. . . and they didn't even have a bus.

Most of the kids were sold into slavery when they ran out of money.

[LaineyDee]

Thanks for the post! I don't think I've laughed this hard in a long time! *wipes away tears*

[wakingtime]

"The group will hope their experience is more fortunate than Meynell’s previous experience of a similar peace convoy. In 1956, he drove a van packed with corned beef to aid Hungarians rising up against the Soviets. The vehicle was stopped at the border.

Everybody read this a few more times...then explain to me why I can't catch my breath from laughing so damn hard!"

YOU HAD A PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION?

REMEMBER,

"The purpose of Totalitarian Education NOT to instill Values, but to PREVENT your forming any...!"

Hey, they aren't gonna start the Bombing during Red Neck High Holy Days are they??? [Nascar Kickoff at Daytona]

No?

PRAISE ALLAH....!!!!

The REAL reason you can't stop laughing is because they ACTUALLY hope their trip will turn out better...if they DON'T get stopped...???

1956?

HEY...I'VE GOT IT!!!

"Die Hard Communist"

naaah...there probably WON'T be a "Jihad II"

dang.

And I've ALREADY got the "Radioactive Action Corpse" figurine market CORNERED.....

"HEY, IBRAHAM...STOP THE MOLD MACHINE...GO BACK TO ENHANCING URANIUM...FIRST TAKE THOSE NIPPLES OFF THE ALUMINUM TUBING!"

"I KNEW THOSE U.N. GUYS WEREN'T GONNA BUY THAT "BABY FORMULA" DODGE TWICE...!"

"HEY, CAN I BORROW YOUR COPY OF "1001 WAYS TO GAS AN INFIDEL? I GOTTA GO SQUAT IN THE BUSHES...SOMETHING ABOUT THE NEW MOON APPROACHING DOESN'T SIT RIGHT WITH MY GUT..."

[wakingtime]

"Nichols was quoted as saying, "The potential for white Western body parts flying around with the Iraqi ones should make them think again about this imperialist oil war."

That is an inexcusably jingoistic and xenophobic statement, especially from someone who claims to
represent "We the People."

To think that "white Western body parts" are somehow more sacred than innocents of other color or
origin.."

HEY,

....WAIT A MINUTE...!

THESE "PEACENIKS" ARE RACIST!!!!

I hope somebody KILLS them for their Hate Crime....

[Bogey78O]

Actually it should alert the other rocket scientists that their leader intends for them to get killed.

[AnAmericanMother]

You suppose there's any chance that these guys might be sold into slavery . . .

Nah. Talk about buying trouble!

"Oh him?" said Pug. "Oh take him and welcome. Glad to have him off my hands. I never see such a drug in the market in all my born days. Priced him at five crescents in the end and even so nobody'd have him. threw him in free with other lots and still no one would have him. Wouldn't touch him. Wouldn't look at him. Tacks, bring out Sulky."

Thus Eustace was produced, and sulky he certainly looked; for though no one would want to be sold as a slave, it is perhaps even more galling to be a sort of utility slave whom no one will buy.

This is one of the funniest things I have ever read! Oh, if only the wheels could have fallen off the buses because someone loosened the lug nuts.

[fella]

"I'd love to see someone with talent make a short story or play based on their misadventures. I am laughing at every thing these "Human Shields for Saddam" try to accomplish."

Did't Peter Sellers do a number of send ups on peaceniks and hippies back in the 60s and 70s.

[fella]

"Those few who arrive in Iraq will be forcibly put wherever Saddam wants them."

Which will be a cell somewhere and when the first attacks come they be murdered and it will be claimed that they were killed in the attack. With graphic pictures.

[WomanofStandard]

I totally agree. That bus trip would make a very funny play.

This could be a movie along the lines of "The Out of Towners". It sounds hysterical! LOL I can see how serious this loser bunch is....taking side trips to sightsee and being disappointed because they thought it was going to be like on extended party!

[goody2shooz]

...I thought the journey would be one long party...

Yikes!! As we've always known, these people are hopelessly out of touch with reality.

The only person I feel sorry for is Gary's mom, who works in British Intelligence.

Blackballed because her son is stupid and way over his head involved in this charade. I bet he visualizes himself as a truly unselfish idealist rather than the spoiled child of privilege the rest of us see.

Frankly I expect all of them to end up dead in the war zone. Human shields indeed!

[piasa]

This post's for you.

[kcar]

They are shoe-ins as the 2003 Darwin Award winners.

[neutrino]

They wouldn't be auditioning for a Monty Python skit, then?

[kcar]

These the same folks that think W is as dumb as a box of rocks?

[David1]

The US should round up these fools and help them get to Baghdad so that they can guard some Iraqi command and control facility from our JDAM bombs.

[AF68]

US jets just whacked a mobile command & control center south of Baghdad yesterday. Hopefully, it had several of these ratnik human shields tied to the roof.

[Indy Pendance]

One of you graphic arts people must put the tourist guy in this photo.

[David1]

LOL!!! That is why we need to get these losers to Baghdad. The earth will be better off without these fools. And the ones that survive will be besides themselves at the celebration of the Iraqi people after they are liberated. Then hopefully the liberated Iraqi people can finish off the job on any surviving "human shield" that the JDAM bombs failed to finish off.

[SAMWolf]

LOL! Some people are just meant to be losers their entire life.
