Saddam asked Bush for $1bn to go into exile

Saddam Hussein is said to have offered to go into exile for $1bn

George Bush was convinced that Saddam was serious about going into exile
Saddam Hussein offered to step down and go into exile one month before
the
invasion of Iraq, it was claimed last night.

Fearing defeat, Saddam was prepared to go peacefully in return for
£500million ($1billion).

The extraordinary offer was revealed yesterday in a transcript of talks
in
February 2003 between George Bush and the then Spanish Prime Minister
Jose
Maria Aznar at the President's Texas ranch.

The White House refused to comment on the report last night.

But, if verified, it is certain to raise questions in Washington and
London
over whether the costly four-year war could have been averted.

So? Every war could have been averted. Hell, had the idiot FDR not
slapped an oil embargo on Japan and frozen her assets we wouldn't have
been dragged into WWII and hundreds of thousands of American lives would
have been spared.
Then I guess China owes us big, knocking of (sic) the enemy on their border?

Another stupid DemocRAT maneuver. Knock out the threat (Japan) to our
real enemy (China). Thanks FDR. Roosevelt makes Bush look like a
genius, and that's pretty hard to do.

No, that's what Bush did, by getting rid of Hussein who was a threat
to Iran. Now we see war could have been avoided. And you're saying
"No no no, I PREFER that US soldiers die."
