I know he was on TV after the strike, but there was speculation that was taped earlier or it was one of his stand in "doubles". I think he's probably still alive.

Tough to say.

I'm guessing it did not get him, even if that was taped or a double.

I don't think he's dumb. He knew it was coming, and supposedly has some deep bunkers to hide in.

I hope it did get him. I would imagine when he gets it, there should be a lot less resistance. I imagine. Who knows? Could have the complete opposite effect.

Some people there do like him. Story on the news yesterday about young folks in Iraq who watch our movies, listen to our music, and like Saddam and don't know why we're doing this. Its never as black and white as they make it seem.

think it was a 10-1 shot, but we had to take it.....

that obviously (at least from my recognition) was not Saddam last night....dude had a greyer mustache, narrower shouders, fatter face, and bushier eyebrows than anytime i have seen Saddam

Saddam is too vain to wear glasses. I dont believe that was him. But he isnt stupid and probably felt the CIA would know where he could broadcast from and bomb his ass again.

I think there is a good chance he went down with the bunker buster bombs. Too early to tell. It sure would make things alot easier.

Side note- I just saw a reporter in Kuwait trying to talk on camera through a gas mask. He looked so dumb. Complications of reporting the war.

It just didn't look like him on tv last night.....the glasses and reading from notes.....it has to be a double and it was noted that he has numerous doubles....after seeing that attack on that location, If I was one of those imposters of saddam I would seriosly consider shaving my head and mustache and going on my merry way......

b/c if they did this shit would be over

even if we got him, his sons and top generals will carry it on as long as they can.


Gibber your back already! Bet that time flew by. I am in a negotiation for a building and I had to cancel my trip to Vegas.

I was wondering if by any chance you ended up paging me at Ceasars ?..... I can hear it now ringing through all the halls.

Scott King of Dogs please meet theGibber at the statue of David !


Hope you had a good time. Where are your NCAA wagers ?

I got some ideas on a TITFD play ! mulling it over..

I think we got him. That guy just doesn't have the right look. If not, the scumbag will be trying to slither out of the country and we've got that covered.

I have a very dear friend who just happens to work at the sybaris suites in Pakistan. He told me that 2 days ago, two middle easterners matching the description of Sadam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden checked into a room. They were caught boofing by the room service staff and asked to leave before US authorities could arrive.:moon: :moon:

First thing I said when I saw that guy was that it wasnt Saddam. This guy loves the attention to much to send a double in if he wasnt injured. I'm not sure yet he's dead.....but I think he was at least injured in that attack.

Senior intelligence sources said a "preliminary voice print analysis" indicated that the man on the tape was Saddam and not one of the doubles he uses for security reasons.

Of course that's no match for you guys with your "his face was too fat" and your "he's too vain to wear glasses" and "a friend of a friend saw him check into a hotel with osama bin laden."

You guys kill me.

voice couldda been him, but face recognition analysts point out 4 different "husseins" and one of the ones other than saddam "read" that message.....

looks like Saddam was at least shaken up a bit
