I dont think he would of made it out of the country alive.The U.S has spy drones patroling the Northern and Southern sections of Iraq before the war and for Saddam to drive out of there would of been very risky.But it would be nice to find some info from a host country to verify the information but i havent seen any yet but i am looking,it took me a long time just to find that article about him leaving or wanting too.But i am looking for other evidence and if i dont find any then that story is more than likely B.S.
