Baghdad Bob the Video Game

[Arkinsaw]

The Iraqi General described this tatical decision as 'stupid.'

He doesn't seem to be too worried about Saddam, Uday, or Qusay now does he?

[HamiltonJay]

Saddam is a military idiot, its part of the reason Iraq did so poorly 12 years ago, and certainly part of this victory. He refuses to listen to his generals, has no military training or talent himself and all major decisions he requires be made by himself.... The Iraqi's never stood a chance.

[ewing]

I know nothing about this quarter million dollars missing from the infidel journalists!

All lies and Al Jazeera propoganda...

[ewing]

Unless Saddam planted some Dirty Bomb Nuclear waste in those tunnels.

"Love That Bob!"

[headsonpikes]

Baghdad Bob will end up in a penny-stock boiler-room in Boca Raton.

He's a natural 'loader'.

[dogbyte12]

$200,000? I will show you pigs in one hour where the money is. May your loins rot in hell's fire, when pressed with hot iron. I am taking a lunch break. I am having croissants. No I am not going to exaggerate. Wait here 1 hour, you infidel jackal satan worshippers.

Seriously, I wonder where Baghdad Bob is going to end up. Btw... did he make the deck of cards, or not?

[ewing]

Even on longtime 'adminstrative leave' he still make headlines..

[Howlin]

FYI.

[ewing]

Next press conference -5:00!! (on the beach in Syria)

[JennysCool]

The Legend Grows.

[Grampa Dave]

The more that we read about Baghdad Bob, the more qualified he is to be the next DNC head rat/liar/thief.

[ewing]

How about Vice President of DNC Fundraising under Terry Mac?

[aristotleman]

Saddam is a military idiot, its part of the reason Iraq did so poorly 12 years ago, and certainly part of this victory. He refuses to listen to his generals, has no military training or talent himself and all major decisions he requires be made by himself.... The Iraqi's never stood a chance.

Just like Hitler in WWII. Arrogant, untalented, and doomed from the start. All it takes to bring down people like that is determination and cohones.

Bush got both.

[Grampa Dave]

Associate President of Vice for the DNC!

[dogbyte12]

I could picture a surrealistic movie version of Baghdad Bob... sort of like Raizing Arizona and This is Spinal Tap kinda ethic.

Baghdad Bob seriously is a major a-hole. He gave up his brother in law to Saddam earlier, was involved in violence, and knew damn well what was going on.

I find it reassuring that we can laugh at him though for the pathetic piece of dung that he is.

[ewing]

B-Dads Bob's fan site was getting something like 4,000 hits per second before it shut down

[ewing]

He has a career in investment banking or used car sales in his future..that is for sure

[F-117A]

Seriously, I wonder where Baghdad Bob is going to end up. Btw... did he make the deck of cards, or not?

According to Vince at the CentCom briefing Baghdad Bob did NOT make the deck.

[F16Fighter]

Ya can't make this stuff up.

[Migraine]

""Love That Bob!""

"Hold it -- I think you're gonna like this picture". Wow. YOu really dated yourself with that one. So did I.

I've seen that show on reruns a couple of times and was amazed that casting thought Bob could be made into a believable playboy! He was OLD! And he had this big wide butt, middle-aged skin and girlish mannerisms. I guess back then, they figured if you give a guy a flattop, everyone will just know that he's young. Hilarious! Looking at him now, I think the only girl on the show he really could have made it with was Schultzie. :)

[San Jacinto]

did he make the deck of cards, or not?

Not only did he not make the deck, it has been determined that he is not playing with a full deck either.

[ewing]

If B-Dad didn't make the deck of playing cards, does that mean we think he didn't make it through the convoy to Syria?

Or perhaps he is still in Tikrit..

[bra]

This is one stupid tactical decision that the US military welcomes.

DE OPPRESSO LIBER

[ewing]

Baghdad Bob is too much of a right honorable man to be associated with the vices of the infidels!

[byrdy]

He fled to join Dr. Evil at his secret lair.

Baghdad Bob strikes again.....

[F16Fighter]

"If B-Dad didn't make the deck of playing cards, does that mean we think he didn't make it through the convoy to Syria?"

B-Dad is the joker...And he probably dressed himself up like an old Iraqi hag to smuggle himself out.

[ewing]

Great idea, classic!!

[byrdy]

Yet another comparison to Saddam's idol, Stalin.

Stalin-egomaniac depleted his military experts through purges. Relying on his "supreme expertise" and a kick ass Russian winter.

[byrdy]

Reminds me of Clinton.......They are beginning to look very, very similar. Colossal Liars Supreme....

[fella]

Which media groups paid this war criminal? CNN?

[Grampa Dave]

I can just see Baghdad Bob saying that he is for abortions and for the chilrun. The rats know that he hates President Bush, our leaders and the Israeli Government.

All he needs, are some interns wearing blue dresses to give him comfort.

[OperationFreedom]

THAT is an interesting comment he made huh? What does he know?

[ewing]

I think most of the news orginaztions had to pay B-dad Bob a 'travel fee' each month.

[Happy2BMe]

I'm Such A Good Liar . . I'm Getting Calls From Tom and Hillary!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

$200,000? I will show you pigs in one hour where the money is. May your loins rot in hell's fire, when pressed with hot iron. I am taking a lunch break. I am having croissants. No I am not going to exaggerate. Wait here 1 hour, you infidel jackal satan worshippers.

[Applause.] Nicely done!

[Grampa Dave]

I fully expect him to be a regular on the CNN screaming head shows. He hates President Bush, Jews, Americans and Israel. That qualifies him to be a screaming head on CNN.

[Husker8877]

This is funny!

[ewing]

I wish the website was back up so I could see the rest of the pics.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Syria newspaper told their people Iraq is just catching its breath and will cream the U.S. soon. (Fox News) B. Bob must have told them this when he fled there with the money.

[Minty]

!Seriously, I wonder where Baghdad Bob is going to end up. Btw... did he make the deck of cards, or not?!

Incredible as it seems they left him out. But I took meassures to remedy that.

[ewing]

[ewing]

That is too much to hope for that B-dad will become Syria's new spokesman..
