Baghdad Bob is back!
The ex-Iraqi information minister, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf (whom I'm sure we all remember), has given an interview on Arab TV that will air tomorrow...

This is good news. He's not dead, as some people have said. And this gives him an opportunity to say more insane things.

He should milk it and get a job with CNN or something - reporting (or misreporting) it'd be hilarious!

Actually, I think he'd be prime for The Daily Show.

Darn you, Shik. I open the page in a tab and don't look at it for ten minutes, then you steal my line! *SMITE*

Oh, I'm unsmiteable, Bubba. Besides, it's unhealthy to smack around those that work for the larger things at hand.

"the Americans were refusing to arrest Mr Sahhaf because he did not appear on their "most wanted" list."

"Mr Sahhaf was staying at his aunt's house in Baghdad"

"And he said he was at work on a book"

LOL! Classic.

So those reports were true. He did dye in conflict.

I'm sorry. That was horrible

Ah, yes, his new bestseller:

The Rise and Fall of the American Empire

In the last chapter, "If The Shoe Fits, Throw It", al-Sahaf describes the historical events which led to the Iraqi conquest of America in early 2003, and how it is being covered up by the former leaders of the US, who all committed suicide and have been captured.

al-Sahaf has retired to his family estate, a victim of his own right-ness . . . everyone knows the information about America's conquest by the Iraqi army, navy, and air force, so there's nothing left for him to do now.
