Our favorite human shield pops up again
MSNBC ^

Posted on 04/19/2003 9:30:13 AM PDT by saquin

An Iraqi makes a point with U.S. Marines on patrol in Baghdad, Iraq's al-Mansour district Monday. Marines stepped up patrols in the city in response to looting and violence that spread after coalition forces ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's regime.

Notice the caption given to this picture. "An Iraqi makes a point..." Apparently our British millionaire friend Uzma Bashir has fooled a lot of people into thinking she's an Iraqi unhappy that the US is in Baghdad. She seems to be popping up everywhere. Can't we find a way to send her a** out of the country? The troops have shown incredible restraint by not slapping her silly yet.

To see the slideshow this was taken from, go to the source URL ( http://msnbc.com/news/846463.asp ) and click on "Transition in Iraq". It's photo #6.

We need to flood MSNBC with emails telling them they've been scammed - but we need a link to that story and photo to prove it. Anyone got a link?

I don't know... but it seems that if she doesn't get that finger out of the Marines face, he's gonna grad it, spin her around, and shove it where the sun don't shine.

Whoops, I mean a link to the original story identifying her as Bashir, a "human shield". It's around here somewhere...

I don't know dude.  I have 50 bucks that says he wouldn't violate the instructional tattoo on her ass that says "This Space Reserved For Head"

Marines usually follow instructions.

Yes they do.

Sargent: "How did this happen?"

Marines: "We don't know, we turned to look for a sniper, and when we looked back, there she was, on the ground, with her pants down, and her finger shoved up. We think she fell on it."

Sargent: "OK, keep looking for those snipers..."

Yeah, it's generally not advisable to wag your finger in a Marine's face.

Are we sure that's Ooz-ma? Ugly women with black circles around their eyes and huge noses all sort of look alike to me.

On the bottom of the page there is this link:

Here is what I wrote:

The description of this picture (link attached) is in error - the woman depicted is not an Iraqi but, rather, a fairly wealthy individual from England who went to Iraq as a human shield for Saddam's regime

"She seems to be popping up everywhere."

Rumor has it she's dating "Tourist Guy".

Hey Uzma, unibrows are so post-revolutionary. Tweezers are our friend.
