Among the coalition\'s list of most wanted Iraqi officials are man named Izzat Ibrahim (he\'s the king of clubs) and a guy named Mizban (nine of hearts). This led reader John Piro to imagine Abbott and Costello at a Syrian border checkpoint:

Abbott: Now be on the lookout, Costello. We wanna find these terrorists.

Costello: Sure, what are their names?

Abbott: Izzat Ibrahim.

Costello: How do I know? I ain\'t seen him.

Abbott: I know. That\'s why we gotta find him. He and Mizban.

Costello: He musta been what, Abbott?

Abbott: No, not Hee Muzbin Wot. Izzat Ibrahim!

Costello: I told yuh, I ain\'t seen him! Is he Saddam\'s guy?

Abbott: No, he\'s Syria\'s.

Costello: I\'m serious too. That\'s why I wanna find him.

Abbott: No, you don\'t understand, Costello. Syria\'s terrorist.

Costello: I know he\'s a serious terrorist. They\'re the worst kind.

Abbott: Now, if you find him, call the U.N. and get Kofi.

Costello: I got some right here. With cream and sugar.

Abbott: No, tell Kofi to get Yassir.

Costello: Yassir?

Abbott: Good. Now get going.

Costello: Heyyyyy Abbbbbottttt!!!!
