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.
Cool! I wonder if he'll show up in his old Presidential Palace we infidels are now using as our embassy in the Green Zone?
The day they announced his verdict, we seriously toyed with the idea of climbing up on one of those swords and hanging a noose. In the middle of the night, of course.
None of us got inebriated enough or was able to stay awake late enough to carry it out. LOL
Perhaps he's on the run from the devil.
Was saddam a lawyer? Story is told that there was a HOLE in the fence between heaven and hell. Bad guys were slipping through, running around and causing all sorts of havoc. Saint Peter had to go all over, collar them and throw them back over the fence.
Finally Saint Pete got really exasperated at this, and hands on hips, yelled at satan : Satan, if you don't fix this HOLE in the fence, I'm going to SUE.
Satan's reply : have you got any lawyers?
Supposedly....suicide bombers meet their 72 virgins...but what do evil dictators get?
I get the same accusations. LOL
