russians negotiating with saddam

BBC shown on SBS suggests that Russians are trying to do a deal to allow Saddam asylum. I hope that it is somewhere in Siberia 40% below zero in winter and warm with billions of biting insects in summer.

I wonder whether the deal that they want is for them and the frogs to keep their oil concessions in exchange
for letting him do a bunk. I bet George Bush would veto
such a deal.
