If there were Anti Sadaam groups in Iraq in the areas controlled by him then who are they?Most of them worked quietly underground. It's always been that way when there is a dictator. Some of the are from the old leadership families, remember these tribes had leaders that Saddam refused to recognize but that didn't mean the people forgot who and what they are.

Go on ebay and search for a moderately priced used machine you can use just to cruise the web. I picked up a Compaq laptop for $300 recently to lug along while mobile and use along with my desktop.

Try Kurds. Try Shiites.
Try autonomous areas, under no-fly zones.
Try opening your mind.
