In a most bizarre stories ever heard, some people in Baghdad are claiming that they are seeing Saddam’s ghost in Baghdad public areas. Sources say, this may be a plot by the Baathists to keep Saddam ‘alive’ among the Sunni communities. Some claim he is seen in restaurants, markets and so on. It is possible many Saddam look-alikes are now more prominent and people are mistaking these look-alikes as possible Saddam. It is also possible that Saddam was such a threat that people just cannot believe he is dead and not coming back.
None of these possible ghost sightings are confirmed by any reliable sources or Iraqi authorities. Saddam Hussein was buried before dawn on Sunday in his native village of Awja, near Tikrit in northern Iraq, the head of his tribe and a family source said. Ali al-Nida, head of the Albu Nasir tribe, told Reuters the burial in a family plot took place in the early morning, less than 24 hours after the former president was hanged for crimes against humanity. He gave no further details.
A source close to Saddam's family confirmed his remains were interred at Awja, where his sons Uday and Qusay, killed by US troops in 2003, also lie in a family plot. The family had said he might be buried in the western city of Ramadi. Arab television stations broadcast new video images of Saddam's hanging, apparently shot on a low-quality camera by guards or other officials at the execution, taken from a different angle from footage shown on Iraqi state television.
He was shopping for a paper shredder.
With so many Saddam look alikes it wouldn't take a lot to see him walking around. Wonder how many doubles he did have?
Exactly!
You'd think he'd be too busy with his 72 virgins to be doing a haunting. Maybe he's hoping to make ceramics with Patrick Swayze.
A few days after Stalin's death, the Devil appears at the Pearly Gates and begs St. Peter to either let him in or to take Stalin, who has overthrown Satin.
St. Peter just shakes his head and says, "For years, you begged and pleaded for a human just as mean and nasty as yourself. And now that you have one, you want to give him back."
To this, the Devil replies, "Well, yes, but I didn't think you all would actually do it."
They're probably just seeing me.
Oh, except that I'm not in Baghdad. Right.
Who Ya Gonna Call?
Maybe pro-terrorist Father Benjamin made a deal with the devil to make Hussein stick around in purgatory until his followers can pay for enough indulgences to spring him. It's going to take a whole lot of oil vouchers but you never know...
Very astute post.
LOL
He's a fluke?
OMG rack itt ROFL
OMG that is a hilarious pic!
your picture reminded me of my suggestion for his method of execution.
Put him in a ten foot deep steel tank, place toilet seats over the top and let the populace drown him in a sea of Shiite..
Slow, foul and degrading, and great retribution for those that he had beaten and then thrown in raw sewage, and the added value is that thousands could particpate and feel they had made a "contribution" to his death.
