Who's to say that it's A) Saddam and / or B) Baghdad?

A) It could be a double. B) I think that statue in the background shows that at least part of it was filmed in Baghdad.

Every freakin' Iraqi mud-hut village on up to the biggest cities has at least one statue and / or mural of Saddam. He was running a cult of personality on top his ruthless dictatorship.

Just because the Minister of Information says the location of the video is Bagdad doesn't make it so.

There is a "unity" statue of a bird that might indicate that it is Baghdad. However, as pointed out by many Freepers, this tape is old. It was 95 degrees in Baghdad today. The low was probably in the mid 60s. Yet the Iraqis were wearing jackets and long sleeved shirts.

An appearance by Saddam is not to inspire confidence but fear. It say's "I remain". It says "I will reach out from the grave to strike you down along with your family."

It gets more Orwellian by the day. He's not Stalin, he's Big Brother. I've read that he may have died as far back as 1998. I don't think I believe that though because one of the sons would have taken over or at least there would have been a big fight. What I DO believe is that we got all three of them and this charade is the only way the Gang of Thugs^® can keep the wheels from coming off.

This regime is truly like the proverbial chicken without a head, running around in circles spouting blood, unaware that it is already dead.
