Nothing follows

Yes, being a double is great, wonderful perks and good money... until people try to lob a Jdam down your throat
:o(

[photogirl]

We're praying for you, hope you are safe.

[JustPiper]

Sh*t, maybe it's a body double.

One of his 42 stand-ins

[PRND21]

I say it was him, though taped.
I'd love to find out the wars first strike blew his bereted head off his shoulders, however.

[nopardons]

Yep, that was Saddam. He doesn't have much longer to live, though. :-)

[Tamzee]

I know how we could figure this out, just ask Dam Rather... he was the last "westerner" to see him up close and personal.

He should be able to tell pretty quickly if that was the fella he got so cozy with a few weeks ago...

[mass55th]

"What a rotten time to be a Saddam double. No wonder his hands were shaking."

Somebody was probably standing off-camera holding a gun on him.

[two23]

Thanks...

[agincourt1415]

Pentagon and Fox news notices that this might be a pre recorded tape of Saddam.

[PRND21]

FOX says Al-Jezzara says the US struck Mosul earlier tonight because Saddam was believed to be hiding there.

[JustPiper]

Did anyone else see that couple of frames that looked like tape edited together? It seemed like the film slid to the side... almost like two separate tapings spliced together in one spot?

Absolutely, Brian Williams could not contain his laughter!

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

I would be the worst person in the world to be visiting you right now. I would be in the closet in a heartbeat. In fact I would grab a blankie and a pillow and sleep in that closet. The few times this California girl has been in any thing that looks like a tornado, well lets just put it this way... it wouldn't be pretty.

[Cultural Jihad]

That's because he's so bug-eyed he can't wear his contacts!

Haha!

[nopardons]

Caught it. :-)

Shep said that Saddam's speech WAS deffinitely tapped ... NOT LIVE !

[ambrose]

Maybe this is like the "second debate" version of Algore?

[JohnHuang2]

lol

[CatOwner]

Okay, if the speech was taped, why doesn't the Saddam look more like Saddam? I still say this tape is just misinformation to waste our time, with the help of the news media.

[two23]

LOL...we're used to it..in fact..as soon as my power-back-up unit starts beeping--my dog KNOWS and starts getting anxious. (power back up is more sensitive to power fluctuations that the TV and lights are, so it beeps alot during storms).
We are always prepared--but it's UNNERVING to have emergency alarms going off on cable TV after watching Bagdad earlier!!!!

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Ohhh I didn't think of that aspect of your situation. Keep us posted literally....
