This isn't a rant about how this war is all for Oil or similar, nobody cares about those anymore, nor is it about mercenaries in the traditional sense of the word.
It's about this wonderful news story I saw on Ananova:

Saddam puts a price on British and US heads
Saddam Hussein has put a price on the heads of Allied troops.
Saddam is offering a reward for any Iraqi who shoots down a British or US aircraft, or kills or captures a pilot or soldier.
Any Iraqi who kills an Allied serviceman will receive 25 million dinars (about £9,000).
But the reward will be doubled if the enemy is taken alive, said Saddam's decree, published by the state-run Iraqi News Agency.
The decree contained a list of reward categories:
100 million dinars (£35,500) for shooting down an enemy fighter plane.
50 million dinars (£17,750) for shooting down a helicopter.
10 million dinars (£3,500) for intercepting a missile.
An Iraqi who shoots down an enemy fighter jet or helicopter is to get 50 million dinars (£18,000) if the pilot is captured and 25 million dinars (£9,000) if the pilot is killed.
The same reward applies for capturing or killing enemy soldiers on the ground, the Iraqi leader decreed.

There are of course many Chechnyans, Afghanis and dissident Saudis fighting the allied troops as well. Many have been in place since the build up of troops. They will prove to be the toughest troops to overcome.
A desperate man...
