Is it the same guy? [New Iran Pres.] (New profile pic)

I found a pic of Ahmadinejad today that showed his profile HERE..

Then I took this pic.....

Cut him out and flipped him.

What do you think?

[Brilliant]

Nose looks different. Also, he doesn't look much older than he did in 1979.

I don't think it's him.

[rhombus]

nose looks a little different

Comments.........

[West Coast Conservative]

Their noses look different, IMO.

[My2Cents]

Either he's busted his nose a couple of times since 1979, or it's not the same guy.

[Ravi]

Unless he's had a dorsal hump implant in the ensuing 25 years, it's not the same guy. Let's keep looking.

[Zavien Doombringer]

No, the nose doesn't fit the profile, even if it did get broken later.

[Quilla]

Looks like his nose has taken on a hump as he aged.

[b4its2late]

Doesn't look like it. Nose is different and so is the ear. But I ain't no expert.

[the tongue]

I think they all look alike....

[CollegeRepublican]

The nose looks different and the shape of his ear is also different. But of course your ears could grow with age.

[areafiftyone]

The nose is different. But it could be the same person if he broke it.

[Brilliant]

Ear lobes are different.

[Greek]

No, look at the nose.....

[Argh]

Not unless he's had his earlobes surgically extended.

[gridlock]

Not the same guy. The nose is completely different. But a broken nose could account for that. More conclusive is the earlobe. They are completely different. Of course, in one picture we are looking at his right ear and in the other his left (flipped), so I guess that is not conclusive either.

[Albion Wilde]

Different nose, different ear lobe.

[rhombus]

The nose is different. But it could be the same person if he broke it.

Over there I expect noses get broken for you. ;-)

[RedRightReturn]

Ears are markedly different as well.

Ear lobe augmentation perhaps??

[chapin2500]

Not only the nose but look at the ear also.

[goldstategop]

You'd have to do some de-aging to get the profile right. Not what he looks like now at 49 but back in 1979 when he was 23.

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

[Plutarch]

Unless Iranians get nose jobs to make their noses bigger and uglier, that ain't him.

[Zavien Doombringer]

So, you don't want to play limbo, huh?

[gridlock]

Actually, he looks a heck of a lot more like the guy who is behind and to the right of the guy you cropped and flipped.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Anyway, I say both are guilty.

[AppyPappy]

He looks like the guy on the far right in the picture.

[Frank_Discussion]

Certainly looks like a different chap.

Should still whup the mullah's a$$es, though...

[stevio]

I agree. Not the same guy.

[OXENinFLA]

That's what caught my eye too.....

[Ros42]

Are those moles on the face of the guy on the right?

[ellery]

The nose, forehead and ear are totally different.

[hiredhand]

Compare his earlobes too. They're definitely different.

[nikos1121]

No the guy on the left is Ringo Starr of the Beatles.

[Brilliant]

Just paste his head onto one of those other guys in the photo using Photoshop....

[savedbygrace]

Nope, two different animals, for certain.

[nikos1121]

Yeah, that's definitely him. He had a reverse rhinoplasty.

[West Coast Conservative]

A bound and blindfolded American hostage is displayed to a crowd outside the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, Nov. 9, 1979. The terrorist at right has been identified as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the new President of Iran.

[AppyPappy]

Far right guy putting something in his mouth

[frogjerk]

I was going to say the same thing.

[henkster]

It's not the same guy. One guy is smiling, the other guy is not smiling.

OK; I make joke, funny ha ha.

Seriously, it is not the same guy, but just because this new president is not the terrorist in the picture, it does not mean he was not and/or is not a terrorist. The retired Army Col. on FoxNews this a.m. is absolutely certain he's a terrorist, and that's good enough for me.

[frogjerk]

How tall is this guy?

[admiralsn]

I'll try:

Nope. Nose hairs are longer now.

[Flightdeck]

ear/earlobes are different between pics.

[Ravi]

That similarity is eerie.

[OXENinFLA]

GATEWAY Pundit

Has a clearer pic.

[Ravi]

Even if you broken your nose, you won't develop a dorsal hump. It'll twist or be crooked but you won't develop that bump on the bridge of your nose.

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

Not the same - nose is different; ear is different (I realize that the pic of Ahmadinejad shows his right ear and your flipping the pic from the embassy deal shows a left ear); shape of head is different; eye area is different. Nose and ear differences are clinchers - not the same guy.

[jonsie]

I agree I think it is the guy on the far right.
