Iraq
Iraqi plot to spring Sammy
2003-12-21
U.S. forces in Iraq say they have uncovered a plot to kidnap the country's provisional leaders - in the hopes of trading them for Saddam Hussein.
Toldja this was going to happen...
A U.S. military source said supporters of Saddam planned to abduct at least one and possibly two members of the Iraqi Governing Council. The tip-off came from a Baath military officer and supporter of the ousted dictator. U.S. and Iraqi security services believe members of the governing council have been under surveillance, apparently by Saddam loyalists.

#1  Maybe the Elite Republican Guard™ that has earned so much international respect is going to spring him. Do we really have any hope of thwarting such an audacious plan, carried out by such dedicated commandos? Our troops really don't stand a chance, maybe we should just start packing and haul ass. Where's Les Aspin, he'll know what to do. heh

As Dubya said, "bring 'em on."
