Thank God none of these cowards are in the military. Imagine relying one one of these ..amoeba..to protect your flank? It's even more disgusting that our fawning lamestream media isn't reporting this with the fanfare they used at the initial announcement of these pukes going into Iraq. These are despicable rejects of humanity.

"The ideals of a peace mission fell apart when human shields from Iraq began to suspect their trip was "sponsored" by the Iraqi government."

Personally, I believe that the "human shields" are just showing their true colors- YELLOW!

[slane]

"I don't trust these people any more."
This is priceless!! Is it possible that anyone could be so naive, so blind, so clueless? Did these blithering idiots really think that a murderous regime would have their best interests in mind? What fools!
"Blind panic set in." - my favourite line of the article.
I'll bet it did! This is what happens when you're guided by feelings rather than facts, and you believe that singing 'Kumbaya', or having a bunch of naked hippies spell words with their bodies, or your mere presence on Iraqui soil, will result in world peace. Realizing that you're about to be blown to bits by a B-52 must be a real downer, dude! This also tells me that in spite of the Left calling Bush a Nazi, they thought that they would be 'guarding' hospitals, and would therefore be safe, since they know that the US won't bomb civilian targets.

"But even then, in private he told me he may move to a different site. He felt the entire area would be carpet bombed by the Americans - regardless of human shields."

Not 'carpet bombed'. It would have been one JADAM right on center mass!

Where'd you get that sourcing? The Lincolnshire Echo is a pretty much backwoods paper. Used to be the local rag when I lived in the UK.

Nathan - who looked like he had not slept for days - bought a suit and hired a car, ready to make a break for the border.

He said: "I don't trust these people any more. I don't think we are going to be allowed to do what we want. I was here to meet the children and ordinary Iraqis. I don't want to go to a power plant."

In the words of Gomer Pyle, "SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE!"

[Sender]

Unbelievable. "I don't trust these people anymore." No shiite, Sherlock. What did they expect? They're protecting an evil dictator. Did they really think Saddam cares a whit about their idiotic causes? Or about schools and hospitals?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Has it occured to these morally obtuse people that there were 50,000 civilian "human shields" inside the World Trade Center, and that not only didn't it stop the Al-Qaeda, it was their very intention to murder as many of them as possible?

[arasina]

He said: "I don't trust these people any more. I don't think we are going to be allowed to do what we want. I was here to meet the children and ordinary Iraqis. I don't want to go to a power plant."

Hey, what's so bad about Saddam giving you an all-expenses-paid vacation? You wanted to meet "ordinary Iraqis"? Did you happen to think maybe Mr. Hussein wouldn't want you to see what he is doing to "ordinary Iraqis"? Remember when he burned those oil fields after Desert Storm? Do you honestly think he'd care whether or not YOU burn to a crisp this time around?

I wish these useful idiots would talk to some of the few survivors who were FORCED to be human shields in 1991.

[r9etb]

LOL!

The real value of this little article is its demonstration of exactly how modern liberals are wrong. These folks are actually shocked that Saddam Hussein is not reasonable and basically a nice fellow!

[mhking]

But few of the human shields I met had given real thought to the fact they may not survive the coming weeks.

No, actually, all they said was (c'mon, say it with me!) "Hold muh beer 'n watch this!"

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!

But even then, in private he told me he may move to a different site. He felt the entire area would be carpet bombed by the Americans - regardless of human shields.

Nah, it won't be carpet bombed. A single Tommahawk ought to do it. Open wide!

[Physicist]

Imagine what's going to happen to the remaining human shields once the war is over. Some of them are going to find themselves confronted with Iraqis who have been waiting--praying--for 20 years that the Americans would come and rid them of Saddam, but the only American they ever saw was some leftist wacko who came specifically at the very end to keep Saddam in power.

The human shield is going to be surprised by their lack of appreciation.

[Republican Red]

Anyone remember the scene from the movie "Independence Day" where the peaceniks were partying up on the building with signs about "love" and "welcome". The aliens targeted them first and blew them away. Everytime I hear about these human shields I think about that scene.

Father help those poor people, that they might open the eyes of their fellows.
