Just Curious - Whatever Happened To All Of Saddam's Doubles?.....

[global1]

Will Saddam really hang or when the turnover from U.S. custody to Iraqi custody - will a switch be made to one of Saddam's doubles?

1. You'll probably get to see one in action in the coming days. NT

2. They are all hanging around Baghdad

:hide: just had to say it

3. I doubt it

First of all, it would be pointless. There's nothing to gain by hanging a doppelganger. Secondly, I think they've kept a pretty close eye on Saddam while in captivity. After all, he's one of the "prizes". Wasn't he the King on the infamous Deck of Cards issued to the military? No, I'm pretty sure the Saddam they hang is the real Saddam.

His doubles will crop up from time to time, just like Elvis sightings, and be fodder for inane conspiracy theories and blurry black and white photos in the Enquirer and other supermarket tabloids. Or, maybe they'll just get their own reality TV show, and good ole Baghdad Bob (or Regis Philbin) can host it.

4. There is really no way to know.

Saddam was our boy once upon a time. If he ends his days screwing incredibly pretty prostitutes and eating lobster newberg how will we ever know?

6. How about DNA confirmation?

They did it with his charming sons. I think the Iraqis are quite capable of testing this on their own, if they really need convincing.

Or, maybe you're right. Maybe he and Elvis will be seen at Red Lobster, laughing about big cars, velvet paintings, and busty women. That is, until Oswald, who also isn't dead, takes them both out with a single bullet.

8. When they do the DNA test, write me.

Until then you might spend your time learning some manners..

11. Relply, please.

It's is easy, isn't it, to talk shit?

7. We'll know because George Walker Bush is the embodiment of

Truth, Justice and The American Way.

5. They shaved. And were damned quick about it.

9. One will be hanged shortly--the real Saddam will be golfing with KennyBoy Lay in Paraguay

It's the least they could do for his keeping his mouth shut during the trial.

10. Wasn't their an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm that explained this?
