We’re All Harry Now: Prince Harry Wins War In Iraq
“I’M HARRY.” No, “I’m Harry”. And “I’m Harry”. And “I’m Harry”. We are all Prince Harry now.
Anorak’s belief that Prince Harry will win the war in Iraq moves one step closer to fruition as the British troops take to wearing their ‘I’m Harry’ T-shirts.
Scrawled in blood-red dye on khaki tops, the message is seen by the Mirror as one of “defiance”. Our brave boys and girls will not kowtow to threats from the frothing-at-the-mouth enemy to do down young Harry Baseball Cap.
The paper says this is just like Spartacus, the film in which the Roman slaves rise up and proclaim one by one “I’m Spartacus”.
Of, course it is believed the real Spartacus died in battle and, chillingly, his body was never found.
But chin up, Harry. The boys are looking out for you.
And in modern warfare there is a chance you will not have fight dressed in a pair of leather greaves and a loin cloth, armed with a lance and a catapult. Or fight at all.
As the Sun reports, Prince Harry will only be sent to Iraq when his comrades have given the all clear that it is, er, safe to do so.
The plan is for soldiers in Harry’s Blues and Royals regiment to arrive in Iraq before him and familiarise themselves with the terrain and the enemy. All being well, they will clear the area of insurgents so making it safe for Harry when he arrives to lead his troop.
A source tells the Mail: “Everyone has sympathy for the prince but it is an increasingly difficult situation and one that is changing day by day.”
Of course, this is all part of Operation Spartacus.
Anorak realises that Harry’s arrival in Iraq will coincide with the order “Ginger Biscuit”, a trigger for all military personnel in that war-torn land to don a red wig and take hold of a small bottle of alcopops.
The enemy will race out of their rat holes to take on ‘Harry’. They will be overpowered and slaughtered.
And the best bit is that Harry need not go to war. Just the spectre of his presence in Iraq will be enough to secure victory.
Tally-ban!

Re: your Prince Harry Story
Nice angle, neat picture to illustrate it too. Just so you know the I’m Harry project started as a simple enough idea but has now apparently grown into an internet phenomenum. And the Army Benevolent Fund gets to benefit too.
The message is simple enough - think Spartacus and bloody minded loyalty and support, then apply that to Prince Harry. He’s brave enough to want to go to Iraq despite the insurgents putting a price on his valuable head. Yet in doing so his presence brings more ever present danger to his regiment and every serving solider in Iraq. So what can we do? Lets confuse the enemy we thought.
I’m Spartacus, I’m Harry, we’re ALL Harry now.
And if the insurgents are using the web to instill yet more fear why don’t we use the web to generate support for everyone serving in Iraq. So we did. http://www.imharry.com we called it. And we have hundreds of orders from around the world - Brazil, Mexico, the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, 6 European countries and, of course the UK.
It’s caught something out there - mood, zeitgeist, attitude whatever and thats helped put the spotlight back on the reality of what the soldiers are facing and whats happening in Iraq. Daily. Thats no bad thing. “

I see that someone is to make an embedded documentary about Prince Harry serving in Iraq. Frankly it isn’t going to score any propaganda points for the troops serving there. Far more effective, far funnier and far more defiant is the ‘I’M HARRY’ T-shirt campaign. Based on the simple but wildly effective notion that Kirk Douglas made immortal in Spartacus, the campaign takes the slogan ‘I’m Spartacus and moves it into the modern age with I’m Spartacus, I’m Harry. We’re ALL Harry now. If the insurgents can use the internet to run a PR offensive across the Middle East there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be using the power of the web (their web/our web) to harness support for every serving soldier in Iraq. The website is http://www.imharry.com, more details from imharry@btinternet.com & - the shirts are raising money for the Army Charity - the Army Benevolent Fund.
There’s some smart thinking here - if we all do our bit as a decoy then not only is it dangerously funny in trying to confuse the enemy but it also highlights the relatively unnoticed continuous bravery of the serving troops and their readiness to step up the plate when the insurgents make their threats against the Prince.It’s got people talking, it’s picked up a lot of publicity along the way with word of the ‘I’M HARRY’ campaign spreading like wildfire around the internet in the last two weeks, there are http://www.Youtube.com entries(http://youtube.com/watch?v=6Jy3F3KBOr8) and photos of the shirt in worldwide locations being posted all over the internet.
