Title: is Saddam dead?
Post by: Ghosth on March 20, 2003, 09:18:48 AM: 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.

Post by: mjolnir on March 20, 2003, 10:29:15 AM: 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?
Title: is Saddam dead?
Post by: Rasker on March 20, 2003, 10:34:16 AM: 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.

Post by: davidpt40 on March 20, 2003, 10:42:37 AM: The first thing I noticed before even thinking about it being a double was "His voice sounds different".

Post by: Toad on March 20, 2003, 11:01:51 AM: 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?
Title: is Saddam dead?
Post by: Saurdaukar on March 20, 2003, 11:04:23 AM: 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.

CBS: 'Senior Officials' Think Saddam May Not Have Survived
Thu Mar 20 2003 10:33:00 ET

"I am being told by several senior officials not to take that taped speech Saddam gave last night as proof that he survived the attack," CBS NEWS reporter David Martin said on air.

"They say the evidence that put him in the bunker last night was very reliable, and they are confident that the cruise missiles and bunker-busting bombs that were fired at that bunker last night hit the target. So now, intelligence experts are studying the tape to determine if it is really Saddam, or a body double which he is known to use from time to time. And they are running a computerized voice analysis, comparing that speech with known recordings of Saddam's voice. But that's a process that takes awhile. So we may not have a quick answer."

"There is considerable belief in this government that they may, in fact, have gotten Saddam."

Developing...

Post by: john9001 on March 20, 2003, 12:06:04 PM: i've seen better "saddams" on sat night live, he didn't even shoot his rifle into the air, the sadam i know is confident and arrogent, that man last night looked like a high school teacher reading a class asignment,
on the other hand, saddam is under a lot of stress, (see hitler defending berlin in his bunker) and could be taking meds for stress. time will tell.

Post by: NUKE on March 20, 2003, 07:47:00 PM: I heard on the radio today that the rumours of Tarik Asis being dead had something to do with finding Saddam.

They say that when Tarik Asisi appeared at the press conference to show he was alive, US special forces tracked him back to a meating with Saddam afterwards.

Post by: devious on March 21, 2003, 03:18:54 AM: I don`t know how insane he really is - he might just want to duke it out to the end. If I were Saddam, I`d get a shave and a quick face job, and go to a Jordanian refugee camp for a while, before chilling in Papua New Guinea or somesuch.
