#3 You guys crack me up...
I asked an Israeli once how does the IDF tell Palestinians and Israelis apart. He said all the Palestinians look the same.
Looking at these Iraqi military types, it seems the Saddam look is quite popular.

#4 I just wonder...couldn't Dan Rather have hidden a little electronic device in the CBS camera telling the U.S. the exact location where he went to meet Saddam?
How long does a Cruise Missile take to reach Baghdad? Less than 3 hours, right?
Ok Dan, sorry but its for your country and peace in the world...

#5 TGA---I do not think that Mr. Rather would sign on to such a job. Also, Saddam is too highly mobile and canny. Just on a twisted note...would it not be a hoot if Rather interviewed one of Saddam's doubles instead of the real ~~McCoy~~ Saddam?

#6 Absolutely possible. When Austria's far right politician Joerg Haider went to Baghdad he was talking to a double of Saddam. I just hope that the CIA knows who the right guy is when the smoke settles.

#8 Whatever but they should make sure that the right one is among them.
Actually I pity the doubles. Bet they are killed and replaced in regular intervals.

#9 "I just wonder...couldn't Dan Rather have hidden a little electronic device in the CBS camera telling the U.S. the exact location where he went to meet Saddam?" -- Sammy's not a total dope: Dan had to use an Iraqi gov't filming crew.

#10 How about his pacemaker then?

#11 I thought it was just me. How do you kill the guy?
It's like the "Saddam Lookalike Contest" over there.
