Powell: US to help find refuge for Saddam
2003-01-29
The United States would try to find a refuge for Saddam Hussein and members of his inner circle if the Iraqi leader decides to go into exile, Secretary of State Colin Powell said Wednesday.
Addressing a joint news conference with visiting Pakistani Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmud Qasuri at the State Department, Powell said if Saddam were to "leave the country and take some members of his family and some of the elite (with him), we will try to find a place for him to go."
"And we will be happy to send him straight to .....there, soon!"
Asked if the United States would also grant amnesty to Saddam if he decides to leave Iraq, Powell said: "It is not up to us to offer him that kind of protection. It has to be discussed with others."

#5  There's a nice big house up in Chappaqua, New York that he can live in. After all, the residents are against the war with Iraq, so they should offer Sammy some hospitality

#4  I recommend Marin County; nice soothing scenery, good amenities, friendly neighbors. We might have to buy him a suitable mansion (lots of those there) but, judging from recent demonstrations there, the local peaceniks would be willing to donate a harem. This would have to make up in quantity what it lacks in quality, but the guy's 65, IIRC; how picky can he be?
Those rich hippy bimbos would really dig Uday.

#3  Oh, I don't know guys... I think we could find him a nice spot in, say, Marion, Illinois. I bet we could find him a loving roommate, too!

#1  He'll never bite. He didn't bite when fellow Muslims made the offer, and he sure as hell ain't gonna bite if it looks as if he's giving in to the Merkins. Guys like him have a desperate need to win, and so they tend to stay in the game instead of folding.
