Since when do wild rumors "substantiate" other wild rumors?

Look at the source of this rumour - The Arab News. The Arab polity needs to salvage some "honour" out of this situation, so they spin this wild concoction where wily Sammy slips out of the grasp of George W. at the last moment.

Get real. There is NO way that the US would make a deal for Sammy's miserable life after the war started. They needed to set a precedent for all future diplomatic/military actions - obey a pre-war ultimatuum or you're a dead man. He didn't obey, and now's he dead, or very soon to be. It sets things up very nicely for the next ultimatuum. Paying attention, Assad?

Still, if he were in Moscow, that would be just fine. Moscow is in some ways a very free-enterprise kind of place, and I bet interested parties could pay Russian mobsters to whack Saddam for a few thousand dollars and some bootleg DVDs of either "Scarface" or "Debbie Does Dallas".

Anybody who has seen the highly educational Russian film BROTHER will know exactly what I'm talking about.

This is absolutely true. Praise be to Allah, the mighty, glorious leader Saddam Hussein will seize control of newly capitalistic Russian infidels and throttle the international war criminal Rumsfeld and Little Bush into submission.

Praise be to Putin!

If the CIA had wanted those "supposed" secret archives wouldn't they have arranged for them to be taken after the Russian convoy was stopped by the Australian SAS following the air attack. Just a thought.

Whether Saddam is in Moscow or not,
what is scary is that he is in all probability not dead.

Furthermore, how can we win this war on terrorism when we cannot provide evidence of the deaths of its leadership? Where is Saddam? Where is Osama? Yes, the U.S. can win conventional wars but what about this?

It seems like conventional logic would almost necessitate the need to kill terrorist leadership. Having the government assume that Osama or Saddam are on the run is not what I want to hear as a taxpayer. It simply is not good enough. Furthermore, the government should not try to weasel out of admitting that they are having extreme difficulty in apprehending these criminals.

We are no safer than we were pre-9/11 until this leadership is terminated.

In many ways it does not matter. Terrorists are never terrorists in isolation, (well except the Unabomber) Usama and Saddam need people to die for them and run things on a grand scale. International terrorism is not a one man show.

With a country to protect you, and with what has happened in Afghanistan (The graveyard of empires) and Iraq, no country is going to willingly let them in or be used as a base. Without that secure base, they are always on the run, in hiding, knowing full well we got a big mallet and are experts at whackamole.
