 US leaflet drops on Saddam palaces have little effect 19 Mar 2003 A series of leaflet drops on Saddam Hussein's presidential palaces has had little effect, a spokesman for the Pentagon admitted this afternoon. "This was our last, last attempt to find a peaceful solution to the problem," the spokesman said. "We dropped over a million leaflets on every single one of Saddam's palaces trying to get the guy to go, but he's having none of it." The leaflets, many of which appear to have been dropped on the site of the former Chinese embassy in Baghdad, seem to have been personal attempts to reason with the Iraqi dictator. "Look, there's sand all over the friggin' place – it's in our hair, in our eyes, in our tanks – it's a pain in the arse," said one leaflet, which was written by an American soldier in the Kuwait desert. "Can't you just leave the country or shoot yourself or something and save us all the bother?" It is not clear whether Saddam Hussein read any of the leaflets himself, but a Green Party MP in the Iraqi parliament criticised the United States for dropping the leaflets. "What a complete waste of paper," he fumed amid cheers from his colleagues. "It's bad enough dropping bombs on us without dumping litter all over the place. Look at the state of the streets now! How would they like it if we dumped millions of bits of paper all over Washington? I hope they're going to clean them all up when this is over." White House spokesman Ari Fleischer later said that picking up litter was not what President Bush had had in mind when he planned the post-war clean-up operation for Iraq.
