To paraphrase Bugs Bunny, "What a bunch of maroons." So all is not wine and roses in beautiful downtown Baghdad. Too bad, so sad!

At the Andalus hotel five kilometres away, Dr Abdul Hashimi, the official overseeing their mission in Iraq, had issued the shocked group with an ultimatum: deploy to the "strategic sites" hand-picked by the government or leave immediately.And so they left - except for O'Keefe and his significant mother, I suppose. After the war, we'll probably have to pay reparations for those anachronisms..

"We always understood that human shield meant a shield of humans and that we would be allowed to work with Iraqi civilians. Why it is being interpreted differently now?" It's not being interpreted differently. "Human shield" refers to a shield MADE of humans, and it always has. You guys are the ones who decided it meant something else. Suckers.

"...but they all shared one trait: naivety..."Actually, that's STUPIDITY.

Ken O'Keefe's insane ranting on Fox News was particularly entertaining. Anyone who saw him should have no doubt about the "messiah complex" the author described.

Man, this is great... 20 Iraqi Oil Refinery guards for every 8 'human shields'-I wonder what that means!! (besides the fact that there is plenty of food and water right next to the refinery)

what a well written commedy! I laughed my ass off .... £500 spent on prozac - I have to go pick up my ass off of the floor because I laughed so hard it just fell off!
Sounds like this is a script for a made-for-TV movie - I'd watch it and I'd laugh my ass off again!
Thanks for the laugh

I still think O'Keefe ha a deal to decamp at the last minute, leaving his mum behind.
I wonder what the terms of her will are.

This is to much...
Not all the sites were as welcoming. Daniel Pepper, a 22-year-old student from Pennsylvania, was not fooled by the oil refinery, despite the comfortable beds with parcels of goodies laid out on the pillows. "The people staying there sleep 50 yards from stacks billowing black smoke." he said. "And it's sinister: 20 minders are there for eight shields. There are three security gates, including one manned by plain-clothed guards carrying AK47s. Most shields want to get out of there and go to the granary.
LOLOLOL!!!!

a £500 donation from a well-wisher in Istanbul was squandered on boxes of Prozac in a misguided attempt to cheer up the war-weary Iraqi civilians. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! What a waste! Couldn't they find any good hash?

Truly candidates all for the yearly Darwin Awards. The gene pool really needs some serious flushing.

boxes of Prozac in a misguided attempt to cheer up the war-weary Iraqi civilians Prozac will get you through times of war better than war through times of no prozac.
