Saddam Accepted UAE Exile Plan to Avert Iraq War

Reuters: "Deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had secretly accepted a last-minute plan to go into exile to avert the 2003 Iraq war, but Arab leaders shot the proposal down. UAE Pres Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahayan made the proposal for Saddam to go into exile at an emergency Arab summit just wks before the war began in March 2003. But the 22-member Arab League, led by Secretary-Genrl Amr Moussa, refused to consider the initiative." Maybe the members of these Arab nations received an offer they couldn't refuse... an offer that promised them a chance to plunder and gulp down the blood-money and blood-oil along w/ Halliburton, perhaps?
