This is the best I could do.

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

God may love 'em, but Darwin doesn't:

(To the tune of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town")

Oh! You better not sing
Kumbayah in Iraq,
If you go there,
You might not be back:
Darwin's giving out his "awards."

Oh! He's making a list,
With a quill pen,
Gonna decide
Who gets to have kin.
Darwin's giving out his "awards."

He'll find you in that bunker;
Don't go near that poison gas.
He knows if you're an appeasement freak,
So wave buh-bye to your ass!

Oh! Don't give me that spray
'Bout lovin' and peace,
Uday just raped
And murdered your niece.
Darwin's given you your reward!

How long before the woes of this futile trip gets blamed on GWB?

"You mean I have to follow rules in order to get into someone else's country?"

Actually, THAT was probably an honest mistake since people tend to form their conceptions of things based on what they know, and let's face it, the U.S. is about as lax as it gets with regard to law/rules at the border, and I am of the impression that Britain isn't much better.

Shortly after the Daisy-cutters do their job on them, I'm sure the Lib. press will eat this up. I too kind of thought about the 1212 Children's crusade, all that needs to happen now is for the French to sell them into slavery. Guys thanks, I needed a good laugh today.

[Blue Scourge]

Hey Ivan, add me to your ping list...you always post great stuff. :)

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Yes, but how about the concept of checking out the rules of the places where one expects to travel?

[PeaceBeWithYou]

If you do a search under his real name(Kenneth Nichols) you will find that he's wanted by several courts of law.

Here's his version of it.

In an act of consciousness and political action Kenneth Nichols (former US Marine and Gulf War veteran) renounced his US citizenship in March 2001while denouncing US policies of global domination and environmental destruction. Nichols has attracted international attention for his acts of political dissent which include his 1 hour and forty five minute documentary entitled ‘The United States of Hypocrisy – Hawaii, the Tibet of the Pacific.’ In the film he charges the USA with ‘conspiracy to commit fraud and genocide against the Hawaiian people.’ As a result of his activities in support of the Hawaiian Nation and condemnation of the US, Nichols found himself with ‘Bench Warrants’ unlawfully issued for his arrest and ultimately he left the US in November 2001, He is now officially seeking political asylum in Holland. Since then he has burned his US passport (which was returned to him twice by US officials) and is publicly charging the US with ‘crimes against humanity’ for its use of depleted uranium in Iraq (on his website www.uksociety.org). The US strangely continues to claim that Nichols is still a US citizen.

I would vote to let the Marxist flag-burner die with Saddam. Good riddance.

She also said on air just Friday that she's a big Ronald Reagan fan (i.e. in all likelihood a card-carrying member of the VRWC).

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Somebody needs to forward this to Rush Limbaugh. It's too funny to keep to ourselves.

Done!

" how about the concept of checking out the rules of the places where one expects to travel?"

Oh come on; we're taling about people who seem surprised that there was some danger involved.

[Wondervixen]

You know, afte all the hardships these imbiciles have been through, a firey death from missile fire might just be the most humane ending for them.

[nicmarlo]

For your amusement.

A real Comedy of Errors. Also, I was watching Signs this a.m. (with Mel Gibson). Something he said, I think, applies here. He told a story about two groups of people who, by chance, won something. The first group believes they won because "someone out there is looking out for them." The other group believes they had a 50/50 chance of winning, and they were merely lucky. Of the first group, he said, they do not believe in things happening as "mere coincidence." I do not believe these people's failures and fallings-out were "mere coincidences," either. : )

Couldn't they try for U.S. government funds to help with their mission?

[UncleSamUSA]

You know, the real tragedy here -- apart from the hilarious belief on the part of the human "shields" that their presence in front of a munitions facility in Iraq would actually deter US airplanes or special forces from blowing the facility to smithereens.... BWAHAHAH... how do you spell "collateral damage!!"...

No, the REAL human tragedy here is that because of this misguided and dysfunctional peacenik brigade of the damned, the hard fact is that South London has ONCE AGAIN, yes ONCE AGAIN, lost a 22-year-old-hairdresser who likes to party.

Oh, the horror, the horror.

[Stultis]

Acceptable, but, as you suggest, much too humane.

Better they are closely "questioned" by the Iraqis before Saddam (should he live so long) has their body parts strewn about bombing sites, and the torture videos later captured as an object lesson for future would-be defenders of homicidal dictators.

Thanks, That's it. B.S. meter, not stupid meter.

[Gunrunner2]

Silly thing is. . .these guys actually think they are doing something noble and brave.
Noble? No way, as it is innoble to demonstrate support for a bloody dictator.
Brave? Not a chance, as these people aim to be shields at locations that are not targeted. They will stand around schools, hospitals, water treatment plants, what have you, but nooooooo. . . .they won't stand in the front door of a ammo dump or "palace."

Cowards all.
