TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) 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 (news - Y! TV) 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.

this one leaves me speechless......

"We're going to do something devious with these," said a chuckling Lieutenant-Colonel 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 insane.

What fool thought this one up??

"military Intelligence"?

Our leader plays dress-up all the time, and his loyalists love it.

but ANY self-respecting Iraqi...whatever Saddam's sins...is going to hate this.

WHY are the American soldiers painting targets on themselves??
