If the administration and media are accurately characterizing Saddam, I would expect his entire visible circle to be wiped-out over the course of the regime change. He will see to it.

Interesting. Source?

pentagon: no information that he has been shot, is trying to get asylum, or anything. bbc reporting rumor he was shot. fox reporting rumor he has gone to turkey.

so what we know is this: he is dead or alive, in iraq or elsewhere.

Nonsense. If the guy was running there was no chance of a successful coup, nor should we support any figure like Aziz even if he did escape.

What? Aziz was to Saddam what Marc Fabiani was to Clinton ( and now to the San Diego Chargers )
Just what could he do in a new governemtn besides lie to the rest of the world ?

He probably had a new job lined up with Chrique

Then we are idiots. He's Kruschchev to Saddams Stalin. He's been the dictators toady for decades. NO ONE from the inner circle should be allowed to survive. No one.

[Redleg Duke]

Yep! We might as well just give it up right now, eh? Tell everyone that France was right and so was Koffe?

[Diva Betsy Ross]

If that were true , then wouldn't we have taken some safe gaurds to make sure he made it accross the border? Instead he tries to escape in daylight , at a critical time when he would be highly visable. I don't know ,I am having issues with this whole story...

Where did you get THAT information? I don't think I'd want THAT snivelling weasel in the new govt., it would seem like more of the same!

Really, or is/was that a joke?

C'mon... Did you make this up? Tarik Aziz has been Saddam's spokesmouth for years! If he is down, this is good news, IMHO.

[Georgia]

According to Fox News this morning, he was on our dirty dozen hit list of Iraqi's we wanted captured or killed. I don't think he is a candidate for the new government.

[KillTime]

Not true: Aziz was one of the top 4 for us to get for crimes along with saddams sons and chemical ali. It's only a shame he got shot if he can not be brought to justice.

Big Bad Bill will be the new President of Iraq or Mikail Gorbechev
