"Human Shields": Just another way of saying "Collateral Damage".

Suppose the bombs started dropping tomorrow. I suspect a good number of these morons would suddenly realize this isn't a game, and would head for the border. What are the chances that Iraqi soldiers would see this western face, come to the conclusion: "Possible Spy", and shoot them. After all, in that army would you like the guy next to you reporting to his superior you let a "suspected" American spy walk away?

Americans tend to see the entire Iraqi people as the enemy.

No we do not. He is just saying this to justify his foolish actions. Useful idiot...

Some wear T-shirts imprinted with "Human Shield" in Arabic

 

Umm, are they worried about being shot at by people who speak Arabic, or are they there to act as "human shields" against (likely-) english speaking Americans?

I think that their choice of wearing shirts declaring their protected status in the "language of peace" says it all.

"Most schools and hospitals have their own generators. And the water purification plants only serve the rich 40-percent of the population," she said. "That changed my mind."

Oh, MY! That is just too damned funny! Gee, Antionette, do you mean to tell us *gasp* that there are "rich" people in the land of starving babies and crushing sanctions? OH! THE HORROR! Now, that would mean that the "rich" are getting wealthy (despite sanctions)? That would mean that maybe, just maybe mind you, some iraqis are using monies meant for humanitarian purposes are not. OH, MY GOD, NO!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I have been pissed of about the traitorous shields, but I'm starting to change my thinking. Burdening the Iraqis with hundreds of high maintenance leftists who are suddenly AWOL when it comes time to work might actually have been pretty smart if we'd planned it.

"I want to go for the Iraqi people. I don't want to deploy next to water and electric installations,"

They honestly thought we would bomb orphanages and hospitals..ON PURPOSE!!! How can someone hate their country so much? Hell even the Iraqis know we wouldnt, thats why they want the dumbasses around electric plants and such!!
