Well, to be technical, they DID accomplish their objectives. The power and water plants were not hit by the military at all, and civillian casualties seem to have been kept at a minimum.

The objective to avoid civilian casualties and to avoid destroying important infrastructure was that of the military, not the shields. Despite their claims, they chose not to defend the power plants and water works but to hide there, knowing that the military sought not to strike them. Their presence was inconsequential. Had they attached themselves to Iraqi tanks, they would be dead.

HUMAN SHIELDS DECLARE VICTORY

In other news French President Chirac commented:

"The Victory of the human shields in stopping the slaughter in Iraq was as magnificant and as effective, as the performance of our fine French troops in defeating the Nazi, aggression of WW II."

I heard that if the teardrop is an outline, that means you lost a hommie. However if it's colored in, your a gang-banger.

Well, to be technical, since the military was not targeting civilians or these sites, they had nothing at all to do with their objectives being accompished.

Prepare for Christmas in Palestine 2003

That'll be a good trick...human shields in a non-existent country...Does that mean they will disappear?

>>"Every morning I sprinkle my apartment with elephant repellent powder. To date, not a single elephant has come near my apartment. Therefore, the powder is effectively repelling the elephants. QED."

It's not working for the Dem's. There is a huge elephant int their living room. But they don't want to talk about it.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2003/01_january/28/hardtalk_kenokeefe.shtml Ken O'Keefe is a former US Marine and Gulf War I veteran. [The descriptive word "former" is well noted! No way is that punk still a Marine. But it's obvious that he is a criminal of some sort, if we go by the generally-recognized meaning of his teardrop tattoo.]

http://www.universitystar.com/97/10/07/100797n5.html "An anonymous source at Gary Job Corps Center said one of the ways to distinguish a gang member is by the teardrop tattoo. A hollow teardrop indicates the loss of a friend in a gang. If the teardrop is colored in, the individual with the tattoo was either present at a criminal act or committed it themselves."

http://burn.ucsd.edu/archives/raza/1997.08/msg00005.html "...it is most commonly seen as a symbol of having
served time in prison."

http://www.spscriptorium.com/Season4/E401secrets.htm "The teardrop tattoo - a sign that the inmate has killed someone."

Any reasonable person would agree that if striking a given target was worth risking the welfare of a single US airman, then it would have been worth risking, say, five or six thousand of these bootlicking Shields. Be assured that our military planners gave no consideration at all to the presence of these dorks.

I love funny fallacies:

God is love.

Love is blind.

Ray Charles is blind.

Therefore Ray Charles is God.

This is a serious question...

When exactly did "doublespeak" the clearly satirical expression of impossibilities become accepted as rational, sane and routine means of communicating?

For generations it was clearly a joke, a tool or device of literature.

Human Shields were present at all major power and water plants in Baghdad. Human Shields remained so throughout the invasion and bombing of Iraq. Subsequently the power and water serving millions of Iraqi civilians in Baghdad was never "knocked out" by U.S./U. K. bombing.

Human Shields had their heads up camel's butts. Subsequently the camels of Iraq were NEVER "knocked out" by U.S./U.K. (and 50 other coutries in this single country liberation) bombing. "This is a GREAT victory for Human Camel-Butt Shields" declared the human shield in a muffled voice becuse his head was still stuck in a camel.

Maybe it's regional. I've lived in Long Beach, Harbor City, and Victorville CA. This idiot is a white boy poser. If he walked around in some of neighborhoods we've lived in with that stupid tat, he would get his ass kicked. Probably wouldn't make it out alive... Don't you just love how stupid white liberals are :)

Too funny. These wankers go to Iraq to fight the U.S. Government. After the war, the Iraqis want to kill the wankers, and the only thing that's stopping them is the U.S. Government the wankers went over there to fight.

Twisted pretzel logic.

Centcom says they never hit the power plants and don't know why the power went out.

A SQUIRREL decided to become a bridge in the wrong place. Or whatever annoying rodents they have in Baghdad.

How did we know they would take credit for our not bombing these cites - excuse me ... didn't we say from the beginning we were not going to bomb these locations ...??

Soooo ... these were SAFE places for the human shields - right ...?? And they think we're stupid ...!

I guess they forgot to station one of the Human Shills at the prison to keep the Coalition Forces from liberating the people Saddam had imprisoned and tortured there mainly because they would not join his party.

"Wasn't this fool kicked out of Iraq before the war started?"

He was thrown out of Turkey when the authorities refused to recognise his "Citizen of the World" passport.
