Joerg Haider: "US may have arrested Saddam's double" ["capture is a scam"; Israel is a dictatorship]

Vienna, Dec 17 - US troops may have arrested a double of Saddam Hussein and DNA testing does not prove conclusively that they have captured the Iraqi dictator, Austrian Freedom Party ex-leader Joerg Haider said late Tuesday.

Calling the capture "slapstick" and a "real scam", Haider told national ORF television: "This may be one of his many doubles."

"The saliva tests they did mean nothing if they did not have earlier specimens to which they could compare it," the former leader of Austria's far-right Freedom Party added.

Haider visited Saddam in Baghdad in February 2002 and caused a stir on eve of the Iraq war when he said he was prepared to offer the Iraqi leader shelter.

On Tuesday he said he felt that morally there was little difference between Saddam and US President George W. Bush.

"I would be hard-pressed to choose between the two. Both have acted at odds with international law, committed human rights abuses. The one has the good luck to lead a superpower ... while the other was just a poor dictator.

Haider also said that Saddam was not the worst dictator in the world, or in the Middle East.

"In comparison with other dictators from China, and to Israel I have to say, it is difficult for me to see what the differences is."

From Haaretz:

Joerg Haider slammed by fellow Austrian politicians for comparing Bush to Saddam, calling Israel a `dictatorship`

It would be kinder to his mother to ignore this.

The WH has Bin Laden too, don't ca know.

[Tabi Katz]

Who says Hitler died in a bunker?

We have in our possession nearly 400 lbs of Hussein Family DNA. We should be able to get a match from that.

Joerg Haider is the Austrian version of Howard Dean. Whenever you think of Howard, think of what he has in common with Haider. It all comes donw to one thing in common shared by both men:

All beer hall, no Putsch.

No difference, huh? Maybe we should even things up between them, huh? Maybe get rid of the US supply of nerve agent on Iran? Then you could make a more accurate comparison...

Haider also said that Saddam was not the worst dictator in the world, or in the Middle East.

"In comparison with other dictators from China, and to Israel I have to say, it is difficult for me to see what the differences is."

Iran's dictatorship is easily in the top 10. As far as Israel's "dictatorship," yup... That's what they've got... I guess they just keep magicly changing dictators every few years.

BONEHEADS!!!

They did have those earlier samples that they got from Dan Rather's blue dress.

I'm surprised someone as anti-american as Haider was kicked kicked out of office by the EU.

We have in our possession nearly 400 lbs of Hussein Family DNA.

Not to mention the several hundred pounds residing in Jordan, which was no doubt made available for sampling.

Umm .... sorry to break this, Jorg, but for me it was enough to look at the guy's face and I knew it was Saddam. You don't seem to have a very good memory for your buddies' faces!

It's all about appearances. The EU won't have dealings with anyone who's openly anti-Semitic.

[Ispy4u]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say, it's him.

I know there's still the indescribable odds 1 to (make up the largest number you can think of here) that one of Saddam's doubles was also a genetic match. NOT!!!!

Thanks for posting~!

[Cronos]

Heil Haider! What a putz. The Austrians don't really learn, do they? The good ones leave and come to the US to become governators!

We have Uday and Qusay's corpses... unless they are both doubles as well, and their father is one of Saddam's doubles.
