| Some Baath leaders flee to Syria |
| 2003-04-08 |
| The Iraqi Kurdistan PUK TV channel reported on Tuesday a number of leaders of the Iraqi Baath Party have fled to Syria over the past few days. Rats leaving the sinking ship. The channel, belonging to the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, said the leaders have applied for political asylum from Syria. It added the invading forces have arrested a number of leaders of ruling regime in Iraq in al-Karkh area in Baghdad city. PUK refused to give further information on the name of these leaders and details of their arrest, noting they tried to flee from Baghdad to get to a secure place. The Kurdish channel claimed the Pentagon has given three days to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his two sons to attend a live program in one of the Iraqi TV channels, or else be declared dead which will pave the way for the formation of a transitional government. Interesting idea. I think the 3rd ID ought to swing by the crater and see if they can help with the search. |

| #1 the Pentagon has given three days to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his two sons to attend a live program in one of the Iraqi TV channels, or else be declared dead Won't happen. IF Sammy is still alive, then he's had two close calls and is probably a nervous wreck. He's an evil bastard, but that doesn't mean he's stone cold stupid. |
