| Iraq Says Foreigners Will Shield It from U.S. |
| 2002-12-24 |
| Iraq said on Monday it would soon receive the first batch of Arab and European volunteers ready to act as human shields in case the United States launches a military attack. "We are in the process of receiving the first group of volunteers who like to act as human shields," the secretary-general of the Iraq-based Arab Popular Forces Conference, Saad Qasim Hammoudi, told Reuters. "These people will be distributed to vital and strategic installations in all Iraqi governorates. We are expecting volunteers even from the United States and European countries. This is a practical Arab and international reaction to the hostile buildup of troops in the Gulf and neighboring countries." "I am defending the Iraqi people and their Leader from Imperialist aggression! This is so-o-o-o-o neat!" "Uh, yeah. Stand over here..." |

| #4 "This is a practical Arab and international reaction to the hostile buildup of troops in the Gulf and neighboring countries." Practical reaction? It also happens to be a war crime, Qasim. |

| #3 Wait until Iraq is liberated. Then take the "shields" and parade them around on Iraqi television as pro-Saddam activists. Then hand them over to the new Iraqi Justice Ministry. Truncheons, Moustaches, Action! |
