Former Aide Says Saddam Fled Baghdad Days Ago

I only recall it being mentioned in reference to it's distance from other cities where action was taking place. I think had we stormed it right off the way we have other cities there would have been more of an uproar about personal vendettas between the Bush & Hussein families since there isn't enough happening there to warrent immediate action and that its location makes it one of the last places that will be reached by the coalition.

John,
Getting to him to have him arrested is not as easily done as it is said.
He was given the option to leave willingly...my guess for his reasons not to is that he would have ended up in prison and he believes in himself too much to just hand himself over. I wouldn't be surprised that if and when he is tracked down, he kills his sons and himself to avoid prosecution. Still, the ability for him to afford to go into hiding remains, we have all yet to see.

pritchke,
Nice to see you back. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Let's hope the source wasn't the Iraqii (mis)Information Minister - boy can that guy tell some whoppers with a straight face [/QUOTE]I keep on having visions of Mr Misinfo on television with some marine wedging his M-16 up his nose as he confidently states
