http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=578&e=2&u=/nm/20031126/ts_nm/iraq_general_dcTIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. troops hunting Saddam Hussein believe he is still in Iraq, but if they can't yet catch the ousted dictator they say they want to be sure he is cold, constantly on the run -- and preferably losing weight.
"My guess is he probably has a plan to keep himself nice and cozy during winter, while the rest of his people suffer," Major General Raymond Odierno said on Wednesday.
"But we're going to try to keep him running so he can't be comfortable and doesn't have enough kerosene...to keep warm. And I hope he's lost lots of weight," added the head of the U.S. 4th Infantry Division based in Saddam's hometown of Tikrit.
