Only his dentist knows for sure...

But, I have no reason to think it's an imposter, unless of course the government is trying to pull a fast one. And this is another of his doubles.
Do you figure the real guy is dead?

The government might fool Joe Blow on Main Street, USA, but there's no way they could fool Sahim Ahmed-Blo on Palestine Street, NE, Baghdad, Iraq.

Everyone knows that Saddam had doubles. It was easy to see that everyone who was ever in his entourage wore the same uniform and had the same style mustache as his. However, we are not talking about one of Saddam's frequent staged public appearances.

We are talking about the trial of the Butcher of Baghdad. The Iraqi people, who lived under his oppressive and brutal regime, are not interested in a trial of his doubles. They are interested in bringing Saddam Hussein to justice and yes, I do believe that the Iraqi people have ways to be certain that the man on trial is Saddam. What would be the purpose of trying an innocent look-alike, if the "real McCoy" could produce a video tape à la Osama bin Laden?

Well , they say Clinton has a double, they said so the other day when Bush Jr paid a visit to Afghanistan. They even went into detail at MSNBC on how the fake Clinton was on a bogus airplane, made to look like the real presidential one, and how this "clinton" helped out in a covert operation.

Well......If thats the case, wow, anything is possible.

It wouldnt be that hard to figure out if it was the real Saddam they have his family DNA from either of his two dead sons or living family members. There is also biometric technology which look a likes cant fool and they dont use your teeth. Teeth change over time they can grow crooked fall out etc.. or can be radically changed with veneers, caps. Things like the distance between your eyes and other key points in relation on the face dont really change.

I personally dont understand why any look alike would continue the farse even after Saddam was out of power. The guy has a huge public venue to scream Im not the real Saddam if that was the case.

Do you have links, dg? My search turned up nothing.

Sorry, no links and furthermore, i havent heard another word about it.

I am telling you the truth. They went into quite a lengthy explanation of this.

I still figured it was worth mentioning it.

I was shocked when i heard that.

Looks like the same Saddam Insane to me.



Doesn't look like an underbite and there isn't too many photos of him smiling lately.

I hope you keep posting and good to see you back here.

Please continue to post! There's soooooo much to talk about!

Well, he was ill back then and almost dying, and one day just suddenly, he was all better.

The guy in court now is the real saddam why would they force him to wear a beard, are they attempting to cover something up?

The real Saddam never wore a beard, always a neat mostache, he was not a religious man he was almost an athiest with socialist and secular ideas, he's hero was stalin and he kept his mostach like that.

What's more Saddam never wore glasses in public, it would have been a sign of weekness, just as hitler never whore his glasses, HOWEVER, now in court it seems that the glasses they give "pseudo-saddam" keep getting bigger and bigger every weak, the last one i saw where ridiculously huge clown sized glasses with thick lenses.

What are they attempting to hide???


--------

Anyway, a true conspiracy theorist would know, that even though the powers that be, try to make it as if one man is in controll of everything, that is hardly the case.

These heads of state are nothing but actors. Just read george orwells description of big brother, it's exactly the same as stalin, saddam... it's all so formulaic.

we all know who runs the shadow government.


So wether or not they replaced the actor... i don't know how much of a difference that will make to the story.

syntaxer,
You are seemingly an intelligent and astute individual.

Having said that, I have just a couple questions:
Between twitchy and yourself, among any others who side with the "doppelganger" theory, I find it ironic that between teeth and photos, neither of you have posted the news articles--which have been linked multitudes of times already within a diverse number of past ATS topics on this matter--concerning the DNA tests that were taken to determine and identify the real Saddam from the poser(s).

Now why is that?

Irony aside, being teeth can be created to fit and match, being that cosmetic surgery can create a "doppelganger," can DNA also be created and implanted into a poser(s) to 100% match that of the real Saddam--in other words, so that when DNA testing is done, the poser(s) tested is/are 100% verified as the real Saddam?


If photos, which can be computer enhanced, and teeth, which amount to a set of dentures, are your only proofs and evidences for asserting that the US/Iraqi held Saddam is a poser and that the real Saddam is in Bush's White House basement sipping on some fanciful alcoholic beverage--your choice--then I would suggest that what you two are simply spreading is incomplete misinformation and propaganda. You want to put the nail in the coffin, in respects to giving your arguments and assertions validity, then find and follow-up on those DNA tests that were done on the captured Saddam... you think?

I thought the skunkworks were for discussion and exploration of a theory rather than debunking? NEway...

Playing devils advocate for a second...

Were the DNA tests indepedantly verified? What if Saddam is after all is said and done, a CIA plant, and he's been "extracted"? I'm sure this has been mentioned before, just thought I'd repeat it.

First off, I was not necessarily debunking, sardion2000.
Secondly, I was merely making and asking a few observational questions.
In topics such as this, is it not the purpose of such spirited discussion to find the truth?
If the truth is priority, then there is no room for disinformation and propaganda. As such, why simply present photos and teeth as evidence and proof for a poser Saddam, while ignoring the fact that DNA tests were taken to verify a poser from the real deal?

Are my helpful questions not of merit in any quest to discover the truth in the matter of identifying poser from real?

Originally posted by sardion2000

Not 100% sure on that, hence suggesting that the DNA tests be followed-up on.
I do know that when the "Saddam" was captured, soon after transport to a US base, he was DNA tested by the US military, who had a record of the real Saddam's DNA makeup for matching purposes. What happened after, that is again apart of the follow-up process suggested.

What if Saddam is after all is said and done, a CIA plant, and he's been "extracted"?

Then that "what if" would go hand-in-hand with Saddam being in Bush's White House basement sipping on some fanciful alcoholic beverage, eh?

You can count me in with twitchy and that crowd on basically everything.

I respect what you are saying Seekerof. I'd like to know more about the DNA testing because isn't DNA only as good as the hands that gathered it and tested it? I mean, it's in the realm of having to trust the "experts" whereas any pair of eyeballs can see that Fat-Saddam is different in a lot of ways, not the least of which is his behavior.

I'm not on one side or the other, really, but the showy nature of the trial, and the way this Saddam is allow to act like a jackass when he is captured on videotape ordering men to die --well it's just silly.

If we were really just after Saddam (ludicrous) we would hang him and be done with it. But no, we are stirring up the jihadists. Saddam's job is to continue acting like a jackass. He is glad for any attention, as he has been from the start of his political career. Any duplicate of Saddam would presumably be instructed to act similarly belligerant.

The point is: You'll not hear this Saddam, fake or real, encourage peace among Muslims. Of this much, I am certain.
