Iraqi TV: Saddam Hussein (or double)walking down street

Video shows Saddam walking down alleged Baghdad Street. Typical Iraqi celebration with Iraqis dancing on street with guns. Saddam embracing a kid. I think you can see a fire the background from an oil well. Overcast day.

RUSH JUST SAID "THIS IS NOT SADDAM!"

Then my mind is made up... Rush has spoken

[VadeRetro]

I saw part of this. The part I saw, at least, is like the other "recent" tape. He doesn't move his left arm much at all anymore.

Too bad it's dark in Iraq 12:30 pm + 8:30 Baghdad.

But if it were light out, bombs away.

[TADSLOS]

Saddam makes the rounds, lifting spirits high, high, high!

[Howlin]

Exactly!

Fox News scroll is now: Iraqi TV Shows Saddam Visiting "Bomed Area" of Capital. Al Jazeera reports Saddam pictures are from today.

Can't be live. It's dark in Iraq now. But I woud'nt mind seeing what you mentioned!

[bigjoesaddle]

Absolutely..."All Hail Rush!"

I'm at work, so Rush is my "eyes".

Hey...isn't that the same arm that Osama doesn't move??? Come to think of it, I've never seen them together..................

[Howlin]

It's fake; people are not allowed to TOUCH Saddam.......EVER. He's scared to death of germs, etc.

This double seems to be moving his left arm freely -- to lift a baby, to make motions with his hands, etc. They are looking the tape for the most part now, over and over again.

Deception is key with these people.

[Cate]

Was there any significant landmarks in the background that we could refer to, such as, something we've since bombed?

[dawn53]

Did anybody else see the guy in the tape they're playing that is one of the reporters that is now in Qatar at Centcom briefings? He's a dark skinned man with white hair and moustache. I'm sure it was the same guy and he was just in the clip they showed.

[Kimlee]

haha. Sad day for them huh ;)

[MississippiMan]

It ought to be easy enough to find out if this happened today, whoever it is. I'm sure we have pretty good ongoing satellite coverage of Baghdad right now. Take a look and see if there were any throngs milling along the streets as shown.

I am not familiar with Baghdad. However, there is a statue of what appears to be a falcon near a river and there are some descript stores that you can see in the background. U.S. intelligence could totally figure our where it was taken.

There he was just a-walkin' down the street
Singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
Poppin' his lackies and a-whippin' on their feet
Singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
he looked good, he looked fine,
he looked good, he looked fine 'cept he's clearly lost his mind

[KsSunflower]

It's not Jazeera...it's Iraqi TV.
