Saddam asked Bush for $1bn to go into exile

Dailymail.co.uk - Saddam asked Bush for $1bn to go into exile
Now, if Bush's motives for going into Iraq (at least one of them.. and if you watch that 'Angry Americans' video in the 'Lies' thread, they're bogus anyway) was to get Saddam, then why would Saddam's offer be ignored? True, probably not the best move to let him get away, but then you have to look at the cost in lives and dollars of the war that happened instead.

More than one Arab nation offered to give refuge to Saddam & his sons to avoid war, but the neo-cons had absolutely no interest in any of these offers because they had full interest in war & occupation.
will you read what you just said? that makes no sense. come on.

how else do you funnel all that money back to your political backers if you can't do it through no-bid wartime contracts?

So, why should we have given him one billion to go into exile?

see, before, you said that they had no interest in him accepting an exile deal, as if that is why he didn't do it. you said that the neocons had no interest in any such offer, when the offer was not being made by or too them. so what do they have to do with it?
not everything is america's fault. saddam hussein's unwillingness to leave power, for example, had nothing to do with how badly the treacherous neocons wanted to kill iraqis and take their oil. read your post again and i think you'll see what i mean.

I don't get it. So other countries said they would take Saddam, yet he didn't go, even when we attacked? Instead we found him in a fucking hole. haha. Yes that makes LOADS of sense sir, good job, I applaud you.

This thread is titled wrong, Saddam asked Bush if he could abscond with a 1 bn of his own money which of course came from the Iraqi people. Nowhere did he ask for a 1bn from the US

It wouldnt matter, Iraq would still be occupied, it was a matter of strategic importance for the mid-east. I doubt they foresaw a pro-longed insurgency, otherwise we'd be bombing Iran and not sanctioning them.
