Sky News-Saddam May Be Hiding in Russian Embassy

Sky News ^ | April 9, 2003 | Georgie Arnold

Russia denies that he is in the building, but will not 'confirm or deny' to the cameras about whether they are helping Saddam in Baghdad..

[ewing]

This is getting good..

[Mr. K]

I hope he is in their embassy-

We can demand he be turned over for war crimes

[StolarStorm]

WWIII? Stupid Russians.

Let's bomb it!!!! We'll kill to National Socialists with one 'stone'!!!

[ewing]

No wonder we attack that Russian truck with the Iraqi Secret police documents the other day..

[OpusatFR]

Now just why would Russia help Saddam?

Are they hoping to put him back in power after a protracted terrorist/guerilla war backed by Russia and its proxies in the ME like Syria and Lebanon?

Are they holding him to ship him to another state?

Are they keeping him from trial at which a whole lot of problems could come out in conjunction with a paper trail that indicts Putie Poot?

Are they going to stick their feet into this and begin to back Saddam by sticking Russian troops into Iraq thus really starting a hot war?

You are either with us or against us...

saddam is dead

We should absolutely respect Russian sovereignty of their embassy.

The Iraqi people, however, may have other ideas.

If he is, and this turns out to be true, this is historic.I really doubt that Putin will allow him to be sheltered there for too long, and they will have to surrender him to us.

Saddam is history and he controls nothing. The Russians have far more to gain by pleasing us and surrendering him than they do hiding him and aggravating us.

This is going to be interesting.

National Socialists? The Russians now have a regulated Democracy and Saddam Hussein is/was a fascist dictater.

Hitler was a National Socialist.

This is SKYNews--who said Basra had fallen on day one of the invasion. They have a habit of reporting speculatiom as facts and have been wrong way too many times to trust.

The Russian Intelligence Service did get away with the Iraqi Secret Douments when the CIA tried to take out the convoy in Iraq the other day.

I would guess it is the sale of stinger tank busting missile sales to Iraq through an intermediary.

[NavyCaptain]

Maybe a new target???

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

Where's Waldo...

[Timesink]

THIS STORY HAS BEEN DEBUNKED. AL JAZEERA WAS REPORTING IT, AND THE PENTAGON HAS ISSUED AN UNCATEGORICAL DENIAL.

[mabelkitty]

Stupid, indeed.

However, I am starting to feel sorry for Germany. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Germany supplied Saddam anything, but France, Russia, etc. is all over the place.

Looks like they got squeezed. Big time.

[mabelkitty]

They don't have the military might.

However, I agree the goal of Russia and France is to place a Saddam sympathizer (playa) in charge of the government to keep the blood oil contracts.

What is Al-Jazeera up to? Are they now turning on nations that abandoned the Iraqi liberation?
