Failure to Find Saddam Proves He Never Existed
(2003-05-03) -- Six weeks after the invasion of Iraq, Pentagon officials are quietly beginning to acknowledge that their failure to find Saddam Hussein may be proof that the Iraqi leader never existed. Buy "Axis of Weasels," the first book by Scott Ott. $12.95 + S&H; Comments

They Haven't even found any of his doubles. I think we've been hoodwinked! Bamboozled! I'm coming to my senses right now, and I'm going to put a stop to this nonesense... Posted by: Greyhawk at May 3, 2003 11:32 PMHeh. I was gonna say... They were all body doubles! Every one! It was all a vast charade, a conspiracy. But Greyhawk makes a good point. Then again, there's makeup, hair dye. Heck, emergency plastic surgery worked for Jack Napier. Changed his appearance completely, no joke. So they were all doubles, and by removing or changing their makeup, shaving moustaches, cutting or coloring their hair, dressing differently, the doubles all faded into the proverbial woodwork. Now we can't even prove there was a conspiracy of rule by body double. Posted by: Jay Solo at May 4, 2003 12:19 AMSince there was never a Saddam Hussein then there was never a Ooglay either, eeh? Posted by: Jericho at May 4, 2003 05:03 AMSo since we have never found the real killer of OJ's wife and Ron Goldman then we can assume he never existed and that proves that OJ is the real killer. Works for me!!! Posted by: Robert at May 4, 2003 09:47 AMI think that I saw him in San Diego on TV. Nope that was Scott Peterson with his hair dyed a growing a goatee so he would blend in better with the Mexican population I guess. Saddam should try that. Posted by: Mikey at May 4, 2003 10:13 AMHave Saddam and Scott Peterson ever been seen together? Think about it. Posted by: giad at May 4, 2003 01:22 PMAnd what about Osama? Maybe they're all the same person. In fact, I've never seen Bush in person, either! Maybe it's a vast conspiracy by Hollywood! I've never seen Susan Sarandon with any of them! Maybe... Posted by: DoktorI at May 4, 2003 01:46 PMActually, I haven't seen Elvis and Saddam at the same time. Elvis "died" about the time Saddam took over.. Not to impune Elvis. Posted by: Mikey at May 4, 2003 03:37 PMThis has been around a while so everyone may already have seen it, but it's so perfect for this story: Posted by: Cassandra at May 4, 2003 03:40 PMI think Saddam evolved from Max Headroom! Posted by: Susan Serin-Done at May 4, 2003 03:51 PMOf course Saddam was never real. If you look closely at the video footage you can see that he was no more than an animatronics tailors dummy. He is probably back in the downtown Baghdad Department store where they got him from in the first place. We should be looking more closely at Hollywood, I suspect they were behind pulling Saddams strings. Posted by: Jonah8208 at May 4, 2003 05:20 PMAfter really thinking about this, maybe Saddam was the evil version of Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life", and the Angel didn't give him a chance to regain his life! THE HAPPY END!!! Posted by: Susan Serin-Done at May 4, 2003 05:22 PMArrrrgh! Now once again I must submit myself to an orgy of self flagelation. It is Ooglay who has been trying to tell you infidel georgeboosh worshippers that my Glorious Father, for whom you will rebuild Iraq, is in ... Ooglay -- Dad wants you to call him. Qusay Posted by: Qusay at May 4, 2003 07:41 PMMonths ago, though it seems like only yesterday, I wrote on this forum that I refused to give any legitimacy to any "peace activist", hollywood star or not, unless that individual could furnish evidence of his/her vocal opposition to the Clinton excursions in Bosnia, Haiti, Somalia, and Iraq (only bombings of aspirin factories, but warlike nonetheless). I'm still waiting! Where is that Democratic Liberal compassion that we have heard so much about? It seems that the only people who care at all about the Iraqi people and the corpses they are digging up are those school children starving, senior citizen abusing Conservative Republicans. Go figure! Posted by: Joseph at May 4, 2003 07:54 PMJoseph-- Exactly! I've been patiently waiting for a coherent answer or explanation for the anti-war lack of concern over clinton's military excurions---have yet to hear one. Not a single one. Completely amazing that they are so blind to such blatant, glaring hypocrisy! Posted by: Tango at May 5, 2003 11:29 AMThis Saddam story sounds perfect for a Twilight Zone episode! Posted by: Susan Serin-Done at May 5, 2003 01:19 PMI believe Saddam had plastic surgery and is now....Greta Van Susteren. He figures noone would ever look for him at Fox News. I believe this is why he/she now talks exclusively about the Laci Peterson case and never mentions Iraq. Posted by: twalsh at May 5, 2003 04:43 PMIt wasn't hip to protest Clinton's wars twalsh: Does this mean we now have to refer to him/her as "Saddam (who was a man)"? Posted by: Cassandra at May 5, 2003 04:59 PMA truly brilliant, penetratingly perceptive article. It's about time the truth be told! While we are at it, there is conclusive evidence that Osama Bin Laden never existed either. It's all just a conspiracy of the right-wing Jewish Anglo-American, capitalist, imperialist,pro-Bush Illuminatti, homophobic, speciests, who control the minds of people everywhere,and were the real purpetrators behind the 9/11 incident. It is certainly gratifying to know that there are a few of us out here that really know the truth. Posted by: lafforcry at May 5, 2003 07:52 PMHeh. I love it. (First out of the room in "Rat Race" too, I suppose) Posted by: Stephen at May 5, 2003 07:52 PMMy ex-wife hasn't found me yet. Maybe I don't exist. Remember this one from Queen? Or how about this oldie from the Buggles? Or this favorite from days Three Dog Night?
No Saddam means no government which means anarchy. So the US simply went in to restore order and distribute food and other humanitarian functions. Just like when the US first went into Somalia. Posted by: ruprecht at May 6, 2003 11:05 AMIt doesn't make any sense in Latin, but I think it would be Non cogito, ergo non sum. Posted by: mark at May 6, 2003 11:14 AMSome random guy: non cognito, ergo non sum? That may be too easy. I know the non sum part is OK, not sure about the non cognito... Posted by: Cassandra at May 6, 2003 11:19 AMruprecht, I'm not sure that the Baathist government was that far away from anarchy, myself. Posted by: Jon at May 6, 2003 01:17 PMJon, Apparently, Daschle is backpedaling now... expect all the other Dumb-o-crats to start falling into line. I guess they figured out that there was NO way to continue pushing their "hate-Bush" agenda in the faces of the US citizenry. Of course, THEY'RE still too stupid to know that WE'RE not so stupid that we'd actually believe the timing of their sudden support is just a silly coincidence and has nothing to do with them jumping out of the 2004 race's starting gates. They ALL look more and more like Slick - that nasty, amoral, excuse for a human being. What a waste of skin he was. In the words if that eminent philospher, Renee Descartes (who by the way is the last frenchman worth a damn) "I dictate...therefore I am!" Posted by: King Juan Carlos at May 6, 2003 02:52 PMSaddam who? Shave off the 'stash, loose some weight, and voila! Jimmy Carter's evil twin (fraternal, of course)! Posted by: aprime at May 6, 2003 07:45 PMThis causes problems ... big problems. If Saddam Hussein never existed, who do we give Iraq back to, if we don't find any WMDs? Posted by: Thane of Glamis at May 6, 2003 08:33 PMAny X-Files fan already knew that Saddam Hussein never existed. The Men In Black, based at Area 51, created him. He was played by an actor who was discovered doing dinner theater in Omaha ("does good ethnics"). C'mon, guys, check the literature. I'm a Latin teacher, and Mark is right: 'non cogito, ergo non sum'. Cassandra's version has an extra N in the second word: it sounds more like English 'cognitive' but is not good Latin. Posted by: Dr. Weevil at May 6, 2003 09:40 PMKyrie Elieson on E pluribus Unum!!! ( Lord have mercy on one out of many!) ( Mister Mister meets the mint (:~}) my humble contribution to our Latin Class. Posted by: Lynch Family Cat(titude) at May 7, 2003 09:55 PMStraight from the Persian Gulf, as MajGen Mattis gave a pep talk to departing Marines: "When you guys get home and face an anti-war protester, look him in the eyes and shake his hand. Then, wink at his girlfriend, because she knows she's dating a [wussy.]" -Commanding General, 1st Marine Division Posted by: Hook 1- Slice 1 at May 8, 2003 02:22 AMI thought "Kyrie Elieson" was Greek. or an Australian pop-star. I keep getting them confused.
Dr. Weevil - thanks for the correction. I wondered about the "n". I know next to nothing about Latin, so that was a SWAG on my part. Do you know of a good site/book to look up Latin tags? I run into them in reading, but they are almost never explained, which is incredibly annoying. Posted by: Cassandra at May 8, 2003 11:28 AMDr. Hook: Glad to see he hasn't succumbed to the multi-star disease yet. I don't think I've seen a General who minces words less than Gen. Mattis - maybe Al Gray... What a guy! Posted by: Cassandra at May 8, 2003 11:33 AMDr. Hook, I'm slice-1, slice-1 even further, myself. If every hole was a radical dog-leg to the right, I'd kick Tiger's butt. ;-) We got him. Who's crying now? Bush-haters, jew-haters, Baathists, Islamic extremists, Jeaneane Garofalo,and possibly David Blaine (who now realizes he may not hold the record for consecutive days in an isolation chamber).
