What kind of dictator would wear THOSE glasses for any speach he really cared about?

Sure would be interesting to know if and who they nailed with the first air strikes...

Seriously.......

Look at that picture of Saddam. Is he really as mad as we think??? Mad about Lenscrafters maybe!

Looks like Harry Carry during Halloween.

....and yes, it was obviously taped.

One of his look-alikes? "YOU IDIOT! You were to take the glasses off BEFORE the camera was turned on!"

Mad about Lenscrafters!!! LOL!

Holy Cow!

Reminds me of "Fearless Leader" from the old Rocky and Bullwinkle show.

heh heh
To me, he looks like he's ready to enter stage right in a swing dancing Gap commercial.

I wonder if Saddam (or whomever that is) said to himself....

"I'm going to be on TV alllll over the world - I HAVE to pull out the big glasses - I just have to!!"

Maybe those glasses are the weapons of mass destruction they were looking for??? I'm sure you could melt an entire nation if the sun shines through those monsters just right!

he in all probability has made many tapes for these circumstances, to show he is still in power and command. there is no way to know just by the tape if it was made days or weeks before or after the target of opportunity strike. but it was surely him on tape.

You guys know Saddam's a big romance novel fan. He reads them voraciously; has also written a few. Didn't see any of his work on Amazon.com, however. :(

If we hit Saddam; It begs the question; Who is keeping up the illusion, and why?

I was not certain that was really him either. The glasses, the hat, the color of the moustache, & possibly maybe too many chin / neck wrinkles. :) But what do I know...I have hardly ever really looked at him anyway. ;)

Gov't analysis says the tape was of Sadam. They're also saying he was injured in the initial strike; speculation that he was carried out on a stretcher.

His two sons were in the bunker, too, though they aren't sure which two sons and if they're alive.

Fox news . . . Saddams speach --67 edits were made.

Saddam -- You are the weakest link -- goodbye.

Charles Nelson Riley anyone?...

Does anyone expect that Saddam is still alive?

When the google-eyed glasses speech broke, I though; he's gone!

BTW, from the Washington Post:
"Saddam's personal bodyguard was seen at a weekend press conference standing behind Iraqi Defense Minister Sultan Hashem Ahmed. Intelligence officials believe the bodyguard provided security only to the dictator.

So does this mean Defense Minister Hashem Ahmed is calling all the shot's?

Anyone dare to speculate?

Does anyone expect Peter Arnett and Geraldo Rivera are still alive?
