Iraq's Comical Ali

YouTube - Mohammed Saïd al-Sahaf.mp4

"They're not even within 100 miles of Baghdad. They are not in any place. They hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion... they are trying to sell to the others an illusion."

known for his daily press briefings in Baghdad during the 2003 Iraq War. His colorful appearances caused him to be nicknamed Baghdad Bob

On April 7, 2003, al-Sahhaf claimed that there were no American troops in Baghdad, and that the Americans were committing suicide by the hundreds at the city's gates. At that time, American tanks were patrolling the streets only a few hundred meters from the location where the press conference was held, and were clearly visible behind him.[6] His last public appearance as Information Minister was on April 8, 2003, when he said that the Americans "are going to surrender or be burned in their tanks. They will surrender, it is they who will surrender".

What is funny about him (apart from his communiques) is that he went to the Americans to give himself up, but they weren't actually interested in him.

@weeleon81 Gassing Kurds and invading Kuwait was also "illegal", but I don't remember people like you complaining.

[weeleon81]

funnty as he was the fact remains.. is was an illegal war, no matter how you look at it! International law was just brushed under the carpet, like "fuck it.. wer just gonna go and invade anyway".. Bush wanted to be a wartime president, i aint no 9/11 theory nut, but i do believe that Bush manilputaled the situation to get into iraq.. for oil? glory? dont know, but its a fact it was 100% illegal im not saying, not that i agreed with Saddam, far from it, countries need to trust each other
