sounds like the "magical misery tour" is coming to take them away... take them today.....

oops, did I say "misery"?

[Brad’s Gramma]

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."

YOU STUPID IDIOT! With what means do you think your precious buses are traveling??? Solar power???????

Ivan, THANK YOU!!!

[Brad’s Gramma]

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

Vaporized, ok? Not flying around. Sheesh. Get it straight.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Holding my place.....

I thought the journey would be one long party.”

Just hang out in saddam's courtyard for a couple of weeks, until the REAL party starts!

Ivan,

I for one take my hat of to these individuals. Their willingness to sacrifice themselves for the betterment of mankind could be the single greatest contribution to the gene pool in this century. I only wish we could induce more of their kind to do their part as well.

[OneLoyalAmerican]

Oh, Mr. O’Keefe!

Before you join Saddam. This one's on me.

The closest sketch they come to is this one:

Voice Over: In 1943, a group of British Army Officers working deep behind enemy lines, carried out one of the most dangerous and heroic raids in the history of warfare. But that's as maybe. And now . . .

(Superimposed Caption on Screen : 'AND NOW . . . UNOCCUPIED BRITAIN I970'

Cut to colonel's office. Colonel is seated at desk.)

Colonel: Come in, what do you want?

(Private Watkins enters and salutes.)

Watkins: I'd like to leave the army please, sir.

Colonel: Good heavens man, why?

Watkins: It's dangerous.

Colonel: What?

Watkins: There are people with guns out there, sir.

Colonel: What?

Watkins: Real guns, sir. Not toy ones, sir. Proper ones, sir. They've all got 'em. All of 'em, sir. And some of 'em have got tanks.

Colonel: Watkins, they are on our side.

Watkins: And grenades, sir. And machine guns, sir. So I'd like to leave, sir, before I get killed, please.

Colonel: Watkins, you've only been in the army a day.

Watkins: I know sir but people get killed, properly dead, sir, no barley cross fingers, sir. A bloke was telling me, if you're in the army and there's a war you have to go and fight.

Colonel: That's true.

Watkins: Well I mean, blimey, I mean if it was a big war somebody could be hurt.

Colonel: Watkins why did you join the army?

Watkins: For the water-skiing and for the travel, sir. And not for the killing, sir. I asked them to put it on my form, sir - no killing.

Colonel: Watkins are you a pacifist?

Watkins: No sir, l'm not a pacifist, sir. I'm a coward.

Colonel: That's a very silly line. Sit down.

Watkins: Yes sir. Silly, sir. (sits in corner)

Colonel: Awfully bad.

And I'm warning these protestors not to get silly again.

Regards, Ivan

Is that "The Tourist Guy" standing in the back row second from the left in your picture on post #28?

[Gone_Postal]

quick bomb the damn bus

[TomB]

He takes his black bus, packed with the younger and more robust shields, via Amsterdam and Germany (with a stop at Dachau concentration camp).

I can see them all standing there, solemnly looking at the memorial, and saying "if only we had done something about Hitler sooner".

The irony is breathtaking.

[hellinahandcart]

One of the group’s three double-deckers has been abandoned in Italy with engine trouble

The head of the delegation, a former American marine, has been deported from Turkey

stranded in blizzards for two days

. Organisers told the human shields they must each stump up $1,000 before they could enter Iraq. In addition, they would have to leave their mobile phones at the border, cutting off all communication with home, and be subjected to tests for HIV.

Syrian authorities had told him he would not be permitted to drive his vehicle through their country because his mother works for the Ministry of Defence in Britain.

a sightseeing stop-off at Dachau concentration camp

the vehicle was too tall for the Alpine tunnels and scraped its roof.

Inescapable conclusions:

1. God does love these fools. He's sent them several clear warnings to turn back.

2. Most of them aren't listening.

bump

[RandallFlagg]

I remember on Fox and Friends, they interviewed Ken Nichols O’Keefe. When E.D. stated that KNO'K might be arrested for treason, he went nuts! E.D. was ready to commence the crushing of him, I could tell.

She IS pregnant, ya know...

[TomB]

You mean we'll have to actually pay for our beliefs and not be feted in Iraq for so very, very bravely standing up to the evil U.S. war machine?

I hope they make it and I sincerely hope there are cameras rolling when the dust settles after Saddam is gone, when they realize they are standing among long-oppressed people who see them as they are, people who tried to prevent their liberation.

The last recorded utterance before the crowd digs in:

"OOPS!"

They think they are in danger BEFORE the bombs start falling, wait until AFTER.

the Mother of All Human Shields has to bring his mommy along as HIS human shield

This is truly a scream. dittos... hic... hic... hic...

I thought the journey would be one long party.”

That sums up their mentality. It's all a game to most of these idiots. They do not understand reality. sad
