Does he feel lucky, punk?
2008-05-12
The Human Shield Movement has announced it reached its 10,000th pledge member. The lucky guy to sign on as a Human Shield Volunteer number ten thousand is Steven Morris from Birmingham. Morris has pledged to use his body as a “human shield” against an “attack on Iran” from “neo-con” President Bush.

Volunteers from 22 countries not from Iran have pledged to travel to the Middle Eastern country at a moment’s notice to place their “human shields” or in simpler terms, their bodies in front of “civilian” [quotes added by 2x4] infrastructure in Iran in order to “prevent what they believe would be a catastrophic and unjustified attack” from the “warmonger” President Bush.
All the moonbats concentrated in the areas of a possible high level of mil activity... Any ambivalence? Nope. I'll take it! ;-)
They think they're going to shield the baby milk factory. Wait til they find out that the Mad Mullahs™ want them to shield the centrifuge facility ...
While we believe if there were to be such an attack it would be catastrophic, especially for the Human Shields, weÂ’re not so sure it would be unjustified. We wondered if each of the Shields will be assigned large bold numbers for identification purposes if their worst case scenario is confirmed. We suggest each Human Shield also receive a form to fill out for future Honorary Darwin Awards.
Hard as it may be to imagine, a goodly proportion of the Shields have reproduced ...
As for their being able to travel to Iran at a “moment’s notice”, do these people have enough frequent flier miles so they won’t have pay full price for an airline ticket? Or do they care, after all this will probably the last trip they ever take even though they believe their Human Shield plan of defense will deter any attack by President Bush and the United States against Iran.

A “powerfully worded warning” was sent to the White House while spokesman for the movement, David Tyler, said “Traditional methods of protest are ineffective in the face of the neo-Con determination to implement their global vision”.

As to why these people believe their lives are worth anything baffles us. Life is cheap, war is hell, and if Human Shields are worth a dime a dozen then you could buy the whole lot for under ten bucks.

#14  JohnQC, I just wish they'd join also VHEMT and get it over with.

#13  Waaaaahaaaaaaaa! Chuckle, Chuckle and a tee hee. The "effective" Human Shield Movement flexes its muscles--So much bomb fodder. Wasn't Sean Penn part of this movement? Dopey Dupes. What's the downside of these idiots getting in the way of a bomb? Might improve the gene pool.

#11  Mike: Does that strike you as odd?

It should. But given the ability to handle standard fare of cognitive disonance by a common moonbat without even a headache or a recognition there may be something amiss, I am resigned to accept it as a moonbat trait.

But there is perhaps a slight subconscious hint within the moonbat's ...mind?... that not all is ok, so they seek to increase the odds for ending their miserable existence, thus driven to some sort of a bug zapper, as it were.

#10  Why wait? Send them to Pakistan's tribal areas and let the Taliban do the rest of us a favor.

#9  It'll last until they find out that there's no 5-star hotel with 24-hour catering outside the Nuke plant Baby Ducks Factory they are sent to 'defend'.

BTW: Most of these people are to self-centered to reproduce.

#7  Didn't they try this just before Iraq was invaded? I seem to recall the shields being furious when they were sent to guard military depots and such, given only pallets on the floor and cold sandwiches to eat. Didn't they all decamp for home in disgust just before the invasion?

#6  Two comments:

1. By volunteering himself as a human shield, Mr. Morris is committing a war crime in violation of international law.

2. If Mr. Human Shield is to be effective at shielding, it is only because he is counting on Chimpy W. Hitler, the bloodthirsty imperialist neocon tool of the international Zionazi-oil conspiracy, and the murderous mercenaries of the USofKKKA armed forces to hold their fire for fear of hitting him. That is, he's betting his life (literally) on the inherent decency of the "warmonger." Does that strike you as odd?

#1  Cool! Now we have elements that normally inhabit the shallow end of the gene pool that are self-excreting!
