BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The U.S. civilian administrator in Iraq predicted Saturday that Saddam Hussein will be tracked down, but warned that the threat from "foreign terrorists" infiltrating the country would persist even after Saddam is captured and the remnants of his regime are hunted down.

A U.S. soldier was killed in Baghdad on Friday when a stray bullet from "celebratory fire" struck him in the head, according to a senior defense official. Unidentified Iraqis were firing weapons into the air some distance from the 1st Armored Division soldier when he was killed, the official said.

This "celebratory" gunfire has got to stop. Don't these idiots realize that what goes up must come down? And now it's killed one of our soldiers.

"We are going to get Saddam too," Bremer said. "The only question is who is going to get $25 million and move to another country."

You can't win, if you don't play!

"We are going to get Saddam too," Bremer said. "The only question is who is going to get $25 million and move to another country."

You can't win, if you don't play!

For $25 million, I don't know why the entire country of Iraq can't be flooded by bounty hunters of the "ex-Special Ops types". Sort of like big-game hunting of Saddam for the big trophy prize and the for the rest of these foreign terrorists a complimentary $5 thousand per head (or ears). Some heads displayed on pikes at the entrance to various towns with signs identifiying them as having been "foreign terrorists" or "Beware! Foreign Terrorists Welcome!" nailed to their heads.

Question: How do you fight terrorism? Answer: With terrorism! (against the terrorists only)
