#1 Someone in the American command structure needs to 'give' one of these flunkies a cell-phone, and tell him that we will only negotiate with Saddam over that phone. Then we need to have Saddam call us about every 2-3 hours, asking if the deal is 'on' yet. Each time, we need to pinpoint his exact location, but NOT bomb it. Keep this up for a couple of weeks, keep sticking pins into a mapboard. Once he starts repeating himself for the second or third time, then we swoop in on ALL of those locations at once, capturing anyone and everyone within a half-block radius. Toss out the little fish, lock the big ones down hard, and interrogate the middle fish. Should work. Hope someone in Baghdad or somewhere thinks like that, too.

#2 "Should work."

*g* Except that I really can't imagine Saddam being so stupid as to use a cellphone given to him by the Americans.

#3 Bah. If he's moving every two hours, he's not getting much sleep, is he?
