The World Health Organization Is on First
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's 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 Hussein'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: Hey Abbott!
