The story-a CBC News Online 'Backgrounder' was titled-Candanians Go to Baghdad as 'Human Shields.'

The CBC News Online article was picked up by the Matt Drudge Report in the United States and featured prominently over the weekend.

It described the growing anti-war movement against a U.S. invasion of Iraq.

The story said two Candaians Jennifer Ziemann and Irene Vandas both from Vancouver-were going to Baghdad to serve as human shields.

Funny, I don't see any Canadians volunteering to go to Pakistan, Indonesia or Israel to be human shields against attacks by moslems on infidels.

The message board is hilarious, some of our freepers are offering tips to the two hairbrained ladies like 'Read a good book, so you will be in a stationary position and more likely to get hit.'

Comments when Canadian human shields fail to protect against 2000 pound smart bombs:


White House: We regret to inform the Canadian government that Canadian nationals were among the casualties during today's bombing of Iraqi nuclear weapons research facilities.

Sadam: Stupid Canadians! Quick do we have any Frenchmen left?

Air Force: BULLSEYE!

Navy: Scratch one band of commies!

Canadian human shields: Oh, sh#t!

For some reason, I could not access the full article. But I can say this - if there are some stupid Canadians that want to act as human shields for Iraq, let them. Lets just put the Canadian government and the world on notice that we will not hold back on our attacks just because they are there. If they die, they die. It's their choice.

I don't have a problem with Canadians basking in the protective shadow of the United States, nor even their believing they are morally superior in doing so.

However, I do have a MAJOR problem with Canadians interfering with U.S. military operations.

Such troglodytes would be well advised that the U.S. has no compunctions against classifying its OWN citizens as battlefield combatants. Canadians attempting to disrupt U.S. military operations should expect no better, "moral superiority" notwithstanding.

I'm with you! By leaving Canada and moving to Iraq, they have raised the IQ's of both countries!
