That would be great if it worked but Kahdafi is still alive.

One of Saddam's many doubles might be there but the real thing would be nuts

war he spent a lot of time riding around Baghdad in ordinary looking taxies,
at night he'd pick a house at random, kick the owners out and sleep there.

Wait until he uses another one?
