The Defense Department has pulled
out all the stops in an effort to locate Saddam Hussein and his
henchmen. After months of secrecy, we are able to report that
Rufus Mudsucker, embedded with elements of the 92nd RTO
division, has been operating in Iraq since before the war in an
effort to track the 'butcher of Baghdad'. Rufus filed this
exclusive report today...

Security: Your Eyes Only
Location: Somewhere in Eastern Iraq
After months of top secret work behind enemy lines, I am able to
report that the 92nd RTO division is hot on the trail of Saddam
Hussein.
In early November, electronic listening stations at RTO Online
world headquarters picked up rumors of Saddam taking delivery of
rental merchandise. This was just the break the 92nd had been
waiting for. A special ops team, codenamed 'friday-close' and
led by Colonel Skip Towne, was secretly inserted inside Iraq to
search for clues. Here's what they learned.
On November 12th, 2002 Saddam rented a Bigscreen TV and leather
recliner from "Mother of All Rental Purchase" or, as the locals
refer to it, 'MARP'. MARP is the largest Rent to Own company in
Iraq with convenient bunker locations in Baghdad, Tikrit, Basra,
and Karbala.
In a blatant, sadistic violation of the rental agreement, Saddam
began to move from palace to palace with the big-screen! CENTCOM
initially believed Saddam moved around to avoid allied bombs. In
reality, it was to avoid rental payments. The cruelty of this
despot is unmatched.
Colonel Skip Towne
Commanding
"We've been air dropping door hangers with Saddam's picture and
a description of the merchandise for weeks. Our special ops
teams are following up on leads and combing Baghdad as we speak.
We find the merchandise, we find him. It's just a matter of
time."
The 92nd RTO division is made up of rent to own account managers
recruited by the CIA. The 92nd's motto: 'You can have the
night, we own the BOR'. Huuuahhhh
Ready to mobilize at a moments notice, this fearless group of
dedicated men and women are the finest examples of American
entrepreneurial spirit.
With sentries patrolling the perimeter at night, the troops have
time to reflect on the dangers inherent in their mission.
"Others are wearing helmets and flak jackets", says Spec. Harvey
"Retail" Jones. "All we have is a tie and a smile." "Sometimes
we carry a clipboard, but only under extreme circumstances."
With a look in his eyes that troopers call the 'thousand yard
stare' he adds, "When things get really bad you have to fall
back on your training. It's automatic...you don't even think
about it." The others fall silent and nod knowingly. It's a
camaraderie shared only by a chosen few.

Most embedded reporters are assigned to front line infantry
divisions. Not me...I wanted to be where the action is.
More later. I'm having lunch with Geraldo who has promised to
show me a confidential map of all the Italian gun emplacements
for the Ethiopian campaign.
As we slip silently into the Iraqi desert, we pass a Bedouin who
whispers "who are you?" I reply in my best Connery, "My
name is Mudsucker.....Rufus Mudsucker.
Note to corporate: Somebody tell Griffaw to
unlock his wallet and spring for a video phone.
