You can't make this stuff up.

Clark said he hadn't seen the evidence of Saddam's war crimes, a comment that prompted adviser Chris Lehane to slip him a folded note. "You should make clear that Saddam is a bad guy," the note read. Clark glanced at the note but didn't return to the topic.

One thing's for sure -- we have a far better chance of catching Saddam than Clark has of catching Dean.

Wow, you can see how he draws on years of experience to come up with the plan "We should catch this Sadaam guy"

I think maybe I could be a general too.

When we catch Saddam, there will be more holes in him than in your average cheese grater. No way will he be allowed to become a martyr for the liberals. Kill him, then kill him again, just to be sure. Then kill him one more time for Scott Speicher. Then kill him again for the mass graves. Then take his pulse and kill him one more time for spite.

And the perfumed prince was 1st in his class at West Point, too. Standards have evidently changed over there since in the last half century, and I'd imagine leadership qualities take a backseat.

Of course we need to get him (duh), but dead or alive doesn't really matter that much, although more or less in one piece and recognizable does.

Sounds good to me but Saddam knows that he can be more trouble alive for Bush than dead, and when backed into a corner will make sure he's in a position to be taken alive. Just a little prediction. I could be wrong.

I would expect that Saddam (and maybe bin Laden) will turn up caught (or their remains will be "found") around the middle of the campaign season if the Bush people are smart. And the Bush people are smart.

I am confident that when Saddam surrenders, someone will shoot him in the head, then say, "What did he say? I didnt hear him through all the gunfire".

Yeah, I expect Saddam will die by his own hand during a raid. He will be found in a small office with a computer chock full of terrorist attack plans and child pornography. His pants will be down. And there will be a half-eaten ham sandwich next to his keyboard.

Agree to anything for his surrender. Interrogate him. Get a videotaped confession. Behead him and put his head on a pike in the center of Baghdad and the rest of his remains dumped on the French ambassador's doorstep. Just for the heck of it, give France 24 hours to surrender. Then refuse to accept it because they're too irrelevant to matter. Withdraw all dipomatic recognition of France as a sovereign state and tell the Germans they can have Paris if they want it. :-)

How about, "Clark must capture Saddam--and soon, or else he has even less chance of being elected." Personally, I like the sound of it.

Okay. And we can always throw in some "barnyard sexcapades", too. With pigs.
