#1 "He accused the forces of kidnapping Iraqi civilians and filming them on television as Iraqi prisoners of war."

Well, I accuse Saddam of kidnapping Iraqi civilians, dressing them up as soldiers, and putting them out to die for him.

#2 When you see those surrenders, many of the Iraqi soldiers have a piece of paper in their hand. It is a "surrender ticket", that we airdropped, entitling you to surrender. It currently specifies one or more persons, because the last time it only said one. And soldiers were telling us that lots more would have surrendered but they didn't have a ticket.

It is not clear whether or not the tickets had corporate sponsors, like McDonalds or Coke, but it would have helped finance the war. Surrender, and get an ice cold 12 ounce Coke free. Void where prohibited by law.
