I think they got Saddam in the strike last night.

CNN just put up side by side pictures of
"supposedly" Saddam after the attack, and a picture taken some time back.

There are several small differences.

I may be wrong, only history will tell.

But I think its all over but the cleanup.
And I think that the White House knows it.

He's not dead, he's just wearing Groucho glasses.

Had high hopes that with the coinsiding raid in Afghanistan we would get Saddam and Bin Laden on the same day.... woulda been nice.

I don't think we got him.

Did they attack his palace? You have some inside information? Or are you just being stupid?

We didn't hit a palace.

We caught signal intell about a "war cabinet" meeting. I hear we hit a bunker and a building complex.

Next question is, how many body doubles does he have? And how many do we have to kill before people believe that we got the real one?

I've heard he has 8 or more doubles; more to the point, info being given out that Iraqi forces seem to be behaving in uncoordinated manner, as if senior leadership is either incapacitated or out of communications. I dont think our strikes last night were big enough to keep him from communicating with his forces if he were alive and healthy. So we'll see soon enough.

The first thing I noticed before even thinking about it being a double was "His voice sounds different".

Reportedly they are running various photos through the new face recognition software developed (in part) for airport screening. There's a few different ones out there and I'll wager they run them all and try to decide after that.

Wonder how the know which one is the "real" one to begin with though. Is he the guy that just met Dan Rather or was that a double?

It wasnt a palace, but a bunker. They reported last night that F117's dropped 2 "bunker busters" to make an opening and then flooded the hole with about 2 dozen Tamahawks. Whatever was there we wanted very badly.

I noticed that his glasses were SHOCKINGLY SIMILAR to those worn by the French Ambassador to the UN. HMMMMMM
