Some of Saddam’s Inner Circle has been Transferred

Some of Saddam’s Inner Circle has been Transferred The US is completing its drawdown from Iraq and as one of the last acts many prisoners who we have had in custody are being turned back over to the Iraqi government. The latest batch to be turned over is a bunch of the motley crew who were once known as Saddam Hussein’s innrer circle. Do you remember how they were being caught one by one during Operation Iraqi Freedom? Our military ring customers who were serving in Iraq during that time were given decks of playing cards with their pictures on them. They seemed to fade out of mind after the war but they were quietly being held in custody by the US military.

The chief of this group of Saddam’s thugs who were just turned over is Tariq Aziz. You may remember him during the last days of the war pubicly declaring how the Iraqis had maintained control of the airport. He must have been on his way to wherever he had to go to try to escape as he made that speech.

Mr Aziz is terrified that once they have been turned over into the hands of the Iraqi government that they will be very harshly dealt with. This just reinforces my saying that what goes around comes back around. When I think about how they raised all kinds of hell when they had Saddam to back them. They did it without fear. One thing that Mr Aziz neeeds to keep in mind is this; If he had not raised so much cain with those civilians when he was in power they would not want to kill him today.
