AMAZING photo of Saddam during his capture... Never released!

[frogfromthenorth2]

Picture that wasn't released by the officials but seems to have been taken by a soldier during capture.




Note: Moving this from breaking news since it was not deem "newsworthy..." hehehe :evilgrin:

[CaptainClark23]

1. OJ's glove?

Interesting glove design, lower right hand corner. Military issue? Was it that cold that day?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

2. Rather than call it 'newsworthy' i'd call it profoundly sad.

Like someone said earlier, they were on a hunt, and this was their kill.

[Solomon]

3. I still believe he was drugged to the gills and this

picture supports my belief.

[grannylib]

6. I thought that too the instant I saw the picture...he looks out of it

[KansDem]

18. Yeah, he looks like he's at a rock concert...

or at least a few of the ones I went to... :smoke:

[maggrwaggr]

29. dude, that's funny! n/t

[calimary]

37. Or a dorm party -

like some of the ones I went to...

[grannylib]

4. Although he was clearly a monstrous dictator, I agree with the sad part

and I think it makes a sorry statement about one or two members of the military, that they would think it appropriate to pose for/snap this picture. This is NOT to say that I am anti-military, or don't support our troops, or that I am defending Saddam, or hate America, or love terrorists or any of that wrong-wing freeper shit...
but this strikes me as beneath us.

[Cannikin]

7. What is that copper rod-like thing that the hand in the lower right is

holding?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

9. Yeah, that's what I was getting at, it's our side lowered to the level of

people like Saddam. That's what's profoundly sad.

[NicRic]

48. Sad is the dead to catch this !

He looks like one of the mentally ill homeless we have walking around our cities. Not that all homeless are to be put in this box , however many of them do fit this picture. To think of our finest young Americans and innocent civilians that died,not to mention the billions of $ ,we wasted to catch this piece of crap ! Thanks bush you corperate whore !

[frogfromthenorth2]

5. DAMN FREEPERS...... they stole my title.... but we got it first

[frogfromthenorth2]

8. GOOD GRIEF.... look at what they have done with it....

[Screaming Lord Byron]

10. What is he doing with Saddam's back? Ewwwww!

That belongs in a David Cronenberg movie.

[fob]

36. Those freepers can't get anything right, bush*s face should

be over SH's, not the soldiers!

[OldSoldier]

50. Looks anal to me...

"Private Dubya, do you suck dicks?"

'Sir, no sir!'

"Are you a peter-pumper?"

'Sir, no sir!'

"I bet you're the kind of person who'd fuck a person in the ass and not even have the God-damn common courtesy to give him a reach-around. I'll be watching you!"

[grannylib]

22. Not the sharpest knives in the drawer, are they, those freepers?

Did you read some of that drivel? Hilarious if it were not so sad.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

11. America's New Standards...this is sick! we use to set the example for

the higher ideals of humankind....bush has destroyed all sense of decency :puke: i hope they treat bush with the same decency!!!

and why is that soldiers face blurred? could it be propaganda?

[frogfromthenorth2]

12. So he doesn't get in trouble because the photo is not an official release.

IMO

[theboss]

24. Huh?

What is wrong with the picture?

[KFC]

27. Sick?

They are just pulling that asshole out of the ground. No sign of abuse whatsoever.

[Cannikin]

30. No abuse...also no 'I am Saddam, and I want to degotiate..also,

No Pres. Bush sends his regards..

I'm not talking abuse. I'm talking another BS jessica lynch story.

[CalebHayes]

34. This is America!! We don't get a free pass to do whatever we want...

after 911. We still play by the rules because we are Americans. We can't act like they do.

[BeFree]

13. He is caught

Now let's bring him to America to stand trial.

We can try him for conspiracy to assasinate an American president.

We tried Noriega did we not? We can try Hussien. What do ya think, Frog?

[frogfromthenorth2]

14. His people should have a shot at him first.... That's what I think

[Cannikin]

15. Put your tin foil hats on for a moment......

Notice the hook at the end of the poll (right side, center), and the other
similar poll (lower right). He appears to be wrapped in a sleeping bag or
something. Did they lift him out of the hole unconscious? He doesn't
appear to be in shape to offer to negotiate.


:tinfoilhat:

[frogfromthenorth2]

16. Hum.... That doesn't sound far fetched....

[Screaming Lord Byron]

17. Or they were having a game of pick-up hockey just out of shot?

[Cannikin]

20. I cant help but think we've got another Jessica Lynch 'hero' story.....

[Screaming Lord Byron]

21. The way I see it, it was gas down the hole, then drag him out.

Or, the Kurds had dropped him off the back of a truck and left him to the US soldiers.

[Solomon]

49. Exactly Lord Byron. I thought the same

thing the day they reported it. Only an idiot would not first put gas in the air pipe before trying to get him out. He was drugged to the gills when they "captured" him.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

19. i see the hook and the sac Saddam i n .........that's the truth of it

[PVnRT]

25. Did they pump the hole full of sleeping gas?

That might explain it, but who knows. You are right, though, that man is either out of it or high or I'm a hobbit.

[rman]

26. more foil: doesn't look like Saddam to me

doesn't even look like a muslim.

[PVnRT]

28. And what, exactly, does a Muslim look like?

Is there some standard that they conform to?

[rman]

47. dark skin for one

-

[ArkDem]

40. Poll? Was he voting?

.

[creativelcro]

23. Wow, bad burn on that soldier's face...

[frogfromthenorth2]

31. MAN....Can these creeps be more pathetic than this?!?!

I found this you know where....

[frogfromthenorth2]

32. Funny... this is the only News Link I found about this picture and it's

in the UK... Here, I saw it on TV this morning (French Canadian news channel)

[ElsewheresDaughter]

33. Cananda...America's Conscience...thanks

[frogfromthenorth2]

41. Damn...that would of been a grat Handle: Imyourconscience

[frogfromthenorth2]

43. Hum...maybe I should give this a KICK!

:kick:

[daleo]

35. Not sure what to make of it

A less tightly cropped version might be interesting, to see what other little hints might have been in it. I suppose that might show up eventually. Also, if someone took this one picture, that implies there are probably others kicking around.

[bif]

38. Looks like a Deadhead

to me.

[Junkdrawer]

39. Seems closer to the Kurd's "we drugged him and left him for you"...

story that the "I'm the President of Iraq and I want to negotiate" story.

[cmd]

42. It was just on MSNBC

comments were that it was probably made by a soldier's camera and mailed home

[bobbyboucher]

44. Is it nightime?

We got him at night? Just curious cause I don't know.

[BringEmOn]

45. Smackdown

[opihimoimoi]

46. Iz that Tommy Chong?? I thought he was in the slammer

[ElsewheresDaughter]

51. omg opi...that's the first thing i thought when i saw the pic....funny

[PsychoDad]

52. Bagged!

An Evil-Dewer bagged by the General :)

[BringEmOn]

54. Yep

The general takes down another war criminal.

[Zuni]

53. It looks like they flushed him out with tear gas or something

Something looks wrong with Saddam, perhaps he was drugged or popping pills himself?
