Saddam's wife, daughters safe in Syria

London, March 27 -- Saddam Hussein's first wife Sajida, mother of Uday and Qusay reportedly left for Damascus along with his daugthers Raghad, Rana and Hala, a few days before the bombing of Baghdad.

She is staying with the Iraqi Ambassador to Syria Mohammad Rafat Al Ani, claims the Daily Mail.

The paper attributes its information to Saddam's former minister of protocol Haitham Rashid Wihaib, who now lives in London. It adds the women left with three lorry loads of possessions and 60 bodyguards.

According to the report, Saddam Hussain has made extensive arrangements to "flee Iraq". He has sold off property to rich Iraqis and valuables in various countries to "raise millions in cash for his own exile". The transactions have been made in dollars and deposited outside Iraq.

The Daily Mail claims several senior ministers including Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz have also sent their families to Syria. Saddam Hussain and the ministers plan to join their families when Baghdad falls.

The information adds that an aeroplane is on a 24- hour standby to fly out the Iraqi leader. The report claims that the families could flee undetected because they had shifted close to the border much before hostilities started.

Wihaib has been quoted as saying, "He(Saddam) knows it is only a matter of time before he is defeated... and he has made sure for a very comfortable exile".

He predicts that the war will be over within the next two weeks. But Wihaib stressed that Saddam will never be captured alive. He has ordered his guards to shoot him if he fails to get away.

It's a GLARING hole in reporting. They have to be dead or severely injured. In the meantime, his 'wife' is making the mother of all getaways.

HELP!! FELLOW FREEPERS!!

I'm reading an article that says that the AGA KHAN is the LIVING DESCENDANT of MUHAMMAD!!! Anyone know if this is true??

If this is true, why isn't he being asked to speak to his fellow Muhammand followers????

Anyone have a big ping list to see if this info is correct??

P.s. It was great meeting you this weekend.

I don't remember from any of the maps shown on the telly just whereabouts the Dadhbag Airport is. Anyone have a map that shows it?

You might want to ask the 101st. They'll be there shortly.

Bride of Saddam, Matched Since Childhood

(excerpt) She's a clotheshorse. She's a bottle blonde. She's the headmistress of a girls school. She's a jealous wife, and with good reason. She's the mother of a killer. She's her husband's first cousin.

She's Mrs. Saddam Hussein.

Shouldn't they arrest her too since she spawned these two sub-human POS?

The question will be should Saddam and all those now bailing like fleas off a dead dog's back are eligible now for safe refuge.

In other words, after all the dust settles and their atrocities are laid open and bare before the world, will they be extradited for crimes against humanity?

Will the U.N., after being faced with facts, witnesses, video, audio, reams and reams of sworn statements from Iraqis do anything to prosecute them.

This will be yet another telling story on the horrendous hypocrisy of the U.N.

So that's why Qusay and Uday are a pair of screwballs!

Yep. Saw it on another thread. The airport is on the city's WEST side.

This has always concerned me. He flees as he sets the timer to burn Baghdad and our troops and his people to the ground.

There is no question that we are going to have to fight Syria, as the Iraqi rulers will flee there and direct the resistance to US occupation from Syria.

Inter-marriage (breeding) is never a good thing.

Somebody should be collecting a DNA sample in case we need to positively ID these two spawnlings.

Inbreeding is a hallmark of Islam - in many cases, men buy (yes buy, it's a monetary arrangement) several women from the same parents. And they in turn have children who in turn marry cousins.

Muslims must keep their bloodline "pure" from infidels.
