The Latest on "Baghdad Betty" (Ms. Uzma Bashir) Who 'Faced Down' USMC at Palestine Hotel

It was reported in the wire services in Baghdad the US soldier who had cried did so because he informed the shouting Uzma that he had earlier scooped the brains up of two of his fallen comrades on his way to Baghdad, "and then have to face this s__t" (in reference to UK citizen/Saddam sympathizer Baghdad Betty and her in-your-face rants, disruption and apologies for the fallen Ba'athist Regime).

By the way, this British woman is still roaming around Baghdad free, causing trouble and disruption everywhere she goes. She is no longer a 'human shield' but now a 'free journalist' (accredited by "Baghdad Bob" under the Saddam regime), writing for Socialist Worker out of the U.K.

Can you spell "War Crimes" and "Guantanamo"?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Somebody needs to pop a cap on Oozemah.

[Joe Brower]

Can you spell "fatal traffic accident"?

[Cathryn Crawford]

What a bitch.

She obviously doesn't really care who or what she protests against, as long as she can stir it up.

[x1stcav]

and nothing shuts her up.

This part of the story I can definitely believe.

[Gefreiter]

How long before she's an MP back home, or lecturing at Berkeley?

Unfortunately, I feel that this woman's future will be remunerative and successful, and it really really annoys me.

[lelio]

You go girl! I say let this idiot rant on and people will see what kind of morons the liberals attract.

[wideawake]

I wouldn't blame any soldier for crying if he had happened to see a creature this ugly in person.

That's the last thing you need to see after a stressful day of being shot at.

You should have caught Baghdad Betty's act on Lebanon Broadcasting Corp (LBC) and al-Jazeera last week at the square the Marines liberated near the Palestine Hotel. Talk about pi--ing on a campfire (or at least trying to). She was foaming at the mouth. It is a wonder this yapping Yorkshire/Islamabad chihuahua did not get a rifle butt to the jowls.

[dighton]

The Marines exercised admirable restraint in not killing this trash.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yor correct there. Definite 'barf alert' over this 'babe'

[goodnesswins]

Someone should give her a burqua, and make her wear it.

[AmericanInTokyo]

sounds like a good approach

[T'wit]

Crimeys, you should have warned us before posting that photo. That face would turn away bombs as easily as it would stop clocks -- at least smart bombs. I can't imagine a bomb with an ounce of intelligence that would come anywhere near her.

[BrooklynGOP]

I say they throw her face down on the floor, cuff her, and send her up for processing. Let them spend a few days "figuring out" who she is.

[Retrofire]

My GOD that is one monkey-faced woman. She looks like an ugly pumpkin.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Is she named "Uzma" because that's the sound that people make when they see her for the first time?

[jjm2111]

What a mug. eeewww.... no wonder that captain got pissed.

[x1stcav]

I can't wait for the new Baghdad police authority to round up and deport these so-called shields. A little time in Iraqi incarceration might do wonders for this bitch's attitude.

[Illbay]

The tank had parked itself outside the Palestine Hotel,...

Wow, I knew we had "smart weapons," but I had no idea!
