All this fuss by the river bank is mostly imo due to the fact that saddam has offered large amounts of money for any captured troops.

The bounty is $28,000 alive or $14,000 dead.

The average wage is $30/month

[edit source Fox News, BBC report different figure]

Although i doubt they would actually get this money, it amounts to quite a few years working out there!!

I hope out Tornado pilots are recovered by us, not them

He's paid the families of suicide bombers so its very possible that if he's in a position to pay out at the end of the day. Then he will.

Tornado? Confirmed or speculation?
