There was two "human shields"(one long haired European creep and an ugly female lard butt) yelling at our troops this morning and those two Iraqi guys held that sign up to tell them to GET OUT of their country. It was a pro USA sign.

I'm fairly sure it wasn't originally intended as a pro-US sign. It doesn't, in fact, say "Go home, human shields, you US wankers." It has "HUMAN SHIELDS" printed on it, and then someone wrote, "Go home, US wankers," which is not really plausible as an expression of support for the US military. It's much more reasonable to suppose that it was a typically juvenile and semiliterate expression of protest by some British "human shields."

It is perfectly possible that those two Iraqi guys liberated the sign from some British human shields and were taunting them with it. That's merely a supposition, but it is reasonable to suppose that pro-Saddam Iraqis are not likely to be demonstrating against the US in the streets of Baghdad today.
