Hum...

[Commander8]

Foolish doesn't even begin to describe the actions of these people.

[ecurbh]

Darwin awards, here we come!

What a bunch of maroons!

[F.J. Mitchell]

Human shields should be treated with all the courtesy, respect and sympathy shown sand bags around a bunker-that is what they have chosen to become.

To hell with their traitorous hides, whether they be Americans or anyone else!

[Brad’s Gramma]

, we would obviously do what we could to get the individual out.

Why?

[gov_bean_ counter]

What can you do about adults who willingly and foolishly place themselves in harms way. Absolutely nothing.

Reminds me of the idiots who would not evacuate Boloxi, MS when hurricane Cammille was bearing down. Emergency folks went from hotel room to hotel room, house to house getting the names of the next of kin. Over 200 perished.

[Hoverbug]

I believe the human shields are about to learn from the school of hard knocks that actions have consequences.

[LaGrone]

These idiots' actions are hilarious.

[mabelkitty]

SSsshhh! We're trying to keep this a secret. We're using it to thin out the weakest of the human race.

[Lady Jag]

Those people have death wishes and are too chicken to off themselves, so they put a screen name on it, calling themselves human shields, and the media makes a big deal of it.

Dear human shields,
You mean nothing to anyone. I can't tell you to get a life because apparently you don't want one. I don't care. Sayonara and if you survive, don't bother coming back.

[CindyDawg]

We didn't help them get there and I don't think we should risk our military trying to help them get out. Let them find their own way home.

[Amerigomag]

"These people are, frankly, quite foolish for putting themselves in this position.."

Here in lies our only real dilema in our Iraq policy. What to do with the human shields that the UN has now positioned in Iraq and how to convince the Security Council, especially the French, that sending more is cruel.

We aren't going to be deterred by the substantial and regretable possibilty of the loss of life of UN inspectors.

I'm keeping a sharp eye open for any excuse that removes UN weapons inspectors from Iraq in the next two weeks. I think everyone is hoping that Iraq will do something foolish which provides this excuse.

[Russian Sage]

The battle shouldn't be their biggest worry. If they survive
they will have to face the wrath of the liberated Iraqis.

[doug from upland]

Do not risk the life of one soldier to rescue these idiots.

[Jorge]

I think they should be allowed to fulfill their roles as "human shields" for Saddam.

If these people have so little sense of self importance in this world, that they can only find it in defending a murdering dictator who's favorite hobby is oppression, torture, gasing people and creating weapons of mass destruction etc. then I say let them die with him.

[#3Fan]

Saddam is a "scorch the earther" with a revenge streak a mile wide. When the bombs start falling and Saddam knows he won't survive this, he will grab some of these western human shields and torture them to death just to get back at the west all he can.

Liberals don't recognize evil and these human shields are going to realize how evil Saddam is. Iraq will kill more of these people than American bombs.
