Saddam "double" gives statement on Iraqi TV

Fox News Alert ^ | 19 MAR 03 | DCBRYAN1

That is a double speaking. Saddam doesnt have double chin!

[Hamilton2]

If it was Sadam.....I think it was a tape.

[CommandoFrank]

3 or 4 minutes into the 'tape' there is an editing splice.

Oops.....

Wolf Blitzer is slobbering all over himself to claim that it is Saddam. He is pathetic. I switche dback to Fox.

Who is Wolf Blitzer?

[Sofa King]

Keep in mind, most of the video and pictures you seem of Saddam are old. This could just be the effect of 10 years of age.

[Hamilton2]

He is a wannabe war correspondent who never was able to gain any credibility. On CNN

My guess is the Saudi Royals have a dont touch rule on Osama. No such rule for the secular Saddam.

[prisoner6]

Agreed. sounded like marching orders to....ummmmterrorists in lseeper cells?

Went back on TiVo and looked at the man who read the script, then found some photos of the real Saddam online - that jumped out at me. (Also, at the end of the Iraqi TV feed, FNC broadcast a photo of Saddam on the left - that's when I noticed the glaring difference.)

[nopardons]

Shep, on FOX, just said that after carefully checking, IT WAS TAPPED . You caught it, even without looking at it with some sort of machine. :-)

[truth defector]

Was it really him? I have no clue. I did notice the Bill Clinton props, though. The glasses sympathy maneuver.

[BushCountry]

Here is the link, can someone post the pictures side by side.

Fox news mentioned a "half fade".

[Sir Gawain]

You just wanted to brag about your TiVo.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I said to my husband, "Look at his neck!" - it looked like there was a rubber edge moving around his neck. I swear, it did! LOL (I had ruled out a mask - that's wild.)

Lori Dhue just referred to him as someone "we THINK is Saddam Hussein"...few people are buying it.

[nopardons]

Lauri Du says that they don't think it WAS " live " and aren't claiming that it's Saddam, for certain. If we have killed Saddam, which one of his doubles, is going to " leaad " the war ? LOL

[paul544]

OMG! Now that I see it, THAT IS NOT HIM.

[kesg]

Someone just said, on CNN ( I switched to FOX now ), that Saddam has a DISTINCTIVE voice that ALL Iraqis know.

Exactly, but the guy didn't sound like Saddam, either. Saddam's real voice isn't nearly as high or shrill as the guy who was on the tape tonight.

[genxer]

I don't think it was him. Voice was out of sync (not the translator), think it was a tape.

Do I think Saddam sleeps with the fishes, I'm not sure, but to do this and get him in the first strike would be a miracle and the hand of our God. And if we could add UBL in the same day it would be a true victory for good and IMO a real miracle!
