Here's an old one I forgot about

I'm trying to get the links up on my Saddam Show pages and combing through some old links I'd collected.

Here's one from last summer that I filed away, figuring it was way too sketchy and unverified - but thought I'd hold on to it for some reason anyway.

Film will soon be made public of an Iraqi Army officer describing how he saw a US Air Force transport fly Saddam Hussein out of Baghdad.

Then early on the morning of April 9th, as the remnants of his unit were close to being overrun, a general cease-fire was unexpectedly declared for 6 AM. Shortly after it went into effect, and in broad daylight, the officer claims a motorcade of 10 Mercedes stretch limos suddenly barreled onto the airfield, carrying Saddam and his entourage. Almost simultaneously, a flight of what the officer asserts were four USAF Hercules transports swooped down and landed on the lone stretch of intact runway. All four C-130s dropped their rear loading ramps and the limos drove up into the cargo bays of the waiting planes, which then took off. The officer insists he has no idea where Saddam or any of the other members of his party may have gone.

Of course the film would only be of testimony, but I just thought I'd throw this in the pot for more flavor.

We're never going to know the truth anyway. So just pick a story. Make up your own plot. You can't do worse than the administration has been doing - Turkey Day, Jessica Lynch, Mission Accomplished.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
