Irony Alert! Us Troops plastering Saddam's mug all over Iraq
Just saw it on CNN (sorry, no link yet).

American troops have a brand new "Wanted" poster that they're plastering on walls all over Iraq. The poster features a large headshot of SH on its top with pix of his dead sons on the bottom, their images crossed over with big "Xs".

Isn't it ironic? A few months ago, the troops were busy staging the toppling of SH statue, shooting up tile images of him on walls, defacing billboards that contained his image. NOW, they're busy putting his image anywhere and everywhere it might be seen with a gusto that would make the protective walls of a Times Square construction site look clean by comparison.

I'd love to see what would happen if an enterprising Iraqi got hold of a "Post No Bills" stencil and painted it strategically around Bagdad.

Are we the laughing stock of the world, or what?
