...White House will respond to each provocation by counterattacking the offending battery. The Pentagon has no doubt what Saddam is up to. He hopes one of the SAMs will find its target and that a "golden BB will get him an American pilot," says a U.S. general. It would be a prized bargaining chip in the standoff, but even if Saddam fails, "defiance is still more important than success," says Georgetown University expert Amatzia Baram.

He's a very, very good director--I was just very happy with its outcome...
