Psyops brings out "Zsa-Zsa" Saddam

US forces are superimposing Hollywood images over Saddam on posters used to taunt him and bring out his followers who seemed to act irrationally when prevoked by insults.

"...In one called 'Zsa Zsa Saddam', he has his head tossed back, his blonde locks flowing and a filter-tipped cigarette dangling coquettishly between his delicate fingers."

"...In a campaign starting this week, US forces plan to put up the posters around Saddam's home town of Tikrit.

"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."

"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," said Lt. Col. Steven Russell.

"...The gambit is part of a game of cat-and-mouse Lieutenant-Colonel Russell and his unit are playing with Saddam loyalists in the Tikrit area.

"Apparently intimidated by the US Army's heavy presence around town, more and more guerrillas are stashing their weapons and keeping a low profile, US commanders say.

"US forces are trying to flush them out and hunt them while they can."
