape of one of Saddam's body-doubles awarding them postumous medals........

[handy]

How thoughtful of the terrorists to gather together on a bus to make it easy on our pilots.

And the song is great.

Looked a that photo again.

They should all take off their shirts.

Because its going to get mighty hot in that bus.

3500 degrees.

[Jn316]

As *soon* as those buses enter Iraq they should at the very least be disabled...

Or maybe something more deserving of people who's sole aim is to kill American (Coalition) Soldiers...
