Just in case of die, do you think that like sadam had some double, George W bush, or other presidents can have doubles ?

I believe it is much harder to locate or create the double for a genetic mistake like George W Bush.

BTW, the movie 'Dave' was quite interesting on the subjet matter.

I don't know, that blank stare is a little hard to duplicate...

2-This suposition is more "Sci-Fi", but after all who know... Do you remember this illness (I cant remember the name of the syndrom), that make people old very fast... Some people think that in fact it was a US experiment to make "clone" older faster...

I believe the disease is called Progeria... interesting hypothesis...

Of course he has doubles, what do you think the monkeys in zoos are for?


Seriously George W.Bush isnt that brainy to think of having a double, but who knows?

It's really funny that some people think Bush is running this country ON HIS OWN. EVERY president has numerous people writing speaches for him, analizing intel data, making suggestions, advising a double, etc... We're not relying on one man's brain (or lack of one as some of you would think). We're relying on a bunch of people working together. It's ALMOST as much their fault as it is Bush's when something goes wrong. The President only knows what he is told by his advisors about what's going on in the world, he's not out there looking at radar screens and pin-pointing enemy threats by himself. He's got BUTTLOADS of people to do that FOR him. But HE only knows what THEY tell him. A bad decision could have a cause as simple as bad information. (In otherwords, the decision that was made could have been exactly the right thing to do with the info provided... but if the info given was wrong, then the decision no longer fits the situation well).

See where I'm going with this?

ANYWAY... main point was that Bush wouldn't have to think of having a double... someone would SUGGEST it to him if it was necessary.

Good point Grey. This would most likely be done (if at all) for the president and not at the president's request.

If he doesn't, I certainly hope he considers it. Look how well it's worked for Saddam.

in an overt dictatorship...as without the dictator, things fall to pieces. Unlike such a dictatorship, we would (and have in the past) function just fine, and soon the niche would be filled by the Vice pres., etc. Simply put, there is no NEED for a double.... Though, presidential motorcades, etc. often have decoys....

I think it would be much harder in the US to have a presidential double than it would be in Iraq.

In the US, the president is under constant TV scrutiny, in Iraq, he controlled what was broadcast (and wasn't too fussy it they were that exact).

Gazrok raises a good point about motorcades, so it's probably common to hide the president, but I don't think the US president has body doubles.
