New Broadcast reveals Saddam Hussein may be ALIVE

Fox News

[Mister Magoo]

Actually, this is good news. If he was dead, and we never found his body, people would be saying for years that Saddam escaped. I want his head on a stake on the White House lawn.

[chuckles]

Israel web site www.debka.com reports that he is in a 1600 room hotel on the Mediteranian in Syria.

We will win the war when we finally find the DVD changer with the Saddam disks in it.

Another thread up on FR right now touts it as "live". I'm not watching the tube, so I have no idea.

One thought I did have was he could be referring to the "farmer/helicopter" incident because it is the only success they've accomplished during the entire war, LOL.

But it would still be easy to just hold up a newspaper if he wanted the truth to be known as to exactly what date the tape was made or when the broadcast originated.

[ArneFufkin]

Working for "Housekeeping"?

[A Citizen Reporter]

"That Apache was NOT shot down, those guys dancing around the landed Longbow were NOT farmers - the official Iraqi explanation of the AH-64 downing (mechanical no doubt) was crafted to jibe with the tape that Saddam made before his death."

All facts that escaped Simon Marks' reporting of this event.

[bigjoesaddle]

Has anyone seen 'Black Hawk Down'? I havent. Is this how they brought down the Helecopters in that movie, by smaller gun fire?

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

First he is dead, then alive but the tapes are fake. So the only logic is he fled Baghdad or is still there hiding like a coward with civilians or in some bunker tunnell under the Tigris-AND he made the tape cause he got SO MAD that our government said the tapes were fake.THEREFORE we track him and smell him out and gain intel.

[Yankee]

The Yankees are undefeated at this point, as is the United States.

If he's alive, he's a lame duck.

At a time and place of our choosing.

[dogbyte12]

He could consider Basra a success and mention that. How about encouraging other Muslim soldiers to frag their officers tents? That is something Saddam would be crowing about if alive. He could mention alot of little "successes" that are verifiable other than the "farmer incident"... which has only been "vetted" by Iraqi TV.

[ladtx]

Good deal. I hope he's alive. I'm anxiously waiting for the "perp walk."

[texasbluebell]

That's not the real guy. This is the guy who was on right after we hit the bunker 2 weeks ago.

This is the one with the glasses and small shoulders.

But people are assuming that since "he" referred to more current events it's the genuine article.

[GreenGrouper]

Broadcasting LIVE - from Syria!

[PhiKapMom]

According to intelligence, Saddam always tapes his speeches he delivers to the Iraqi people. Andrea Mitchell said her sources believe this tape could be current.

[Constitution Day]

"full Mussolini" treatment... sounds good to me.

[CasearianDaoist]

longbows did not exist then.

Saddam Hussein Appears on TV

[Cate]

The lighting in that video is funky. The shadow over his body is so dark, its hard to see Saddam. My money is on the fact its a double or a prior videotape. He's dead or pretending he's MR. POTATOHEAD.

Saddam refers to farmer who shot down helicopter

A story which originated in Iraqi propaganda in the first place. The propaganda could have easily been framed to fit the tape.

If Saddam mentiones a current event that was 1)not easily predictable before the decapitation strike and 2)outside Iraqi power to cause or fabricate, that will be evidence that he's alive. The "farmer shoots down helicopter" yarn fails the latter test.

[Freebird Forever]

None of this Bin Laden type stuff

If bin laden is still breathing, how come he hasn't weighed in on the liberation of Iraq?
