Here we go, hundreds of thousands of dollars to the leader of the Republican Guard, plus safe travel out of the country
for he and his family.
Totally amazing.
Out of sight..out of mind?
No, just richer and protected to make more mayhem.
Hussein's brutal Republican Guard, safe, free and RICHER, while Bush & Co. get the oil wells.
I am astounded and numb.
This should be illegal, possibly even treasonable!

"It turns out that Soufiane al Tikriti, head of Baghdad's 10,000-strong Special Republican Guard, was paid several hundred thousand dollars on the eve of the battle. In exchange, he ordered Baghdad's defenders to stand down and not resist. On April 8, al Tikriti was ferried out of Iraq by a US aircraft along with 20 family members. To cover for his absence, US forces let it be known that al Tikriti had been killed while fleeing in his Subaru. On April 9, Baghdad fell to American and British forces with little resistance."
