Yes, but if it was prerecorded, he probably would look better and not have to read from notes. If I had to bet, I'd bet he's alive....but scared Daschle-less.

I personally think he is in North Korea, or somewhere else. I don't think he would be stupid enough to stay there.

On one of the news channels this morning, it was reported that our intelligence was so good that we knew Saddam was recording messages inside a van, preparing for the possiblity that he would be out of communication, for one reason or another. It seems to me that if he had just escaped an attempt on his life, he would have mentioned that fact. His comments, other than the date, were completely generic.
