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.

This was the end of February, Desert Storm 1, 1991.

In ninety hours of continuous movement and combat, VII Corps achieved impressive results against the best units of the Iraqi military. Franks' troops destroyed more than a dozen Iraqi divisions, an estimated 1,300 tanks, 1,200 infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, 285 artillery pieces, and 100 air defense systems, and captured nearly 22,000 men. At the same time, the best Iraqi divisions destroyed only 7 MlA1 Abrams tanks, 15 Bradleys, 2 armored personnel carriers, and 1 Apache helicopter. And while killing unknown thousands of enemy troops, VII Corps lost 22 soldiers killed in action.

Only believe half of what you see. If he WASN'T dead, he would be, three seconds after sticking his fat head up.

1 Apache helicopter. 1991

Can you do a photo comparison of the body guard then went missing about a week ago and showed up at that "press conference"?

[Howlin]

Have you seen him lately? :-)

[vigilante2]

it was probably made after the clinton bombing of iraq

[arichtaxpayer]

This has gotta be from 1991 after the war. To me he looks thinner. We have too many special ops there for him to go out.

[mdittmar]

bill clinton promises,checks in the mail,bit by moose.

[Petronski]

Wow, I'm convinced.

[mabelkitty]

I'm confused.

The Disinformation Minister was on television reading a statement about the airport and how we are going to be attacked.

If this were Saddam, why wouldn't he have read this?

Saddam is dead, folks.

[ILBBACH]

How many security guards are with him?

It looks like couple hundred...

[mabelkitty]

How about
Democratic Family Values

[John H K]

OK, I'm descending into vague rambling here which I normally don't do...

But your mention of Clinton jogged my memory...

For some reason, the idea that I remember a street scene of Hussein walking the streets of Iraq past damage from the Desert FOX bombings under Clinton entered my brain.

I could be totally off my rocker.

Saddam 'cuddles baby on Baghdad walkabout'

(AP) - Saddam Hussein has cuddled a baby during a walkabout in the streets of Baghdad.

Lebanese TV showed video footage allegedly of the Iraqi leader being cheered by crowds.

Satellite station Al-Jazeera TV also showed Saddam picking up a baby during the impromptu public appearance, in what could be an Iraqi bid to prove he is still alive.

The video footage, although billed as live, was broadcast after dark in Iraq and Saddam was seen walking, surrounded by chanting Iraqis, in the daylight.

Meanwhile, thousands of Iraqi's have ignored his pleas to stay and fight, and are fleeing Baghdad after US troops seized the capital's airport.

Civilians packed food and belongings into trucks, buses and cars in a mass exodus from the city's northern and north-eastern districts.

Some witnesses described queues of vehicles extending bumper-to-bumper as much as six miles. Many were headed to the province of Diala, north-east of the capital.

Earlier, Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf promised an unconventional response to the advance of coalition troops and said he was referring to commando and suicide attacks.

Well it ought to be easy to figure out where it was filmed, given the Big Chicken statue in the background. Either it was Baghdad, or Marietta, GA.

[PhiKapMom]

I love your dog!

General Downing just asked from Kuwait why on a 100+ day would some people around Saddam be wearing jackets. He said it is hot in Kuwait and even hotter in Baghdad and these people do not look hot!

[shotgun]

Yeah just like Howard Hughes.

[Howlin]

I'm wondering if we don't have a vault full of films on Saddam to compare this to.

[VadeRetro]

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.

Missed the baby footage before shooting off the mouth, of course.

Sorry...where's the link?
