"I've been trying to go to Iraq with Hillary Clinton for so long. Hillary was trying to work it out, but it seemed too dangerous," the 20-year-old actress says in an interview in the September issue of Elle magazine, on newsstands Wednesday.

Lohan, whose screen credits include "Freaky Friday," "Mean Girls" and the upcoming "Georgia Rule," says she hoped to emulate Marilyn Monroe, who performed shows for about 100,000 troops stationed in Korea in 1954.

"It's so amazing seeing that one woman just going somewhere, this beautiful sex kitten, who's basically a pinup, which is what I've always aspired to be," Lohan tells the magazine, adding that she would prepare for her trip to Iraq by taking shooting lessons with her security guard.

A spokesman for the senator offered a slightly different take on Lohan's contact with the New York Democrat's office.

"It was suggested to her that if she wanted to go, she could pursue doing so through the USO," said spokesman Philippe Reines.

1. That's nice of her to want to visit the troops but what will she do

once she get there? Sing? Dance?

[MercutioATC]

4. Well, she also sings...if you want to call it that.

She's put out 4 albums, if I'm not mistaken.

7. Really? Didn't know that.

Thanks.

10. You're not missing much

:P

[CottonBear]

2. Note to Blohan: You can't carry a gun in Iraq & you're no Monroe. n/t

[Avalux]

3. She thinks she can carry a gun in Iraq and actually shoot it??

What a stupid child.

[Fridays Child]

5. Shooting lessons in preparation for a trip to Iraq?

Someone needs to sit that child down and give her a reality lesson.

6. Is that visiting falling down drunk or just mildly high?

[Mike Daniels]

8. While it's nice that she wants to entertain the troops

I have a feeling that part of this is a transparent attempt to do a little spin on her reputation.

9. She is no Marilyn Monroe, that's for sure. n/t

[Recursion]

13. She's got the drug habit, so she's well on her way

She's like an anorexic Marilyn on coke instead of valium. Some guy's like the "thicker" look Marilyn had; I think Lindsay is hot (though she was better-looking as a redhead).

Incidentally, I don't see why she should have much trouble going to Iraq; Jessica Simpson went there, after all. Just get your agent to call up the USO.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

18. she actually has some acting talent

but somehwhere along the way she started thinking she could sing and then went the paris hilton anorexic party girl route

[Rosco T.]

20. re: Who is Lindsay Lohan?
