IRAQ SHAVE

MSNBC is just color bars. I don't know for how long, I was using CBS. Boom boom?

Hi texasbluebell, another Freeper emailed me this earlier. But you have to consider the source.

DEBKAfile’s Exclusive Middle East sources have tracked down the top Iraqi leadership’s bolt-hole. It is a large 1,600-room luxury resort with 600 meters of private sandy beach in the Mediterranean coastal town of Latakiya called Cote d’Azur De Cham Resort, prepaid and chartered in toto by Baghdad.

The group may include Saddam Hussein or his sons, but this is not confirmed.

The hotel is located close to the Assad family villa.

Top Iraqi officials are reported hiding there since March 23, four days after the US-led coalition invaded Iraq. They are guarded by a Syrian commando unit armed with anti-air missiles while Syrian naval missile boats secure the port

Excuse me Fox, it is more than symbolic when you kill tanks and the enemy. I doubt the dead Iraqis view that incursion as meerly symbolic.

[Texas Tea]

LOL, right and credit cards. I can use those without ever leaving my chair.
Maybe Ahmed fell asleep and knocked all of the equipment down.

[Consort]

Does Achmed sleep with the virgins?

[JLS]

Interesting, of course considering the source is two fold.

1. A middle east source even babble might know?

2. They are so rarely right?

Heck maybe they are due to be right on something?

[Catspaw]

The Russian Ambassador to Iraq just left today (bon voyage!), but the embassy remains open.

Had there been 24 news networks etc at the end of WWII imagine how many Hitler sightings there would have been and how long the Hitler sightings would have gone.

"I heavily discount the chopper story. As far as I can tell he did not mention the date. When the original story of the farmer shooting down the chopper was floated the US side thought it was silly and odd. I think now we know why they floated the story of the farmer, they already had Saddam in the can saying that."

I agree that it is possible he made a tape about a chopper before the war started, but I think it's more likely that he's alive.

I believe the reason we haven't seen more tapes is that he is no longer in Baghdad and it's getting very hard to get tapes into town or out of whatever town he's in. (pure conjecture)

[maica]

Proof lurks here?

I'd say proof positive!

LOL

[oceanview]

a facility and a setup like that would be so easy to spot its not even funny. if saddam made it to Syria, he is now healing from plastic surgery in a private hospital someplace, soon to move on someplace else.

[Tree of Liberty]

Shep Smith mentioned the other day that he received an email from someone who remembered a smiliar, if not identical video from Desert Storm talking about an Apache that went down.

[oceanview]

how did he get out of the country?

[GreyWolf]

Does Achmed sleep with the virgins?

Since both cameras went down simultaneously, maybe they had another power failure. Otherwise, by both cameras going down concurrently, bad news. Achmed may indeed have played his last game cards.

Kirk: Bones, Where's Ensign R. Jeremy?
McCoy: Got head, Jim.

ducking now

[socal_parrot]

Fox's cam on was just on and it showed no city lights. Just building outlines. Power outage?

[Tree of Liberty]

There weren't any aircraft sounds before CBS went black. Doesn't really indicate anything, just an observation.

[johnnyd]

Oh I think if he is...he's going to be in for a rude awakening when he finds out that his Heaven's done plum run out of virgins ;-)
