Two things wrong with that assumption Souljah.
1. I do believe, there was a warrant out for his wife's arrest as well as his daughters. So it is highly doubtful the Russian story is accurate simply because if she had gone to see him she would have been arrested.
2. His wife hired 20 lawyers to defend him, something one would hardly do if it were his double as is alleged.
Mrs Saddam says Saddam is not Saddam
After the Russians applied enormous diplomatic pressure, America was finally obliged to allow Sajida Heiralla Tuffah access to her husband in Qatar, where he had been flown in some luxury aboard a United States Air Force VIP jet.
Well, you could have heard a pin drop all the way across Qatar. Sajida arrived from Syria with her official escort Sheikh Hamad Al-Tani, and then entered the prison, emerging only moments later pink with rage and shouting, "This is not my husband but his double. Where is my husband? Take me to my husband".
American officials rushed forward to shield Mrs Saddam from perplexed Russian observers, trying to insist that Saddam had changed a lot while in custody and she probably didn't recognise him. This was certainly not the best way to handle the Iraqi President's wife. "You think I do not know my husband?" Sajida shouted furiously, "I was married to the man for more than twenty-five years!" Then she stormed off, never to return.
Saddam capture staged, McDermott charges
Rep. Jim McDermott of Washington, the Democratic congressman who went to Baghdad last year to say that President Bush would lie to the American people in order to justify war, has now accused the president of timing Saddam Hussein's capture for political ends.
Pressed by Mr. Ross about whether he meant that the timing of the capture was driven by politics, Mr. McDermott said: "I don't know that it was definitely planned on this weekend, but I know they've been in contact with people all along who knew basically where he was. It was just a matter of time till they'd find him.
Former Marine Says Saddam Capture Staged
A former U.S. Marine who participated in capturing ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein said the public version of his capture was fabricated. Ex-Sgt. Nadim Abou Rabeh, of Lebanese descent, was quoted in the Saudi daily al-Medina Wednesday as saying Saddam was actually captured Friday, Dec. 12, 2003, and not the day after, as announced by the U.S. Army.
“I was among the 20-man unit, including eight of Arab descent, who searched for Saddam for three days in the area of Dour near Tikrit, and we found him in a modest home in a small village and not in a hole as announced,” Abou Rabeh said. “We captured him after fierce resistance during which a Marine of Sudanese origin was killed,” he said. He said Saddam himself fired at them with a gun from the window of a room on the second floor. Then they shouted at him in Arabic: “You have to surrender. … There is no point in resisting.”
“Later on, a military production team fabricated the film of Saddam’s capture in a hole, which was in fact a deserted well,” Abou Rabeh said.
We got him: Kurds say they caught Saddam
Washington's claims that brilliant US intelligence work led to the capture of Saddam Hussein are being challenged by reports sourced in Iraq's Kurdish media claiming that its militia set the circumstances in which the US merely had to go to a farm identified by the Kurds to bag the fugitive former president.
Col. Hickey tells his troops to keep quiet about Saddam capture
It sounds to me that Hickey is giving them what turned out to be the official story before warning them to shut up about what really happened. Why would Hickey need to tell them that he was found 'literally hiding in a hole' if they had found him? They would already know this. This is consistent with reports claiming Saddam was handed over to the US by Kurdish militia on November 20-23.

Your Logic has several flaws in it Souljah, the main one being he has very high paid lawyers and they are not fools. If they thought for one minute that it was not him they would (I know I would) demand new DNA tests by an independent source.

Well it's not about me liking it or not - it's about who the Man looking like Saddam is?
Care to Elaborate on my previous post about the STAGED Saddam's Capture, and how US Forces had him in custody for a time, before they Staged how Marines stormed the village and found him in a Hole?
Originally posted by shots
Well then since you are so sure it is not him, why not put your money where your mouth is and offer to pay a a new DNA test? That would solve this in a minute. As for answering your other remarks they are not relevant the only thing that counts here is the client/saddam and no one else or what they claimed those can just be seen as allegations and or perhaps some MSM spin if you will.

Still you haven't answered me, where does the US get the DNA samples, to confirm, that the man sentanced to death is the REAL Saddam?

Jsobecky,
Do you have a source for how the US got the real Saddams' DNA?
"Most likely " doesnt cut it.

i'm not taking sides but:
why can't these lawyers be paid off by the US???
why can't the whole trial be staged by the US??
