C'mon. While I CAN believe this to an extent, doesn't anybody wonder if the Iraqi regular army, while surrendering, may think to themselves, "Ya know, these Americans look and talk just like us!"

I can't believe the word wouldn't get out as fast as possible to the rest of the population.

Man, even the Democrats aren't dumb enough to do something like this.

Heard awhile back...way back that Chechyn Muslims(sp?) were volunteering for Saddam's military. They have blond hair and sometimes blue eyes.

Iraqis aren't all dark haired and brown eyed. They have a sizeable percentage of whites and even blacks, arabs and persian types, and some even some oriental looks. Comes from being conquered here and there through history and from drawing a lot of people for "free education."

One of their diplomats at the UN looked like a pasty-faced red headed Brit.

The accents are more difficult, but they aren't short on well traveled palestinians, and some Iraqi isn't going to know a fake American, Brit or Aussie accent from a real one.

And of course, they don't need to do a lot of this- they ohly need to get it on their news once and in rumor a few times here and there to disrupt. The Arab world will believe just about anything.
