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!

What makes this so funny is the fact that these people are so stupid, ignorant, etc. "Rules? You mean I have to follow rules in order to get into someone else's country?"

Greenpeace protesters board Gulf-bound ship


Greenpeace protesters have boarded a military supply ship in an anti-war protest.

Five campaigners from the conservation group have managed to get aboard the MV Lyra while at anchor in the Solent off Southampton.

The Lyra was awaiting a pilot to take her into Marchwood Military Port on Southampton Water when the protesters got on to the ship and set up a "peace camp" at the stern of the vessel.

The Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior is also at the scene.

The Lyra is carrying military vehicles on its decks for possible deployment to Iraq but Greenpeace said they did not know what was in her hold.

"This is part of Greenpeace's global campaign to prevent a military attack on Iraq which will kill thousands of civilians. This war is not justified," the spokesman said.

The protesters were hosed with water by the crew of the ship and a police launch was at the scene, Greenpeace said.

WHY RUIN THEIR FUN?

I say LET them hang there until they get to the GULF!!!

Don't the guys painting the "bow bulge" get that it will be UNDER WATER the whole way?

Proves just how smart they REALLY are!!!

HOWEVER THEIR SUCCESS IS CATCHING ON:

"Stage handler Ube Evans, 50, originally from Hay-on-Wye, said:
"Somebody's got to save humanity from themselves. I'm very scared. The whole point of being a human shield is that we can change public and world opinion."

Joe Letts, of Shaftesbury, Dorset, a bus operator who organised the transport and is also taking part in the project, said they expected thousands to join them as they travelled through Europe and he hoped the public would show their support.

The journey is expected to take around two weeks and if war did break out before they arrived Mr Letts said they would "drive into the conflict".

THIS I GOTTA SEE!!!

explain to me why I can't catch my breath

It's the corned beef ...

he drove a van packed with corned beef to aid Hungarians

Humor is all in the details, and you just can't stop visualizing the "apostle of corned beef" ... only now nobody wants the corned beef, because it's not Marxist to eat corned beef, don't you care about the oppressed corn? or it's not Moslem to eat corned beef, don't you know beef isn't hallal, or is it pork ...

It's the details!
