Saddam now on Iraqi TV. He appears to have survived initial decapitation attack

[Chadder007]

He looks different in every TV viewing of him. IB its one of his look alikes. Still no real proof.

Apparently, he was out walking the streets of Baghdad, too.

That definitaly was not him. He looks strange there.

Heck it could be Horatio Sans

ROFL...I can just picture Horatio dressed as Saddam and delivering an address in the style of Ferey Muhtar (the Turkish talk show host), complete with knuckle-kissing and fist-pumping.

Yeah, I think Horatio is severly underated as an SNL cast member. I love his skits.

You'd have to be media to believe that shot was him

I agree. I'd be willing to bet that was one of the 6 or 7 crash dummies he has on retainer.

This whole thing is bizarre.

They pointed out on one of the news channels that Saddam has always been very reluctant to ever meet people or even let them touch him. He is EXTREMELY paranoid about catching germs or being assassinated(which isn't hard to believe considering he assassinated a previous Iraqi "president" to reach his current position). For him to be out on the street is amazing.

He is very big on security which makes this even odder. Perhaps he got high and thought it was a good idea or, more likely, perhaps it's a double. The real Saddam wouldn't expose himself like this unless of course he thinks a small gesture like this will stir the millions of Iraqi's, that is if they could afford a TV and if the electricity was on.

I will say that I saw the tape and it did look like him.

I'm still hoping he's dead although dead or not, he has become powerless. Perhaps he is trying to cement his position in history although I doubt history will be very kind to him.

Ya it would be strange for Sadaam to appear out in the open like that, especially at a time like this. He is insanely paranoid and even has someone taste his food before he eats it to make sure it isn't poisoned.

I don't think that is him, if he's alive he is in his bunker 3 miles below the earth.

That Saddam didn't even look uneasy, he was grinning like an idiot, it seemed like he was unused to attention like that and was enjoting this new experience.

Anyone see this yet?

Who knows, I think he's dead or hiding.

Time reports CIA says it was him on TV

ROFL that's the worst double I've seen yet. He's over a foot taller, weighs about 30lbs less, and is wearing a face mask to look like Saddam.

BTW no the decapitation attack didn't kill him but yes it is all doubles we are seeing because
The real Saddam died of cancer in 1999
