    Get some US assasin. Let him find Sadam and trail him. He then phones back to Bush and says "Scope is on", Bush presses the Declare War button. War is declared, the assasin is told, he fires, phones back, Bush pushes the War Over button. Presto. :rolleyes:

      I see Megan has already answered you, but I must just point out that "Exactamundo" is probably the more accepted spelling ;) "The folly of man is that he dreams of what he can never achieve rather than dream of what he can." "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance."

I see military personnel being interviewed still seem to refer to the "allies", but politicians and journalists now use the phrase "coalition forces". Does it have something to do with old "allies" not wanting to have anything to do with this war? Of course, I expect you to know the answer to my question Roger :-O

              Hey I was just wondering about this idea. Bush, Blair and others say their primary objective is to get rid of Saddam. Now what I was thinking is this: - Instead of spending billions and billions of $s, why didn’t they just hire 3-4 of the world's best professional killers and paid them to kill Saddam. They could also have tried to bribe some of Saddam's inside staff (by offering them in excess of 50 million or so) and made it easier for the killers. Just wondering. I mean it'd have saved a lot of money, a lot of lives and we wouldn’t have had to suffer endless coverage on CNN. Nish

                      Actually, I think they tried that (Operation Decapitation), only they used the amateur assasins in the CIA and DOD, probably since they were already on the payroll... As with programmers, with assasins you get the quality you are willing to pay for, it would seem. Should've "outsourced" it. :rolleyes: Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped. - Elbert Hubbard

                              fuck ups Nish. A lot of people assume that Sadman is an idiot. They be wrong. The dude is pretty switched on, if a bit nuts. Apparently he has a harem of doubles (some of which have been killed mistakenly) and sleeps in a different tent/palace each and every night too. I am pretty amazed that they can't track the real guy. But then they can't even track a chemical weapons plant (I keep asking myself that. Iraq is not THAT big. Surely they have every square inch photographed? But they keep cresting dunes and seeing things they were not expecting. Very weird IMO) so go figure. So they have tried, they just haven't managed to. So now the plan is to corner him in some Baghdad turkish baths with nowhere to run. Then they can chop through his doubles until the real one emerges. Then again, as Stan mentions, Sadam and his bro may be dead already.
