Modern version of this:
Have a news story break about how the standard Army / Marine gun lubricant is just not doing the job in the dry desert conditions. Proceed to explain how the new lubricant is now made out of pig fat and how it improves the performance of all military weapons. You could even include on how this causes controversy - infected wounds from the pig fat, etc.
Translate and play on Iraqi TV.

Ever hear of the Sepoy riots? Parallel rumors got started. Muslims heard that the cartridges were greased with pig fat. Hindus heard that cow fat was the lubricant of choice. Nasty scene!
