    Would that be the half that they were already sitting on at the time? Posession being 9/10 of the law, it hardly seems like it would be necessary to give them what they already had. it's not like the US was going to try to take it away from them.

    And PS:

    We tried that once before, though not with cruise missiles. Didn't get him. Do you really think his location is that clear? That he wouldn't have a few different places to go, and wouldn't be taking some steps to keep his actual location at any given time quiet? He's crazy, yes, but not completely stupid.
