Prince Harry to Deploy to Iraq?!


I am no military strategist but doesn't it seem a little nuts to send one of the world's wealthiest and most famous people to the front line in Iraq? I know Prince Harry is a soldier and I think it's admirable that he wants to fight alongside his fellow soldiers. But seriously, even the other British soldiers are calling him a "bullet magnet".

The Royal Navy is going to have to expend some serious resources in protecting him from the crazies over there. If they don't do so I think its pretty likely that he could be shot or kidnapped by al Queda. It seems pretty counter productive to send a man who is third in line to the throne into a war zone. He will be a distraction and a target. Too bad that he won't be able to simply do his job as a soldier.

Wait a minute....maybe the Brits are onto a great idea. Maybe we can send some of our wealthy and famous people to Iraq. It wouldn't break my heart if Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, or Britney Spears was kidnapped in Iraq (or anywhere else either - please see my ad on page 45 of Soldier of Fortune Magazine). No one (except maybe a really hot Marine recruiter) will convince the triumvirate to enlist in the army but I'll bet it wouldn't be hard to trick them into going to Iraq. Just drop some small shiny objects on a table and while they stare vacantly at the pretty shiny things tell them in a soft hypnotic voice that there is great shopping in Baghdad. That would work.

Then fine folks in al Queda can do our dirty work for us. Can you imagine the scene when Paris (or Lindsey or Britney - insert name here) showed up in Iraq in her usual skimpy outfit? Muslim extremists would throw a blanket over her and toss her in the trunk of a car faster than you can say, "Iran's got nukes."

I am pretty sure that the US govt. wouldn't rush to rescue them. Although the tabloids and some of LA's popular clubs would probably take up a collection to pay for their return and for the rights to their story because otherwise they risk going out of business. Yes my evil plan is taking shape now. Stay tuned for more information on "Operation Desert Bimbo" soon.
