Default U.S. "HumanShields" called WANKERS by Iraqi citizens

I'm allowed to watch TV at work so I have been watching CNN for the last three weeks. Anyway, our Troops are now literally in the center of Baghdad and Im looking at a live shot of a huge crowd of Pro-American Iraqi citizens.

They have made banners and such, one of which says literally:
"US HUMANSHIELDS GO HOME YOU WANKERS!"
Refering to the US anti-war protesters who went to Baghdad to "protect" saddam hussein (no caps)

War is not funny or entertaining, but that is the funniest thing I have seen in war, ever.

If you can watch cable news, do it now.

I don't think they should have put up our flag either.

I saw it live on Al-Jazeera :naughty:
The soldier took up the american flag, and he putted it straight on Saddam's face :lol: after two minutes, he took down the u.s. flag and took the iraqi flag up to the statue...

What a dumb soldier.. Why does he put the flag, when he know that all the world will turn against him? And he was standing between thousands of iraqi's...wasnt he afraid? :rofl:

First US flag, and then Iraqi flag...

AH, are you being sarcastic?

Why do you think we are there?

They want us to kill saddam...............

He put the flag on his face as a symbol(Psych-Ops). His C.O. told him to take it down because we are liberators not imperialists.
Don't want to make a bad impression with the rest of the world.

Interesting how the one person outside of the USA knows what most people inside the USA don't:

The Iraqis are not in love with America. They just want America to get rid of Saddam because then it will be easier to get rid of the Americans.

Mike -- that was a dumbass statement.


No shit they don't want us to stay there. We're not going to and it was never a plan to. The whole reason we are there is to topple Saddam, and setup a new gov't.


Long term control of Iraq was never in the books. :doh:
