NEW PALTZ, N.Y. -- Three New York women calling themselves the Hudson Valley Peace Brigade say they're heading to Iraq Saturday for a 10 day mission of peace.

They set up the trip through a group called Voices in the Wilderness. The international group has brought hundreds of people in and out of Iraq since the Gulf War as a challenge to war and U.N. sanctions.

We could send that bunch from Marin County, but the Geneva Convention bans blinding weapons.

You people are just mean! I'm going to take up a collection to purchase a few hundred little Bibles for them to hand to the children.

Heh heh...

Is Susan Sarandon from New York?

[gakrak]

Aid and comfort to the ememy, some call it Treason.
I would rather they were going to become human shields.

Perhaps this is where the 72 virgins per terrorist come from. I keep wondering what a virgin could do that would deserve eternity as one of 72 wives to a terrorist.

I heard this one this morning, said they were going to deliver art supplies, plant a peace (maybe piece) pole and dig ditches to hold water in case of war.

I will enjoy seeing them dig ditches. Probably the only honest work they will ever accomplish.

[You Dirty Rats]

That struck me also.

On the other hand, they are accurately calling themselves "Voices in the Wilderness".

Art supplies to Iraq's kids -- that sets the all-time record for "Kooooom - Byyyyyyy -- AHHHHHH" rating!

LOL!

[P-Marlowe]

Did you cc the Iraqi embassy with that comment?

[Fintan]

In case any of you are wondering what people without a clue do all day long...

 

[KLT]

They are so stuuuppppiiiiiddddd, makes me ashamed to be a woman!

[Capriole]

Are those the ones with the braided armpits?

No! Don't be ridiculous. That's such an insulting, sexist, racist, culturalist, species-ist remark! They only braid their armpits for weddings and funerals.

[sheik yerbouty]

I am ignorant of such quaint customs.

[zarf]

So sanctions are inhumane and war cannot be justified.

So what's the point here?

[zarf]

Nah, the US will be balmed for secretly releasing the poisons to pin it on Hussein. It's all so predictable you see....

[zarf]

or the US will be BLAMED....

[Bars4Bill]

Plant this "peace pole" in Baghdad.
