New Broadcast reveals Saddam Hussein may be ALIVE

Fox News

[oceanview]

that is correct I think, he is the same person who appeared the first night. the hat (but no glasses), reading from paper copy. but still, it could be the real saddam. the problem is, is he in baghdad?

On Fri Feb 07, 2003 1:27 pm Chuck Hinson a minister at Tabernacle of David Church in Louisville, Ky made the following prophecy which can be found online at http://forums.strang.com/viewtopic.php?t=1059:

Prophecy B: The Death of Saddam Hussein: one of three confirming prophecies
The Prophecy:
Sadaam Hussein will be killed by the Iraqi people. His body will be hung in the street even as the Italians did to Mussolini during World War II

What EXACTLY did he say? Did he refer to a farmer?

He said, "now git down on your hands and knees and squeal like an ol' sow . . . come on! . . . eeee - eeeee - eeee . . ."

[Goodman26]

Let's hope he is alive. If he is not, then we've been fighting a headless monster for two weeks, and we'll have difficulty telling when and if we've finished it off.

If he is alive, then (a.) we get to kill him and (b.) there is still hope that a single event (namely his killing) can bring a sudden and clear end to this thing.

I doubt it's a double - facial recogntion software could pick up a double. A double could never have EXACTLY the same dimensions between mouth, nose, eyes, ears.

Yes. But...he has several doubles. The original could have died any time in the last couple years. Maybe his sons Wussy and Pussy and the senior Iraqis find it convenient to put the doubles in front of the media periodically as "Saddam". Unless we have some absolutely authenticated recent footage of the "real" Saddam, how would we know? I say recent because as people get older their features change (nose and ears get bigger, etc.)

Aziz would have bolted long ago if his patron had been killed in that opening shot

Aziz has nowhere to go. None of them do.

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 part of the Iraqi dog and pony show. The Iraqi Infomation Minister brings me laughter everytime he speaks. Never have I been too upset or feared anything he has said about Iraqi Operation Freedom.

[Marc Poor]

Very nicely done. lol

I don't like Mitchell but her sources during this war have been right on the money. I don't know who they are but they are deep in Intelligence from some of her reports.

[anymouse]

Could it have been "in the script" that farmers were suppossed to have shot down US aircraft? I'm sure Saddam had several pre-arranged scenarios taped and waiting to be played as events happened.

The dude has to get a lot more chatty about current events for me to be convinced that he is among the living.

[aardvark-pitcher]

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

That's reason enough to attack Syria next.

[Spiff]

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.

Absolutely. And it jives with some of the other stuff that has been reported lately. Didn't I hear a report that Iraqis used copies of "Black Hawk Down" to train their commanders how to fight an asymetric battle with U.S. forces?

[sweetliberty]

"Why isn't Saddam mentioning things going on in the world, such as arab council meetings, UN deliberations, whatever?"

Because he's dead. The bigger question is that if it is a double, how poorly informed is the double to not make specific references to current events either?

[jetson]

Sadam looked pretty bloated plus he looked as if he would wince when he lifted his arm. Perhaps his intestines are being held in place by duct tape and they have him on steroids.

[DaveManley]

[The Great Satan]

Aziz has nowhere to go.

There is no basis for that statement.

US intelligence now confirming the tape shows Saddam survived initial attack.

[oceanview]

they could have all gone to Syria after that first night, what do you mean "they have no where to go". sure they did.

[fivecatsandadog]

ROFLMAO!!!! That's a keeper!

When we see him with a copy of the New York Times

I understand your point, but how in the heck is anyone in Bagdad going to get a copy of the NYT or any newspaper not printed in the city for that matter?

[A_Niceguy_in_CA]

Me thinks he's hanging out with bin laden and that 72 year old virgin.

Helen Thomas?

Ain't she older than 72 though? Closer to 172 I think.
