A top lieutenant to Saddam Hussein has told American interrogators that the Iraqi leader and his two sons survived the United States-led war in Iraq and that he himself had fled to Syria with the sons after the conflict, Defense Department officials said today.

VERY BAD NEWS for Bashir Assad. A leader such as Saddam could not survive in Syria without the approval and protection of some VERY BIG names in the Syrian Baathist party.

I see major pressure being placed on Syria, and possibly including the threat of war, should Syria not positively respond to giving up Saddam and his sons.
