They've gone totally, absolutely, insane.....

[veracity]

I was hoping this was a joke....but it's not. The madmen who invaded Iraq have developed a new plan to lure out Saddam supporters. Not only is this totally insane....but it's another horrendous move by absolute morons who don't understand that humiliation is the very last way you win the "hearts and minds" of the Iraqis. Then they wonder why they hate us. Just read this clip from Excite News, and you'll understand my horror:

TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein has his head tossed back, his blonde locks flowing and a filter-tipped cigarette dangling coquettishly between his delicate fingers.

Meet "Zsa Zsa Saddam," the U.S. Army's latest ploy in the four-month hunt for the fugitive dictator.

In a campaign set to start on Monday, U.S. forces plan to put up posters around Saddam's hometown of Tikrit showing his face superimposed on Hollywood heroines and other stars in an attempt to enrage his followers and draw them out.

As well as Saddam dolled up as a slinky Zsa Zsa Gabor, there is a busty Rita Hayworth Saddam, a grooving Elvis Saddam and even Saddam in the guise of British-born rocker Billy Idol.

"We're going to do something devious with these," said a chuckling Lt. Col. Steve Russell last week, as he checked out a range of spoof Saddam pictures taken from the Internet (www.worth1000.com).

"Most of the locals will love 'em and they'll be laughing. But the bad guys are going to be upset, which will just make it easier for us to know who they are."


This is for real, it really is. But if Bush and Rummy want people to chuckle, here's a real laugh: http://cards.tvnewslies.org

1. Why no rap music, heavy metal, etc on speakers all over town?

Brought to you by Saddam!

2. Oh feckin' brilliant!

Let's just intensify every bit of hatred the Saddam supporters already feel toward American troops! Yeah, it'll draw them out alright, complete with a fresh supply of RPGs and suicide missions.:grr: Stupid bastards!

3. This doesn't even make sense

There are thousands of Iraqis in the streets everyday protesting our occupation. How are these pictures going to pinpoint who the pro-Saddam Iraqis are since most are protesting against us, not FOR Saddam? Such idiocy.

4. A PR stunt, a page from Daddy's playbook, or just plain stupid.

Why am I leaning to the letter? What brilliant mind thought this one up? Why do I think this is a directive emanating from the DimOne himself?

5. pretty simple theory in the right wing mind

insult a man and his followers by portraying him as a female, attacking his masculinity.
notice the female is NOT the barefoot pregnant in the kitchen ideal they demand, but a strong, independant, successful female which the right fears.

pretty much tips their hand, imo.

6. idea

Maybe they got the idea from those bush pics where his head is superimposed on a woman's body. Maybe it was dumbya's idea himself, after reflecting (as if!) on how those pics made him feel!

7. It's all part of the "Bring 'em on" strategy

and obviously coming from Bush, who thinks at about a 7th grade level.

11. Bu$h thinks at a 7th grade level? I would have to disagree.

Any student in my wife`s class of 5th graders could out think the court appointed spoiled brat. With very little effort. And not look like a drunken fool while doing it. That is my opinion and I`m sticking to it.
