Saddam gone on holiday

"DEBKAfile's Exclusive Middle East sources have tracked down top Iraqi leadership’s bolt-hole.

Baghdad pre-paid and chartered entire Hotel Cote d'Azur De Cham Resort at Syrian Mediterranean port of Latakiya near Assad family villa. Group may include Saddam Hussein or his sons, but this is not confirmed.

Top Iraqi officials hiding there since March 23, four days after coalition invaded Iraq, guarded by Syrian commando unit armed with anti-air missiles and Syrian naval missile boats securing port"

I don't think he's still in Baghdad. Saddam has always struck me as a survivor. He'll have had a get-out plan which only he knows. He wouldn't have trusted anybody, not even his sons. He'll have known that many within his government or army would have wanted him dead by now.
