The guy on TV sure didn't look like Saddam.

If he was in an underground bunker, its going to take awhile to find out if he's dead.

[stlnative]

Do you think it is the same person?
The left picture his from his video this morning, the middle picture is both pictures laying over each other, the right picture I believe was taken less than 2 days ago. (not a very good overlay...but it makes me wonder if it is the same Saddam in both pictures)

[Straight Vermonter]

The Saddam on the right seems to be much more jowly.

[JudgemAll]

Jaw bones and cheek bone line patterns seem quite different.

No chin dimple and has an astigmatism

If the guy on the left really is Saddam, I'd bet that his dispensing optician was one of those tossed in the shredder...

That might be my editing... I think the eyes are different, he seems to have smaller eyes in the left picture (maybe it is just the glasses throwing me off). I was just fooling around and thought I would try overlaying the pictures just to see what it would look like.

Doesn't Saddam have a small dimple in his chin? At least one of his sons has one as well (don't remember the other son's picture).

Your far right video picture shows no such feature.

[stlnative]

your right about the dimple in the chin... it is not showing up in the left picture... but really shows up in the right picture.

That so-call Saddam on TV is not the real Saddam,,
I believe the real Saddam is dead, Killed by the bombs.

I would put the word out on radio in Iraq that Saddam and
most of this generals are dead.

Then wait .

The guy who escaped recently that was a double for one of Saddam's sons also had no dimple in his chin while the actual son does.

Great pictures. The BBC World is reporting now that US intelligence actually targeted a high level meeting between Iraqi Military leaders that could have included Hussien. Some buildings were struck and some nearby vehicles were struck. I think the key aspects in the photos are the chin and the eyes. You cannot fake the Natural Born Killer Stare in the real Hussiens eyes. Also, the mustache on the fake Saddam has its color slightly off compared to the eyebrows. As others on Freerepublic have reported.

As usual, the leftist saddam lapdog media is claiming that since the real Saddam had a 'post strike' speech shown on state TV, the US strikes obvously failed. Obviously the Saddam lapdog media has missed the two key points. First - We struck at the Captial of Baghdad. Their air defense is useless against our cruise missiles and stealth fighter bombers. Second - Even if Saddam did survive, others key military leaders may have not.

Kuwait Under Alarm - Told to put on Gas Masks

[Joe 6-pack]

I know guys that can pluck their eyebrows and thin them out over a few day's time. I don't know of any who can grow them bushier in the same time frame.

[justa-hairyape]

Yep, Apparently some missiles landed in Northern Kuwait. Media all excited because their socialist hero Saddam got a couple off. Everyone in the area put on gas masks. BBC World was playing this up to the hilt.

[Remember Ruby Ridge]

Doesn't Saddam have a butt-crack chin?

[Tennessee_Bob]

RE: Astigmatism - I remember reading the other day that he doesn't let the press photograph him wearing his reading glasses.

[goldstategop]

Butt ugly reading glasses. I guess he couldn't afford a TelePrompter for the speech.

[Claire Voyant]

The Nose looks totally different.

George Tenet gave Bush the info......George Tenet is inept...imho. Let's pray he gave Bush good advice.
