there was also some thought that these fleeing Russian diplomats had smuggled Saddam out - which was not true.
still, I have to believe that their are sat photos that show these convoys (russian or otherwise) taking stuff to Syria before the war. Al Douri is in Syria. why the US refuses to "out" Syria in this whole thing, I do not know, perhaps its because we aren't prepared to do anything about them.
There was a convoy on route to Syria that we hit.

Timing is everything in poker and war.
