Iraq sends five human shields home (Leader, Former U.S. Marine Ken O'Keefe Told to Leave)

Lindsey Graham wants to see these human shields thrown in prison for their treason, and I totally agree that prison would be a fine place for the likes of O'Keefe.

Actually, I think we should pay to send all that want to go be human shields. Might improve the domestic breeding stock. Of course, no round-trip tickets.

NEVER BEFORE SEEN . . Saddam Prepares His Troops

"He renounced his US citizenship and travels on a $30 passport, something like a "Citizen of the World" passport."

It costs money to travel. Who is providing the fare for him?

If this keeps up, the spirit of Nelson will possess me permanently.

[demosthenes the elder]

considering how bad their agriculture has been going, can we say "soylent green"?

[demosthenes the elder]

more beer, sir.

[SquirrelKing]

HA HAW!

[Catspaw]

I doubt if Mr. O'Keefe has any visible means of support; however, his mother is travelling with him. My guess is she's kicking some bucks to support her sonny boy, but that's not his only source of funding, if you get what I mean.

If you go to O'Keefe's webpage, you'll see scans of correspondence from the State Department refusing to recognize O'Keefe's renunciation of citizenship because he has no other country to go to:

So he's still a U.S. citizen, no matter what he says.

[pfflier]

Oh crap, now they're back in the gene pool.

[livius]

They are "shocked, shocked" ...

At first I thought the "human shields" were malevolent traitors - simply because I couldn't believe anybody would be dumb enough to believe Saddam Hussein if he told them what time of day it was. But I see I was wrong...

[Ditto]

Former U.S. marine and current traitor, Ken O'Keefe, should be immediately detained upon attempting to enter the U.S.

If I recall, this clown turned in his American passport and renounced his citizenship. He ain't coming back here.

[Ditto]

hahahah - with any luck maybe he'll now go to N. Korea and be a "human sacrifice".

North Korea. Hell, he'll be on the menu there.

[Semper Paratus]

Unuseful Idiots.

[moneyrunner]

We need a reality check here. Having read "Stolen Valor" I want evidence that O'Keefe was in the Marines and served in Desert Storm. It's easy to make that claim, just as many have claimed to have fought in Viet Nam but never went there.

[mhking]

Go now. Talk later.

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

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

[Crusader_062002]

So let me get this straight. These guys went to a foreign country controlled by a dictator known to have used chemical weapons against his own people and were shocked to find out they couldn't do as they felt?

Huh.

These are the same people that advocate American soldiers question orders, dissent in ranks, and even assassinate officers if it becomes necessary to prevent wars. These are the same people who question our democratically elected president's evidence of facts as evident as the identity of the September 11th Hi-jackers. Yet they believed Saddam would allow them to do as they pleased.

Intelligence and reason are obviously not one of their storng points.

Oh yeah, and lay off the Jarheads. They're pretty good boys........for Jarheads.

[Catspaw]

You mean he can come back to the US of A? Oh, good....now there's that little matter of a warrant--oh, and treason (or other charges related to his giving material support to Saddam).

[Miss Marple]

Exactly how obnoxious do you have to be to get kicked out of Iraq by Saddam? I think that O'Keefe guy even beat Scott Ritter in that department.
