EXILED Iraqi army officers are in contact with former comrades under President Saddam Hussein's command to persuade them to switch sides, an opposition spokesman has confirmed.

"Contacts are under way with Iraqi army commanders, chiefly in the Republican Guard," Albert Yelda, of the Iraqi National Coalition, an umbrella group including ex-officers, said from Londo

Two of your articles say Khazraji was "touted as a possible successor to President Saddam Hussein." Then we have in the Australian article of a few hours ago: "In February last year London-based Arabic daily Al-Hayat quoted opposition sources in Syria as saying the US had chosen Khazraji to run Iraq after the overthrow of Saddam." I think it is a safe bet we'll be hearing a lot more about this Khazraji.

I would think there is one huge Negotiation Party going on right now behind the scenes. Meanwhile, the press is waiting for another display of 'Shockinaw' to boost their ratings. lol.

Did you see the thread about Bob Arnot reporting about the anthrax? The thread is a tortuous read because of the flame wars, so holler if you want a synopsis.

I thought of that possibility earlier, it makes sense.
