Your suggesting we bomb the Russian Embassy?

[andyf007]

Clever move.

We now have to ask the Ruskies to hand him over and go through all the red tape etc. Any attempt to set foot in there would be seen as an invasion of Russia, it is classed as Russian soil. Can't see the Ruskies having too much of a problem complying with an extradition request, but it would take time to organise and the Yanks really need him dead to move Iraq forward.

We should think ourselves lucky that he didn't go to the Chinese embassy.

Where does this info come from?

[mrsd]

Smart move on SH's part, we can't aggravate the Russians too much. Someone on tinpot US cable has just been suggesting that there's a strong chance he'll end up spending the rest of his days in some dictator hideaway like Idi Amin.

Why not they bombed the chinese embassy last time

if the people find out that will become an ex embassy very quickly, the scenes I'm seeing of the hate for this guy are quite sobering (Sky news)

Surely not his style, if he goes down I have this sneaking suspicion that he will go down in flames...

Russia says Saddam 'not at embassy'

Russia has denied reports that Saddam Hussein has been given refuge at the Russian Embassy in Baghdad.

A spokesman said the report "absolutely does not correspond with reality".

"Such statements absolutely do not and cannot correspond with reality," Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Yakovenko said.

"This is an attempt yet another time to place the Russian Embassy in Baghdad under threat."

Channel One did not say where reports about Saddam 's location originated.

An unidentified Russia diplomatic source also categorically denied what the agency called 'allegations' that Saddam had hidden on the territory of the Embassy, the Interfax news agency reported.

So he's coming to Bournemouth then?

[cnh1990]

In the past it is not unheard of for a mob to storm an embassy. If that were to happen I don't think the soldiers would actually fire on a crowd civilans storming the building. As always in chaos no one can be really sure if he has taken refuge there.

CarZee's mediator job isn't looking too safe then, bit of competition methinks.

Maybe he'll move next door to Idi Amin . . .in Libya? Or is it Saudi nowadays . . .

Bush will say he's in North Korea so he can go and "smoke him out"!

The Coalition should just hint to the Iraqis in the street that the bas**** is holed in there.I'm sure you'd find a few hundred willing to pay him a visit.

[rich 36]

blimey the shoes are out for him today allright, it wont be a dead wolf being ripped to shreds this time "break out the sandals, lets Jelly the b@stard to death"
Who threw that- john cleese moment approaching

[robkola]

If he's in there - then it's Cold War II !!

[caro]

The report came from Lebanese TV, apparently, and everyone is busy saying it is completely unconfirmed.

[luca brazzi]

We could always suggest he's holed up in Mayor Ken's office, or in some traffic warden meeting place....and hope the air force 'has a go'
