Looks like they caught him... However, I think the real question should be: Is this the real saddam, or is this a look-alike that the U.S. government has brought into justify their presence in Iraq?
That depends...this way, we can expect a trial for political purposes right before next year's $election.Originally posted by wasteofo2
It seems like a loooooooooong time to wait to bring up a fake saddam. If they really wanted to get a fake one to justify their existence in iraq they would have done it a long time ago, the war was officially decalared over in may afterall.

In your case they would've found him dead, not alive.Originally posted by Inquiring_Mike
Yes... DNA tests done by the US government...

After months of searching they finally found the guy who had nothing to do with September 11.
On another note, he looks more like Gandalf to me.

Yes, it has been confirmed by multiple sources, including the Iraqi government and the US military, that the man captured on December 13, 2003 was indeed Saddam Hussein.
The US military conducted DNA tests on the captured individual, comparing it to DNA samples from Saddam Hussein's family members, and the results showed a match with a high degree of certainty.
Saddam Hussein was a master of disguise and was known to frequently change his appearance. Additionally, he had a network of loyal supporters who helped him evade capture for many years.
Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator who committed numerous human rights violations and was responsible for the deaths of thousands of people. His capture was a major victory for the US and its allies in the Iraq War and was seen as a step towards stabilizing the region.
After his capture, Saddam Hussein was put on trial by the Iraqi government for crimes against humanity and was ultimately sentenced to death by hanging. He was executed on December 30, 2006.
