"They are terrified," said one army captain, clad in a blue beret. "They won't surrender at the first shot. They will surrender when they hear the first American tank turn on its engine."

OPPORTUNITY: Recruit them to do the street fighting in Baghdad. Capture the troops and tanks, put special "friendly" markers on them, and send them in against Saddam's Guard units.

They can help fight for their country's freedom.

Actually, given how the general Iraqi population hates Saddam, these "friendly" troops will get back to Baghdad a bit too late to fight Saddam because I have a feeling a good fraction of the Iraqi military--knowing they're fighting for a loser--will turn on Saddam and before you know it Saddam Hussein, his inner circle of advisors and closest supporters will most likely be dead from gunfire or from a local mob more than happy to lynch them on the spot. Why do I have this feeling that Saddam will meet the same fate that befell Benito Mussolini? (For those who haven't read up on history, Mussolini was captured in northern Italy right at the end of the European phase of World War II by anti-fascist partisans, executed, and their bodies hung up in public square, where the local crowd jeered and desecrated his body.)
