Why would Russia want to cut him a deal? He controls no oil. He controls nothing. What would it benefit Russia? This makes no sense.

[Valin]

Right do you want to be shot, hang, poisoned, or fed into a shreader?

[HarryCaul]

Yeah, I'm sure he can trust the Russians now. What does he have to offer now? No oil. Maybe a little money, but that has limits. Some intel, though I imagine we'll end up with most of that.

Let him run to Russia. They'll use him up and throw him away. He'll have a "bad cold" along the lines of those Soviet leaders in the 80s soon enough.

Couldn't we "oops" a missile into the Russian Embassy?

Here's the deal: Saddam, you just lay scattered about in pieces until the DNA results are in. Then, you'll be bull-dozed over and your soul will rot in Hell. Deal?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Is his corpse negotiating a final resting place? Have they found big enough pieces to bury? He's dead Jim.

I thought the Russians left yesterday: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/887232/posts

I'd hate for us to accidentally hit another embassy--we might start to lose plausible deniability :)

[schaketo]

The bad news is it looks like Saddam Hussein is still alive. The good news: We still get to kill him.

[11th Earl of Mar]

What's the sourse? Debka-jeera?

[clamper1797]

The only deal we should give in is a choice between "long drop" or "short drop"

[aristeides]

Where in Baghdad is the Russian embassy located?

>Could Saddam Hussein be striking a last-minute deal?

I swear, the only
deal I'd want to see would be
the old Trotsky "deal."

And I'd love to see
Saddam's dying wish flame out
just like Trotsky's did...

"The Old Man [Trotsky], exhausted, wounded to death, eyes almost closed, looked in my direction from the narrow hospital bed, moved his right hand feebly. "Joe, you...have. ..notebook?" How many times he had asked me this same question!--but in vigorous tones, with the subtle innuendo he enjoyed at our expense about "American efficiency." Now his voice was thick, words scarcely distinguishable. He spoke with great effort, fighting against the encroaching darkness. I leaned against the bed. His eyes seemed to have lost all that quick flash of mobile intelligence so characteristic of the Old Man. His eyes were fixed, Is if no longer aware of the outside world, and yet I felt his enormous will power holding away the extinguishing darkness, refusing to concede to his foe until he had accomplished one last task. Slowly, haltingly, he dictated, choosing the words of his last message to the working class painfully in English, a language that was foreign to him. On his death-bed he did not let himself forget that his secretary spoke no Russian !

"I am close to death from the blow of a political assassin...struck me down in my room. I struggled with him...we ...entered...talk about French statistics...he struck me... Please say to our friends...I am sure...of the victory...of the Fourth International...Go forward."

He tried to talk more; but the words were incomprehensible. His voice died away, the tired eyes closed. He never regained consciousness. "

DEAD MAN WALKING

[concerned about politics]

Iraqi's are celebrating. They are so happy right now.

[sarasota]

I'm sorry, people of the world, saddam is dead.

[Scenic Sounds]

Well, he may be trying to cut a deal now, but he's probably dealing with a Power greater than the U.S now.

[WhiskeyPapa]

“This explains the lack of resistance by the Republican Guard and Iraqi forces,”

No, that lack of resistance is explained by M-16A2's, M203's, Mk-19 grenade lainchers, M-249 squad automatic weapons, M2 HB .50 cal machine guns.......

You know, it would be "wrong" for US troops to violate Russian sovreignty by searching the embassy.

However, if we, I dunno, leaked word to the hundreds and thousands of Iraqi citizens dancing in the streets of Baghdad that Saddam was in the embassy, well...who know what might happen to the embassy building?

I can see Gen. Brooks speaking now: "We were unaware of the lynch mob at the Russian embassy until after Hussein had been killed..."
