This is easily the most idiotic thing I have read yet: the U.S. Army intends to draw out suspected "Saddam loyalists" in Iraq by pasting up posters of Saddam Hussein's head on Rita Hayworth's body.
This volley in the propaganda war is SURE to work. Like the "Voice of Free Iraq" show, where the director quit last week because of the cheapskates in the "administration".
I mean, is this for real? And since it is, what does that say about the mentality of the people running the show that the propaganda tactics are at about, oh I don't know, the sixth grade level? Or is that being generous?
In that spirit, let me suggest a few other tactics that might work. The first would be the "Nyah Nyah Hour," a nationally aired radio show in which John Abizaid takes to the mic for an hour of taunting Saddam and his loyalists with the universal insult of kindergarten recess periods around the country. This could be supplemented with a television show called "Thumbing My Nose," a self-explanatory effort.
Of course, that would mean getting the radio and television transmitters up and running, and considering the country has maybe 3 hours or so of electricity a day, that's maybe asking a bit much.Another pitfall of the television program idea is that Saddam may already have a copyright on thumbing his nose. I hear he and Osama are duking out the intellectual property rights in some cave under Afghanistan.
Another tactic would have to include Saddam pinatas or as I call them, Saddamnatas. This is a very tricky trap. US soldiers will dress up in party dresses like young girls and stage a "birthday party." The theory is that when the Saddam loyalists hear that the little girls are going to beat a pinata shaped like Saddam (to whom the loyalists are loyal), the loyalists will attack, never once realizing they're stepping into an ambush.
Also, I think they should IMMEDIATELY begin shipping over some of those old "Ayatollah Assahole-a" t-shirts to Iraq. This will cause the terrorists, incensed at the mockery of the now-deceased Ayatollah, to come out of their holes where US troops can pick 'em off.
