``You can imagine what this city would be like if it were cut off when some people need desperately to get to a hospital or to connect with the people on the other side.'' Translation: You can imagine what this city would be like if people on one side didn't want to go to the hospital on that side, but insisted on going to the hospital on the other side...

No point in wasting JDAMs unless the environment is target rich.

Just when I got rid of my computer game "Back to Bahgdad". I wonder if there will be a new release :)

What concerns me about these human shields is the validation they give to the tactic.
The Palestinian terrorists keep themselves, their operational headquarters, their bomb factories, etc. close to or in the midst of civilian areas. This is to make any retaliatory strikes by the Israelis propaganda victories, with lots of collateral damage.
Most civilized people abhor this tactic.
The Taliban and Al Qaeda embraced it in Afghanistan, surrounding themselves with innocent civilians.
In case after case, reprehensible people and cowards will crouch behind innocents, and even threaten their destruction, in order to hold the more civilized at bay, pondering the abhorrent choice before them. Do I allow these animals to win the day, or do I destroy so many innocents along with them?
Hobsons Choice. It is a tactic that is, of itself, a crime against humanity.
To: Jimmyclyde
God forgive me, but I hope they are the first to get blown up. Blown so much that none of their human flesh pieces cannot be identified.
I have had it with these cowardly, tax-a-million, grubby gross anti-american idiots

True, however in this case, these "soft" shields are voluntary. These people are flocking in to try to stop a GBU - 15 from flying in. Thats purely assanine!

I guess they have HMO's in Baghdad too.
To: far sider
Here's the last group of human shields used by Iraqis
At the end of the Gulf War, retreating Iraqis took about 30,000 Kuwaitis hostage in order to use them as human shields. The target presented doesn't always get identified as such.
Throughout history, civilians have always had higher casualty rates than the men under arms. This is one of the more pedantic reasons one observes refugees departing their homes with no clear destination and why people take up arms to fight....to defend themselves.

Cool, more cannon fodder

Liberals are all---consciously or unconsciously---suicidal freaks.
Everything they do is a projection of that fact.
Before evolution became devolution, there used to be something that handled 'freaks of nature' called NATURAL SELECTION. Can the Planet of the Apes be far off?
To: Jimmyclyde
Stupid is as stupid does.
Think I heard that somewhere.
To: hapy; All
agreed, to a point.
god can forgive me or not, and it really doesn't matter.
i truly hope that not all of these pieces of shi'ite are killed in the first wave.
it would be satisfying to think that a few of 'em survive long enough to
get on daddy's cell phone and transmit the sound of bowels being emptied as the second wave approaches ...

``A country that can hardly provide water for its citizens cannot be a threat to the world,'' Ignacio Cano of Spain said. That's right, a country that WON'TT provide water to its citizens couldn't produce any anthrax or mustard gas or VX or...oops!
I'm going to rename you Ignacio Cabeza de la Mierda...
