That is exactly what I said the minute I saw them hug. Thinking he/they may be the ones who snitched.

Whatever leaders entered the restaurant would just be laughing their asses off.

They are, but they are laughing on the run.

The Important thing is the Iraqi leadership is winning the war of disinformation about Saddam and that helps keeps the war going.

Saddam's Favorite (French) Restaurant . .


Waiter: Have you decided on dessert, sir?

Saddam: Yes, I think I'll try the "Bombe Surprise"....

Now it could be his 16 yr old pregnant wife

Who is whose wife - the fat man, or the other one? OK, maybe it's interchangable in such relationships, I don't know....

Russian media suggests that their embassy's convoy to Syria that recently came under fire could be used as a human shield for salvaging archives of Saddam's secret service...

Knowing whose true ally the president's personal friend Putin is, I wouldn't be surprised if the convoy dispatched Saddam himself to Russia via Syria.

Maybe that's part of the unpleasant nonmilitary suprise the Iraqis were talking about.

OK I keep hearing DNA from who ever can be used. Would someone please tell me why this would confirm it is Saddam. If the DNA comes from a female (X) to compare to Saddam's it would just prove a common female linage. If it comes from a male it just proves common male (Y) linage. It would appear that the best you could say is that it is someone from the same family line. If I remember right it was said that most of the inner circle were related to Saddam. So just because they find DNA from the same family linage doesn’t prove it is Saddam.

The best I can come up with is that if they have DNA from both a daughter and son From same mother they could come with in about 75-90%. Having the DNA of the mother would help.

X1 + X2 = Wife
X3 + Y1 = Saddam
X1 + X3 = Daughter
X2 + X3 = Daughter
X1 + Y1 = Son
X2 + Y1 = Son

Using the mother’s DNA you could eliminate 50% of the DNA of son and daughter. Which would leave you with the DNA supplied by Saddam.

If you do not have the mother’s DNA then you can compare the son’s and daughter’s DNA to get a close comparison. Theoretically you should be able to come close to Saddam’s profile.

Not all racing is "round in circles" In fact NASCAR racing isn't even "round in circles" .

You have every right to not like autosports, but to belittle it because you are ignorant of it is unbecoming.

It is easy to trivialize any sport because, by their nature, all sports are trivial.

Report of John Loftus
WABC radio:

'Retired' Russian generals Atelov and Matsov
have been in charge of Iraqi command and control.
That is why no communications
from Iraqi command and control have been intercepted
since the start of the war.
The Russians have been directing everything.

The Russian convoy headed for Syria
with the Russian ambassador
was shot up
(30 minute gunfight)
because the secret communications equipment
was being taken out.
This equipment uses encryption
that connects with the Russian equivalent
of NSA.

When asked whether US forces seized any equipment
John Loftus said: "No comment".

With regard to the latest bomb on Saddam
Loftus said it was a 'sting' operation
again carried out by a Russian advisor.
Iraqis were attempting to see
if the US could intercept their underground communications
so they played an old tape
with Saddam arranging with his sons
to meet at a restaurant.

The US fell for the sting
and bombed the restaurant.

(The possibility of a 'sting'
apparently has been mentioned on Fox)

Loftus still maintains Saddam was killed
on the first night.

"The Russians have been directing everything."

In a way my gut tells me this is no surprise.

If the Ruskies were this desparate to probe our comm skills and capabilities there had to be good reasons for them to go to those efforts to prove it . . .

Thoughts?

LOL! The Iraqi leadership isn't winning anything. Nada. Zip. Zilch.

"a concealed entrance to an underground tunnel complex"

I thought of that too. But, if that's the case, why enter the stupid restaurant via the front door?? They could just meet like rats underground somewhere and nobody will know.

Another thing. If this was just a double that entered the restaurant, sooner or later with all the target practice we are getting, Saddam is gonna run out of doubles.

Don't know, but one thing's for sure. Saddam if alive still has a bulls eye painted on his back.
