Jihad Unspun suggests that the Iraqi leader may have brokered a deal that may see his sentence reduced to life imprisonment while pave the way for a potential invasion of Syria.
As the search for WMD, the one half of the holy grail (the other being Saddam himself) continues, analysts are keen to confirm reports that Saddam transferred some of the weapons to Syria on the eve of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
An attack on Damascus would not be taken lightly and could enflame further the volatile middle east, but evidence of WMD could be the justification.
Meanwhile, a US-Saddam deal may protect the integrity of the US Administration of the past and possible this present. The mouth-watering prospect of detailed disclosure by former ally Saddam could cast an evil eye on the mechanism of American intervention in shaping the Middle East.
The last thing the Bush Administration wants in the background of his re-election campaign is a Air Marshall (Third Reich) Hermann Goering style defence before an international war tribunal, adding fodder to the Democratic ticket.
Which is why the idea of a Bush-Saddam deal seems quite plausible.
