There's a way to confirm or deny whether Muqtada al-Sadr was at the Saddam execution:

[originalpckelly]

Sadr has a mole above his right upper lip. There a number of times in the "noose placement" video where the man who, whom puts the noose around Saddam's neck, is seen on that side. If found together with the general shape of the facial hair and his ring, it would be undeniable proof that Saddam had his noose placed by Muqtada al-Sadr, as a number of news stories (and blogs) from the Middle East are now claiming.

However, if there is no mole, it's not Muqtada.



Notice the small, but very dark mole?

1. The it must be.....

2. Oh stop it, this is actually quite serious...

how fucked up would the gov. in Iraq be if al-Sadr was actually there? It's bad enough those people shouted his name during the execution, let alone to have the big enchilada himself.

3. ....

Oh quite serious....

Sorry..It's actually this:

6. Oh, GD it!

laughing out loud here, on what should be a serious thread. Any cyber captures of that scene and said, potential Sadr presence?

8. Yes, but I can't really see any of that...

I need a higher resolution version of the video, because the highest I've found was on Google Video. It's not enough to tell one way or another whether there is a mole.

7. Hell, I'll make it easier.... just ask the Chimp if Sadr was there....

if Dumbya says NO... well, you can bet your ass it WAS Sadr.


PEACE!
