US Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld paid a secret visit to former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and offered him freedom and possible return to public life if he made a televised request to armed groups for a ceasefire with allied forces, a media report said.
| It was in the dead of night. Rumsfeld was disguised as a Scotchman, complete with kilt,broadsword, false whiskers and caber. |
Saddam promptly rejected the offer, Ynetnews reported quoting a London based Al-Quds Al-Arabi daily.
| "No way, Jose! I'd rather... ummm... die." |
The visit came during Rumsfeld's visit to Iraq about two weeks ago and was known only to a few Iraqi officials in Jordan, the Arab daily reported quoting sources.
| It's a secret, so don't tell nobody... |
Some two weeks ago the British Telegraph had reported that Iraqi gunmen were offered a "deal" to halt all terror attacks in return for a reduced sentence for Saddam, likely to be sentenced to death.
| "Let da boss go or ever'body gets it!" |
However, an Iraqi government official is said to believe that Saddam's Baath party will request to return to politics, the report said.
Really, we don't make this stuff up...
Well, we do make some of it up, but only the yellow/green/baby blue/mauve/puce/plaid parts... |
