Currently in Iraq there are rewards for several of the ex-regime heads of the toppled government. They range from the tens of thousands of dollars for the lower level guys to $30 million for Saddam.

If someone or group of entrepenuerial-minded wealthy friends of mine would be willing to finance an expedition to Iraq for me and 3 associates, which I estimate would come to no more than $50k, I would agree to split all rewards my group might earn with those creditors 50/50. I cannot guarantee success, but my credentials with respect to small unit tactics, target interdiction, and direct action strike missions are available for viewing and are beyond criticism. I have technical and tactical proficiency, first hand knowledge of the region, and combat experience and competence.

This is not a joke. I am serious.

My desired deployment date after training, equipping, and gathering logistical info and intelligence is mid February. I have a "team" already available.

Anyone interested?

Buff, it would cost more then $50k

But I love the idea... maybe you can put some URLs on your uniforms... sell sponsorships!!

Think about landing a big fish in Iraq.... you could be on TV and tell everyone to check out ChatRoomRomeo!!

:lol:

Mike you were wrong with the first sentence !!

It would NOT cost Buff anything : )

It may cose YOU more !!

Buff I've seen pics of you from a couple of years ago and of course pics of you now - you're a bit thicker than you used to be. Are you sure you're still in shape physically to take on this kind of expedition?

Let it be known.. I am NOT going to say anything about what Carrie posted.. I am going to bite my tounge !

Meeeow! :nyanya:

The nicotine withdrawal begins....... :awinky:

HAHAHA she is right.

I hope Buff is just joking....

He has a cute fiance... he does not want to run around and get shot at.

The Penis Patch works!

Buff, good news! I asked Laura and she gave me permission to join you as soon as I get my life insurance and wills set!

Is this the one he met a few months ago??! :zoinks: That was fast!

You guys took my question the wrong way.
I wasn't being catty at all - I was being serious, as I feel Buff was being. This is something extremely dangerous that he's proposing and while I know some of his past military titles (which impress the hell out of me), I also know that it takes longer than 2 1/2 months to get back into being as limber as he used to be. He's still muscular as all hell and could probably throw me through a wall, but I said that he's "thicker" - NOT fatter. And I meant THICKER. As in less limber, less flexible, and most importantly - slower.
I think there's a serious difference between being completely toned and limber, and being buffed up to the point where your chest looks like a barrel and your arms and legs are tree trunks and the sheer mass of them hinders very flexible movement. Of course I could be wrong, as I've never been like that. It just *looks* that way, so I am asking.

Sorry for any misunderstanding, Buff; honest to god I did not mean to say "you're fat", and that seems to be the way it read. I meant you're bigger now and maybe less flexible, limber, and fast. If that makes sense.

Keep digging Carrie.... :yowsa:

Another two feet or so.......

Are you saying that his old uniforms might make his ass look bigger than it really is?

I know, I should probably just go back and delete those, because I doubt anyone is going to understand what I'm trying to say.

Put it this way...
You know Travis Fimmel, the guy who plays Tarzan? He's lean and limber. I can easily picture him quickly scrambling on his belly through a dark trench or kicking someone's ass in hand to hand combat.

Now take Arnold Swarzenegger - a huge tree. No one in their right mind could say he is fat, right? But he's THICK. I look at him and the only thought in my mind is "hard as rock". Stiff. Like all of that muscle is stiff and actually limits smooth, fast mobility. I *cannot* see him scrambling on his belly through a dark trench, and while he might be able to kill someone in hand to hand combat, it seems that someone with more mobility and speed would be able to get the upper hand before he swung those huge tree trunk arms around to connect with them.

Does that make any sense or explain it any better?

So now you are saying that Buff is like Schwarzanegger ???

The Buffinator....



:yowsa:

*sighs*
Ne'er mind.
I think I'm the only person in this thread who was taking Buff seriously, and he might've meant it all as a joke anyway.

Somebody's getting lucky tonight...

If I were in shape by mid February, would you be putting up money toward the cause?

This thread has gotten out of control!

hahaha

lmfao
Jim... I owe you for that one :awinky:

Et tu, Brute???

Buff is engaged????????????????????????

I think I saw this movie. Starred Lou Gossett, as I recall.

The version I saw had Jean-Claude Van Damm.....

:yowsa:

Yep.. First time this year !!

DJ... can I party with you in Vegas ??

The version I saw had Jean-Claude Van Damm..... :yowsa:[/b][/quote]
Or was it Dolf Lungren? :kapow:

Actually, it might have been Chuck Norris.... :ph34r:

Ok, I'll bite...

So Buff, whether you're serious, half serious, kidding or totally hypothetical.... What's your plan to find these fugitives?

The way I see it, taking them out is the easier half of the equation, the trick seems to be finding them. Money hasn't produced any leads. High tech surveillance isn't working because these guys have gone guerilla and decidedly low tech to avoid detection.

Same as Osama in Afghanistan, the terrain, size of the territory and lack of trust of Americans by the locals makes for a very favorable hiding place.

HP, the advantage I see to it is that an independent group has far less rules to worry about - if any. Like the General who's in trouble for scaring a prisoner into talking by firing a gun *near* him. You wouldn't have to worry about shit like that, or about higher-ups telling you that you couldn't enter a certain area or follow a certain lead until someone had cleared it for approval.

You honestly think the powers that be over there are going to let merceneries scout around and hunt on their turf trying to get the prize catches?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

OK

Alcohol + catching up on the last 6 months of "Soldier of Fortune" =

Every now and then you find some cool weaponry gadgets in the Soldier of Fortune classifieds and back page ads.

:groucho:

hey buff, you don't have to go all the way to iraq to find war criminals, there's plenty in this country. if you want i'll draw you a map to where they hide, you can't miss it.

Buff, I will pay you to take a "vacation" in Hawaii if you are that bored.

I am bored !

Oh, I'm quite certain there are already groups that are looking for these guys that dont operate within the normal parameters.

Does US ever hire merceneries for these type of operations or do we just use our own CIA and other special OP teams ?

I'm sure there are plenty of mercenery type people that would love to take on this job.

btw, Mossad never has a problem finding its targets, why cant we find Bin Laden and Saddam after all this time ?

Id put in the money i was going to send in for phb3


Will there be pics and vids?
