On a different note, did anyone catch on CNN about two hours ago, two hippies being removed from some building in the square, and gesturing angrily and yelling at the troops? I gotta think they were Westerner human shields because the guy had on your typical college kid clothes and his hair was in dreadlocks (he was white though), which I'm assuming is not a big style amongst Iraqi men. It was hard to tell, as CNN had four camera shots going at the same time so the image was only a quarter of the screen, but these people just don't get it. At the same time I'm watching Iraqis draggins Saddam's statue thru the streets and celebrating.

WHo do these hippies think they're helping? The troops don't want their help, the Iraqi people don't. It's just their own sense of ego that keeps them there.

I saw that on Fox -- the guy was trying to show some photos of something to the marines on the steps of the hotel (I think that is where it was). The marines ignored them. This was right after some Iraqis with the "Go home human shields" banner displayed it on the street.

If you watched FOX you would have seen the Iraqis carrying a banner that said Human Shields Go HOME!

Those fools thought they were doing the people a favor, but the people resented them.

"----two hippies -----"

Saw that on Fox (full screen) The woman was mouthing off at one of the Rangers. She reminded me sooo much of the antis parading thru NYC or DC. Loudmouth-know-it-all. Hope we didn't make her day!

I'm confused. I know we were trying to keep civilian casualty numbers down, but what about civilian garbage? Two too many walking around Baghdad today.

I saw it too.
