Sean Penn, just back from his three-day "fact finding" trip to Iraq, turned on his new pals in Saddam Hussein's government - claiming they've transformed him into a weapon of mass propaganda.

Penn and various Iraqi bigwigs seemed to be fast friends on Sunday when the star issued a statement saying, "If there is a war or continued sanctions against Iraq, the blood of Americans and Iraqis alike will be on our hands."

If you think Sean Penn was so naive to go to Baghdad and think that the Iraqis wouldn't use him as a propoganda tool, I have a bridge to sell you that goes from Downtown Brooklyn to City Hall in Manhattan. Any takers?

Maybe Penn thought his comments were meant for local consumption only?

It's expected behavior from the generally low-intellect Hollywood set.

NOTE TO SEAN PENN: When you get in bed with a pig, don't complain when you get muddy.

"Buxbaum said Penn would not be available to answer that question."

Well if someone started "quoting" me with quotes I never made I'd be screaming at the top of my lungs about it.

It would appear that Penn did in fact make the statements attributed to him.

Perhaps he doesn't want to use the excuse that he said it but was in a drug-induced stupor at the time…

Yep, (see my post #3).

I think he made the statements, trying to impress his Iraqi pals, never dreaming they would actually quote him.

How ironic. Penn's sponsor on his pathetic anti-American trip to Baghdad was The Institute of Public Accuracy.

"The Institute of Public Accuracy."

The sign on their door whenever the Democrats gain power:

"Closed, see ya next election."

LOL! That works for me - except he's not much of a lily - more like a nasty weed.
