It will be quite interesting to see what Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz has to say about this.

Not buying it. Saddam is having a dirt nap.

Belarus will be getting a visit from several non-descript, ordinary but extremely fit looking, tourists in the near future, if they are not already there on vacation or business.

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko is more a old Soviet style dictator than President... he resurrected an old style KGB type "Security Force" and rules that country with an iron fist....

While all the old Soviet Republics implement reforms he continues a backwards path to hardline communist dictatorship.....Political opponents disapear or are intimidated, dissent is squashed....

I have several Belarussins working for me and they are thankful to be in the US and vow never to return to Belarus....

Wasn't that was the day the bomb hit the bunker? Doubt if any planes got off. This is bogus.

Whether Saddam is crispy, jellied or in rude good health, it doesn't matter. If he's dead he's dead; if he's alive, eventually his character will force him to make himself known and he can be made dead by whoever's interested.

What he no longer is, and never again can be, is a player.

I saw Saddam with my own two eyes yesterday…at RibaSmith Supermarket here in Panama City (R of P)...Believe me...I am only telling you the facts...I am just reporting what anyone will tell you has to be obvious...And that's the truth.

While Belarus may resemble the rigid dictatorship of Iraq in many ways, somehow I cannot see Saddam living there. What would Lukashenko do with him...put him up in a dacha somewhere with a fleet of bodyguards? Saddam would be like a fish out of water in Belarus. No, I think he would have to go to some Arabic-speaking paradise for his retirement, that is if he is not already permanently retired.

"There's no proof that Saddam was on the plane but we have proof that a plane left on that day from Baghdad airport and arrived in Minsk," a senior intelligence source said. "If you can think of anybody else who could obtain permission to fly out of Baghdad in the middle of a war, then please tell me."

Would permission have to have been given by the U.S. for this flight to get past coalition air forces?

I still think he's in the Russian embassy in Baghdad.

More likely the flight contained Russian military "advisers" and sensitive equipment they didn't want to fall into coalition hands once Baghdad fell. They probably bugged-out when Saddam was killed, and they knew defeat was inevitable.
