Does he think that anyone but the media will believe that? If so, that right there should be sufficient proof that he needs to resign or be relieved of office.
Baghdad Bob (Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf) has taken up residence in the Oval Office. Back in 2003, acting as spokesman for the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party and Saddam’s government, he expressed some opinions and “facts” that were demonstrably not true. Some of his assertions included claims that American soldiers were committing suicide “by the hundreds” outside the city, and denial that there were any American tanks in Baghdad, when in fact they were only several hundred meters away from the press conference where he was speaking and the combat sounds of nearing American troops could already be heard in the background of the broadcast. When asked where he had gotten his information, he replied, “authentic sources—many authentic sources”. He pointed out that he “was a professional, doing his job”.
So who you gonna believe, creepy sleep Joe, or your lying eyes?
