And so let the cleansing begin. But make it quick cause there is someone above the DMZ that needs attending to.

Abdul Hashimi, the head of the Friendship, Peace and Solidarity organization that is officially host to the protesters, told the shields to choose between nine so-called "strategic sites" by today or leave the country.
Should make an interesting debriefing.

The ones who left may not achieve fame as Darwin Award winners, but they certainly have proven they are simpering cowardly liars.
Iraq told them to put up or shut up, and they left with their tails tucked under their bellies, whimpering.
Pathetic fools, I almost want to feel sorry for them---not.

Iraq's decision to force the pace was welcomed by some of those remaining in Baghdad. "It's only fair," said Uzma Bashir, 32, a British college teacher who is one of the team leaders. "We've come here as shields to defend sites, and now the Iraqis are asking us to make our choice." I respect this guy.
Ideologically, he is at total odds with me and I will shed no tears when he is blown to Kingdom Come.
However, he is willing to put his life down for what he believes in. That is quite a difference from the cowards of our American Left.

Too Too Funny! Bet it will be the lead story on CNN all day tomorrow.No! FOX will air it for humor, CNN will shelve it because it would be detrimental to the anti-war effort.
To: kattracks
What do the poor Iraqis think? Okay, these kind British people, came here, to protect us. Now, when they learn that they might be bombed, they leave? Don't they know that we will be unprotected by Saddam, whether or not they are here? Cowards, running home with their tails between their legs!

I'm sure some these cowards expected Saddam to put them up for free in the Al-Rashid Hotel with Peter Arnett in thanks for choosing to stand in front of their baby milk factories. I'll bet the Iraqi cuisine also left something to be desired.
Protesting war is hell. These chickens just couldn't tough it out.

Big 10-4. I was under the impression that if one were a useful idiot, one wanted to be somewhere that might be bombed.
What a bunch of losers! These idiots aren't even willing to put their lives on the line for something they supposedly believe in.

I hope some SBS, or Delta Force soldier has a nice LASER designator pointed right at Arnett!
