I think I'll wait for someone at least as reliable as Debka [cough] before believing this.

If the rumors are true, II Marine Expeditionary Force is outside Tikrit. Now.

Wihaib says Saddam left Baghdad in a series of anonymous taxis and battered pickup trucks in a convoy

Dang, how many pieces was he in?

"Iraqi Official Says Saddam Left Baghdad"

I think more than that has happened. I think he is dead and has assumed cave temperature.

[AmericanMade1776]

Sounds like a load of manure to me. I am going with the Army intelligence, I think Saddam is still in hiding in those tunnels.

[scott7278]

IMHO, he's left the earth.

[SengirV]

As if that walk-about was even real. Everyone was wearing jackets in 100 degree temps, and the trees had no leaves. Pure BS. Also, it was the Iraqi dis-information minister who started the whole "a farmer shot down an apache" knowing full well they already had a pre recording of Saddam mentioning it. Pure BS that the addle brained news folks eat up with a spoon. Heaven forbid their teleprompter goes out and they actually have to think.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Actually Whitley Gilbert ADifferentWorld.com confirmed that Saddam has been given refuge at Hillman College by Douglas Wilder.

[the rifleman]

If he has fled and turns up somewhere, I wonder how the average Iraqi Arab will feel. They sacrificed while he ran away with the money. Some martyr. Perhaps they wont mind if we stick around then. If he is there he'll eventually begin to stink and someone will point it out.

[NonValueAdded]

IMO, Tikrit will be the final battle and this was fairly predictable. If he is anywhere, Tikrit is it. Saddam is too poison for most countries to hold but he could find refuge in France, Russia, or North Korea. Otherwise, we'll go in and get him.

What I'd like to see is the webcam view into that room full of Saddam look-a-likes pooping bricks and wondering aloud about why they chose their job. Sort of like an Elvis impersonator convention gone horribly bad.

[The Lake City Gar]

Whitley Strieber ????

What's next? Information from NewsMax.com? Debka? WorldNetDaily? Weekly World News??

[Rockitz]

If he truly has left, it was probably with that Russian delegation on it's way to Syria.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Centcom thinks they just did him in , in Baghdad!

Four bunkerbusters on a traget of opportunity!

Reply 2: "Saddam & Co. are southwest of Tikrit."

[Shaka]

Yeah...he left Baghdad alright! In about 150 different pieces and about 150 different ways!

DEBKA strikes again..late to the party I guess.

Anyone have the Awwwwww Geeeez guy???

[Pro-Bush]

Whitley is great and all..But I think he should stick to UFOs and Alien implants.

[noexcuses]

Iraqi Official Says Saddam Left Baghdad

That's another way of putting it.

[First_Salute]

Saddam has told his bodyguards to shoot him if he's about to be captured.

Bump.
