I've just recieved an email from a friend of mine with the below pictures..
He said that he's got them from an Arabic news website reporting the arrest of Saddam Hussien.

the pictures seemed ordinary for me at the beginning, then suddenly I realized something very important that makes me start beleiving in Conspiracies..

check these pictures & I'll tell you what's strange about them, as soon as I get positive about my thought..

Second Picture:

I only see one pic and it is to small to analyze. BTW what is your theory?


//**EDIT**//
Nevermind you are posting them now.

Last One

come on guys, can't you see anything strange?!

no gimme a hint or something.

likuidkewl:

I have no theory, I'm just wondering
HOW THE HELL IS THERE DATES ON THE PALM TREES?!!!

we are in Winter here in the Middle East, and Dates are not supposed to grow in Winter, just in Summertime..

Never would have thought about that one. But I know we knew where he was for bit.

Because this has been one of the hottest years on record.. world wide?

they look gone to seed anyway...

But how did "Fat Boy" get in and out of that little hole? I do not see hair around it

I don't think so

I've just checked Baghdad's weather forecast HERE, and it was 19-8 (67-47 F).. On such weather, palm trees should never haveany kind of dates. (you can check any encyclopaedia about that, as I did).

Does it really matter? Saddam was caught.

Ok fine, let the conspiracy theorists unite!

BTW--What a crappy post for 100.

Let me rephrase your sentence: Does it really matter THAT Saddam was caught?

And is he really caught?

anyway, I don't know what that means. all that I know is that I have to think about everything, and never take any government's words for granted..

I'm saying again: I don't have a clue about what that means, that's why I'm posting this topic for discussion.

All of those people do have jackets on. One person has a long sleeve sweater on from the looks of it. Must be cool or cold. Look around at some other photos in the same region and see if there are dates on the trees maybe.

No dates in Winter, Autumn or Spring.. Only the middle 3 months of Summer

heh, Iraq isnt TOO far away from you. why not go to that tree and see?

only kiddin

very keen eye you have ahmed

hmmm very interesting

Small, Cluttered Refuge Was a Far Cry From Luxury

paragraph 8:
The doors opened to a courtyard where towels, clothing, dates and salami hung on wires. Thatched straw sheets lined the inner walls. Plastic lawn chairs and a bed frame served as tables. To the left was the living quarters; above the bedroom door was an inscription in gray Arabic script: "God the merciful, God the compassionate."

last paragraph:
In the back, the hut opened up to a garden with oranges, dates and pomegranates. The path leading to the river approached a point very close to the one where Hussein had begun a swim 44 years ago as he was fleeing the country after an attempt on his life. Three canoes were strewn haphazardly along the path; military officials suspect they may have been used to ferry in supplies -- or to aid in a plan for a quick escape.

The article includes an Interactive Guide where there is a clear image of the tree with the dates. I did a quick screen capture of the image similar to the ones previously posted. Click Here

Yet another image Click Here

Now, I do not know a healthy date from an unhealthy date, but these look pretty much dead to me. Also, if you look close at the interactive guide in the main article and zoom in on the arial view of the area it appears as if there are other trees with what might be dates on them?
