BAGHDAD, Iraq, April 4 — Iraq’s state-run television on Friday provided the strongest evidence yet that Saddam Hussein survived a U.S. missile attack at the outset of the war, broadcasting a speech in which a man who appeared to be the Iraqi president referred to a downed U.S. helicopter and airing footage showing him touring what was described as a neighborhood in Baghdad to cheers from frenzied residents.

It could be him, It looked like he was in pain and limping- I think it is a double though if it is a current video, but who knows. We will know soon I bet.

It is not very likely you will ever know anything about the whereabouts of "The Green guy".

He will likely vanish into dust.

It will either be part of his performance or..he does have somewhere to hide..and he may already there.

having an invisible bullseye on your person no matter where you go....If he wasn't killed, the next best thing would be chasing him around with a lazer light....just when he is catching his breath..we focus a red dot on his chest, face or scrotum....ha ha...

They obviously set you on repeat when it comes to France.

Saudi Arabia is a dictatorship......closely allied to you.

Nothing else.

Home to the Bin Laden family..is not that closely allied as you might think, even Bahrain and Kuwait refer to the Coalition forces as infidels, Their government supports us when it is necessary however we are barely tolerated, and obey many of the tenants of their muslim laws while we are there or face deportaiton or imprisonment, Ironically, americans are safer in Syria or Jordan from a terrorist attack than Saudi Arabia, that is based on information from alerts recieved from the Central Intelligence Agency and Interpol.
