Saddam Family in Syria & He's Ready to Run

28-Mar-2003

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is planning to escape to Syria and has already smuggled his family out, according to London's Daily Telegraph. Just days before the bombing of Baghdad began, Saddam's first wife Sajida, the mother of Uday and Qusay, fled to Damascus with three trucks full of possessions and 60 bodyguards. Protocol minister Haitham Rashid Wihaib says Saddam's family is staying with Iraq's ambassador to Syria. "He knows it is only a matter of time before he is defeated, and he has made sure that everything is in place for a very comfortable exile," Wihaib says. Several other government officials, including his deputy Tariq Aziz, also have sent their families to Syria.

The families were able to sneak out of Baghdad because they were staying close to the border. They originally planned to flee to Amman, Jordan, where many of them have homes and bank accounts, but Saddam doesn't trust the Jordanians, because they've let U.S. troops into their country. If his escape route is cut off, Wihaib says Saddam has ordered his bodyguards to kill him. Wihaib says, "Saddam will never be captured alive."

Well, I think the Israeli's would be very good at taking care of this little problem. They don't like terrorists that escape and hide in other countries.

Yes, via the radio receiver implanted during the anal probe.

There have been several articles posted on this thread about Saddam's (and Tariq Aziz') families having gone to Syria, from mainstream sources.

syria is on the news today for helping saddam with anti-tank weapons and night vision devices.

also syria is the escape route to the final destination-libya,

libya received five billion dollars to accept the families of the top rank iraqis.

exactly,then using syrian passenger planes will be transported to libya!,the same place of retirement of Idi Amin-the dictator of Uganda.

can you start to see the pattern here?

He's safer in Iraq than anywhere else, especially if he's taken alive. He'll never be executed, at the most he'll probably get a cell next to Noriega.
