Looks as though Syria is a bolt-hole under preparation [probably already prepared]. The best way to win a war is to get the other gang to surrender, leaving them a way out. <In anticipation of a US strike on Iraq, President Saddam Hussein has begun removing gold bars and valuable works of art from Baghdad to the remote north-western town of Abu Kamul near the border with Syria, a German newspaper reported on Sunday. Several trucks laden with gold bars and artworks from museums in Baghdad and the northern city of Mosul travelled under heavy guard to Abu Kamul, where they were met by Syrian and Jordanian businessmen, the Sunday newspaper Welt am Sonntag cited Iraqi opposition and Western intelligence sources as saying... > I suppose the deal will go, "Allow me in to live and you can have half these trucks of gold bars and stuff. I've got some other loot too, so I can pay an annual fee to enjoy continued protection." I think GeorgeW would go for that option as better than a mess in Baghdad, probably involving quite a lot of USA soliders dead and maimeed, not to mention untold Iraqi soldiers and civilians.
