"Hossam Shaltout, a former political adviser to Saddam Hussein's son, said today that before the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March of 2003, Saddam expressed his intent to yield to all American demands, but that the Bush administration refused his offers, according to a press release on Yahoo News."

Re: Ex-Hussein political adviser claims.....

Hmm... interesting claim. Why did he wait so long to announce this?

I heard the claim back in March '03

Bush did too and said it was "too late".

I was against the war before it started.

yes this is old news but jazakAllah for the reminder my bald man.

Lets not forget bush invaded afghanistan, allowed lebanon to get destroyed and will most likely attack iran. Many may think its resources but i think theres hidden agendas (well not so hidden actually, blair supporting straws attack, so typical :rollseyes wat cud they possible be after :rollseyes)
