Actor and pop singer Lindsay Lohan wants to go to Iraq, People magazine reports. “I’m not afraid of going,” she says. “My security guard is going to take me to a gun range when I get back to L.A., and I’m going to start taking shooting lessons.” Lock and load.

Funny that a young female pop star has bigger balls than Bush.
August 8th, 2006 at 12:54 pmSlow news day guys?
August 8th, 2006 at 12:54 pmLindsay… you don’t even have enough strength to show up to your movie set on time, how do you think you can handle the heat and stress of Iraq? And why do you need shooting lessons? Are you affraid the troops will murder you like they do Iraqi civilians? You’ll be safe, don’t worry.
August 8th, 2006 at 12:56 pmWhy does she want to go? Does she want to enlist?
August 8th, 2006 at 12:56 pmWTF, how stupid.
August 8th, 2006 at 12:57 pmSunis don’t take too kindly to partiers, Lindsay.
August 8th, 2006 at 12:58 pmHey anyone who is willing to deliver some entertainment to the troops in Iraq, god bless em. Our soldiers need a morale booster every now and then. I don’t think Lohan is a Bob Hope, but I think that if she put on a concert it would be well recieved.
August 8th, 2006 at 12:59 pmSo, Lindsay Lohan has bought into the republican spin that Iraq is hunky dory and that everybody is welcome to go sun bathe in Basra.
WTF is she thinking or would that be not thinking?
August 8th, 2006 at 1:02 pmDefinitely a SLOW newsday!
August 8th, 2006 at 1:04 pmAnything that’ll help that tart grow the hell up…
August 8th, 2006 at 1:06 pmIf Pamela Geller "Atlas Shrugs" Oshry can go to Israel, why not Lindsay to Iraq? Call it fate, call it an attempt to get nominated for a Darwin Award, call it what you like.
August 8th, 2006 at 1:07 pmPut down the pipe. Step away from the baggie. Breathe slowly. Time for a nappy.
August 8th, 2006 at 1:10 pmIf there was ever any doubt Lohan’s not the sharpest tool in the shed…
August 8th, 2006 at 1:11 pmDid anyone tell her there are no night clubs to get trashed in there.
August 8th, 2006 at 1:15 pmOff-topic:(not much of one anyway)
August 8th, 2006 at 1:16 pmAnyone know a link to the Lieberman/Lamont primary that shows exit polls or any info?
Will she be bringing Herbie?
August 8th, 2006 at 1:17 pmWho is Lindsay Lohan?
August 8th, 2006 at 1:18 pmIs anyone watching the bullshit by leibermans campaign people??????? I cant even type im so pissed.
August 8th, 2006 at 1:21 pm#18
August 8th, 2006 at 1:22 pmDo tell.
Turn on msnbc
August 8th, 2006 at 1:24 pm#20 no access to tv
August 8th, 2006 at 1:26 pm#15, there won’t be any exit polls. You can check with Jane at http://firedoglake.com for updates.
August 8th, 2006 at 1:29 pmGotta admire her spirit even though it’s cloaked in foolishness =)
I hope she was smart enough to hire a security guard that is an ex-seal, or covert-ops, to train her…
August 8th, 2006 at 1:36 pmYa I know a couple of soldiers in the 1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment. that would just love her company
Especially if she likes to take in lead and gasoline after sex.
August 8th, 2006 at 1:42 pmMaybe Lohan can take Paris Hilton with her instead of Hillary Clinton. Two flakes like that should really entertain the troops.
August 8th, 2006 at 1:44 pmShe really is self destructive
August 8th, 2006 at 2:18 pmNewsworthiness = little. Self-fulfilling schadenfreude value = high.
August 8th, 2006 at 2:28 pmNo doubt she will make the troops happy. No doubt at all. Anything that helps them get through the day is good by me. But why the hell is she going to take shooting lessons? Girls with guns? Maybe the Marines like that sort of thing, She would look cute in camo with an AK47 in her hands.
August 8th, 2006 at 2:33 pmNo Lindsy needs a gun because Iraq is the newest stop on the Dick Cheney People Hunting Tour.
August 8th, 2006 at 2:43 pmGreat, the troops will get to watch her go through the DT’s…..
August 8th, 2006 at 2:44 pmShe can barely drive her car without courting mayhem. For the love of Pete, don’t give that girl a gun!
August 8th, 2006 at 2:57 pmOH man, Lohan in a camo bikini, with an M-16, I think I need a moment.
August 8th, 2006 at 3:07 pmPlease, Lindsey, go. Make a better world for us. Thank you.
August 8th, 2006 at 4:13 pmIs this serious? What does she plan on wearing in Iraq? Since we’ve taken over, religious fundamentalism has led to persecution of women who aren’t totally covered. Hell, even men are at risk. Remember the story of the guy who was killed for wearing shorts?
Why the hell does she want to go anyway?
August 8th, 2006 at 4:27 pmG.Gordon Liddy will cream his calendar when he hears about this.
August 8th, 2006 at 5:16 pmI hear herpies the love bug is hitching a ride on over to Iraq with Lindsay.
August 8th, 2006 at 5:56 pmLindsey will never get near Iraq. Somebody will eventually tell her that Iraq is a completely DRY muslim country and she’ll flee in panic!
“Oh the humanity and all the poor people, unable to swill martinis like me and my friends.”
August 8th, 2006 at 6:40 pmOy, god. She’s of age — leave her there.
August 8th, 2006 at 8:38 pmWar zone. WAR zone.
If you think your little pink .22 is going to mean jack sh*t in a country with hundreds of thousands of professional soldiers and hardened urban warriors, then you should realllllllly think twice about leaving Cali.
“My security guard?” Heads up kiddo - security guards can’t keep government ministers alive in Iraq. You are a hostage situation waiting to happen.
August 9th, 2006 at 1:54 amThe Iraqis will shoot her dead, but too bad Dick Cheney does not go to Iraq with her > lol.
August 9th, 2006 at 4:21 amAm I alone in thinking about how shallow that statement is?
August 9th, 2006 at 5:55 am[…] Lindsay Lohan wants to go to Iraq, will take shooting lessons. Think Progress commenter asks: “Who is Lindsay Lohan?” [Think Progress] […]
