Does anyone remember that the MEDIA served as "Human Shields" back in 1991! Those "Wonderful" MEDIA ratings boosting TV Images from Baghdad were being broadcast from a hotel which was built over the MAJOR UNDERGROUND COMMAND & CONTROL FACILITY FOR IRAQ!
Were it not for all the "Talking Heads" staying at the hotel, it would have been TOAST as we took out the bunkers beneath it!

Any chance they have laser designators attached to their skulls?

Yes, I know, but I'm planning ahead. That's the joke. Jeez.

The campaigners, organized as the Iraq Peace Team, have been draping banners over public facilities in Baghdad this week . an electricity station, a water treatment plant and, on Thursday, the Martyrs Bridge over the Tigris. ``Bombing This Site Is A War Crime,'' the banners read.
Since when was it a war crime to blow up a bridge, powerplants and water treatment plants?

``A country that can hardly provide water for its citizens cannot be a threat to the world,'' Why don't they just go and ask Iraq's southern neighbors.
To: Jimmyclyde
``I have no intention of being a martyr,'' Canadian Roberta Taman said. ``I'm here because I believe that the world wants peace and that we can achieve peace.'' Translation: I just wanna be thought of as a potential matyr for something I really, well, sorta really, believe in...

``A country that can hardly provide water for its citizens cannot be a threat to the world,'' Ignacio Cano of Spain said. Translation: A government which takes in billions of dollars from illicit oil sales just can't have weapons of mass destruction.....

Damn, again the spin in the media.... A group, all of 5 people. Well, that's what this photo shows. I was thinking maybe about 20 - 30 people protesting.
BOMBS AWAY!

Smart bombs could be dropped right through the window behind them! It'd be hysterical watching them standing there shielding a pile of rubble.
