from Stratfor: "Sources in Damascus claim that Russian President Vladimir Putin has brokered a deal with U.S. National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice, whereby Saddam Hussein would surrender Baghdad without resistance. Others allegedly involved in the deal include Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri Hadithi, the Russian ambassadors in Damascus and Baghdad and Iraqi ambassadors in Moscow and Damascus. French President Jacques Chirac and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder also reportedly know of the deal. The former Iraqi leadership reportedly arrived in Damascus late April 8. Most senior members of the former leadership reportedly did not stay in Damascus but left immediately for Moscow. Sources close to the Jordanian government report that the CIA struck a deal with Hussein to allow him exile in Russia, in return for capitulation in Iraq. Iraqi opposition groups have claimed that Hussein escaped Baghdad as well."
