#1 In this case I have to side with the Iraqi officials. I mean, it's like buying a condom with a hole in it: if it doesn't protect anything, what use is it? So long suckers...

#2 You mean their deeply held beliefs might actually cost them? But their conviction is so sincere! Welcome to the real world, asswipes!

#3 Give them a friendly salute. After all that was the fastest way to get a Iraqi visa and take a look at Baghdad without much hindrance.

If no one says thank you, Langley will.

#4 Let's have a good dose of public ridicule to balance the romanticized fluff interviews they all gave before they left for Baghdad. My only regret is that they left alive..I was hoping for a little chlorine in the gene pool, Darwin-style.

#5 I can see how this would seem like fun. Hop on a bus, tour across Europe and wind your way down to someplace exotic.

Of course that's until you realize that this might actually result in your demise. That's such a buzz kill.

#6 Goes to show that these frickin' morons simply do not get it. They acually believed that Sammy would "see the light" simply because they rode in on their Magic Bus. I say don't let
em back in - they made their choice and they should be made to abide by it as it was decided on freely. It's tough to watch someone die due their own stupidity , but that's nature work. Good luck, morons.

#7 The Iraqi warning follows frustration among Saddam Hussein's officials that only about 65 of the shields had so far agreed to take up positions at the oil refineries, power plants and water-purification sites selected by their hosts. It heightened fears among some peace activists that they could be stationed at non-civilian sites.

Well surprise, surprise. Apparently, they just figured out that what is likely to be attacked aren't civilians. People have been saying this all along, and these dumbasses weren't listening.

#8 AWW,

First we have to accept any democratic voting, it is really shamefull to see some readers here acting so arrogant thinking that democracy doesnât exist outside the US. Secondly Bush is not a tactful politician as he has not the succes and simpathy of Clinton outside the US, I donât know how it is inside the US. He set of a lot of angry blood in Turkey calling the Turkish call for compensation of the damage the US brings with every war she starts in the middle east a horsetrading and randsom, all the blackmailing with threathening to establish a Kurdistan was the other dimension. One can see this as an answer to Bush from the Turkish parliament: stick your so called randsom right up in your â¦.., and stop making us sick with all your blackmailing.

regards,
