Eyewitness says he saw Saddam in Mosul

[DuctapeFatwa]

Dubai-based al-Arabyia satellite television Thursday quoted an eyewitness as saying that the former Iraqi President, Saddam Hussein was seen in Iraq's northern city of Mosul and he "looked fine."

This report came less than 24 hours after the U.S.-led civilian administration in Iraq started putting up new wanted posters that carry the faces of Saddam and his two dead sons, Uday and Qusay.

2. Why are the posting his 2 dead sons?

Isn't that rather pointless? Or do they just want to piss the Iraqi's of even more?

Iraqi gas station attendant has motorists doing double take

BY LAURIE GOERING
Chicago Tribune

AL OUJA, Iraq - (KRT) - Saddam Hussein, dressed in a greasy blue jumpsuit, spends his afternoons pumping gas at this sleepy village's service station, just south of his hometown of Tikrit.

Or at least that's how it looks to visiting motorists who pull in for a fill-up and quickly do a double take at Mohammed Hussein Daoud, with his unmistakeable heavy jowls, bushy mustache and big dark sunglasses.

"All of us around here have one grandfather," an ancestor nine generations back, "so it's inevitable," explains the 54-year-old Saddam look-alike. "My name is similar, and so is my face."

Similar doesn't begin to describe Daoud's resemblence to the missing dictator, a distant cousin who for a time attended the same grade school. Though Daoud was never recruited as one of Saddam's official stand-ins, he could be his double: Same paunch, same bushy salt-and-pepper eyebrows, same lined face and sagging cheeks. All he lacks is a rifle in his raised hand.

4. Don't you know

all those Iraqis look a like?

I'm sure by next year, Saddam sightings will surpass Elvis sightings.

7. This Artucle Came Out In Chicago's Tribune Some Weeks Ago, My Friend

It has many humorous elements, my own favorite being the number of soldiers who come to have a souvenier picture taken with their arms around the fellow's shoulder.

10. I seen it then, Sir. Heck. I may have even posted it?

If I was this gentleman I would watch my back very carefully. Never know when little boots will need another photo shoot to boost his poll numbers and this poor fellow may find himself laying on a slab somewhere with a few dozen reporters looking at his body saying to one another, "yup, that is Saddam Hussein alright". And that will be the end of that.

8. You would think that if ...

the US was actually looking for Saddam, we would have at least a few of his many doubles in custody.

I don't think the US is "really" looking for him. Let's face it as long as Saddam (and Osama) are "at large" this AWOL administration can keep the perpetual war going.

Lets hope the people wake up and choose to stop this nonsense.
