"There are usually between four and eight convoys that leave the palace through different doors -- identical convoys of black Mercedes -- each of them having one who looks like Saddam. They leave in different directions."

What's the problem? We take tham all out. Call it collateral damage and move on!

That's impossible. We have inspectors there. They can't hide any illegal weapons, the french said so! </sarcasm off

"There has even been discussion within his circle to set up what they call a chemical belt around Baghdad using his chemical weapons to entrap the residents of Baghdad inside," he said.

IF this happens, you know who will be blamed. Bush

Shahristani said he believed Saddam planned to make his last stand in Baghdad in the event of a U.S.-led attack and use the capital's four million residents as human shields.

"There has even been discussion within his circle to set up what they call a chemical belt around Baghdad using his chemical weapons to entrap the residents of Baghdad inside," he said.

No wonder the Democrat Socialists and Communists love this guy. He's also pro-death.

Reports that Saddam had look-alikes to confuse potential assassins were "absolutely true," Shahristani said.

There's a job I wouldn't want.

On the contrary. Saddam and his UN inspectors said there were no chemical weapons. A world full of leftist politicians and protestors agree with them.
IF chemical weapons are used, that's when we can say "We told you so. You should have followed us instead of letting your anti-American hate clowd your itty bitty little brains."

Just another reason why anti-war peace activists are charmed by Saddam Hussein.

Those facts will be glossed over. "Saddam was only defending his Country, does the US reveal all its weapons? The US is the ONLY country that has used Nukes, yada, yada, yada".

"Bush forced him to use these weapons. If we had only left him alone..."

Kill 'em all and let Allah sort them out.

A former top Iraqi scientist said on Tuesday he believed Saddam Hussein had dismantled his nuclear program but was making chemical and biological weapons that were hidden deep underground beyond the eyes of U.N. inspectors.

I would have never guessed
What an original idea for avoiding detection

I don't think he's going to have them much longer. May God protect our troops.

Maybe the French are right on this one, if we deploy 6-7 million inspectors we should be able to find this stuff in 2-3 years.

The article is misleading. It is by Reuters, ergo it is meant to mislead. The title ought to be:

Iraqi Scientist: Suicidal Saddam Plans Doomsday for Bagdad !

That is what the meat of the article is: Saddam will murder hundreds of thousands of his own people and destroy Bagad and try to blame the United States. The U.S. must start talking about this NOW. The world needs to know before this event unfolds. Powell and Bush need to use this damning infrmation against Saddam ... NOW !

I have predicting this as an unfolding scenario all along. This is the secret message hidden in Saddam's 'Holy scripture written in blood' now in place in that huge Mosk sitting miles away from Bagdad. Saddam intends to die a false martyr, frame the U.S. when he murders is own people, and start WW III with carefully plotted 'end of times' scenario.

True, but what about all the weapons that have been transfered to Syria? Yes, there are weapons in Iraq now for the immediate response that will be needed in Baghdad; but, the back up WMD are now in Syria.
