#18  Translation: Don't count Saddam or Osama as dead until the autopsy report is released to the public. The MSM spent the 60s and 70s all but promoting that the JFK/RFK/MLK assassinations were part of corrupt government actions and cover-ups. In other words, Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan didn't act alone.

Then after Oliver Stone's JFK movie, the MSM spent the 1990s trying to prove the exact opposite of what they were pushing in the 60s and 70s. Also, other intelligence agencies and organized crime do make use of doubles. The US isn't the only one to do so.

(wipes sweat from forehead).

#16  ou813, you'll know you're a full-fledged Rantburger when suddenly JosephM's less baroque posts make perfect sense. I remember the day the switch clicked in my brain -- and now I find my private notes full of useful JosephM shorthand. Be patient my dear, it will burst upon you one day if only you wait and are good. ;-)

#14  Saddam = Osama, etc. in that he should NOT be discounted as dead until sn sutopsy is done and formally released to the public. THINK JFK-RFK-MLK REDUX > MSM spent the late 1960's + 1970's all but promo various conspiracy theories depicting Govt corruption and related cover-up(s), e.g THAT OSWALD/SIRHAN DIDN'T ACT ALONE, then after Ollie Stone's JFK came out spent the 1990's to present depicting why Govt is NOT corrupt = perverted + e.g. WHY OSWALD/SIRHAN DID ACT ALONE. ALSO, WORLD INTEL = BLACK OPS = MAFIAS DO MAKE USE OF "DOUBLES", FAKE OR REAL. The good news is that US INTEL, etal. is NOT the only Nation = Major Power that does it.

#13  But you leave out UNreasonable doubt.

#12  Well, the fact is that no one could play rock/paper/scissors (and pencil and tiger hand) like Saddam. So, it's proven that it was Saddam that hung, beyond any unreasonable doubt.

#8  I remember the shots of him working the street crowds during the war and thinking, "The whole country's a Saddam Hussein Lookalike Contest. No wonder they can't find the bastard."

#7  I knew a Jordanian a decade ago who was the spitting image of Saddam. I always thought, you're living in the US now, trim the mustache.

Thank god he didn't wear a beret.

#6  Actually, we hanged Mumia, stuck Castro in Mumia's cell, and shipped Sadaam off to Castro's hospital bed in Havana, where he's plotting to further the glory of La Revolucion by giving it a distinctive Baathist twist.

#5  My theory is that they captured and traded him to the space aliens years ago for the plans to the Halliburton Earthquake/Tsunami machine but had to put the double on trial and hang him to make it look good and cover everything up.
Anis Al-Daghidi should be expecting a visit from the hunter killer dolphins any time now. They haven't been doing much since Katrina...

#3  I was dropping off something at ACE Mail Center (NE OK) few days ago and in the car beside me... a familiar face, too familiar. I and my wifey looked at each other and both said at the same time: "That guy looks like Saddam!"

He had a honda civic, somewhat decrepit and there was that type of plastic sheet stuck to the side windows that prevents peering inside, but with the signs of age as the whole car covering just the middle part of the window. We saw the guy as he was just sitting down on the seat and before closing the door. He looked about 10 years younger than Saddam, but almost a perfect clone. Felt sorry for the guy.

#2  Excuse me, I believe you will find it was his fembot clone that was executed. His double we are keeping in reserve.
