Iraq: Tarek Aziz denies rumors of his defection

In a few more hours he won't be able to deny "defecation" in his pants.

[anymouse]

PsyOps is a beautiful thing. :) You can bet Aziz will have permanent insomnia for the rest of his life - as short as that may be.

This is really babble. Who translated this?

[Chancellor Palpatine]

"Speaking from the Principality of Monaco, in between slurping a drink on a rooftop casino while having his hair tousled by a stunningly attractive young woman, Aziz repeated that 'Iraqi soldiers will defend our regime with their blood and their very souls.' When further information was sought, Aziz deferred, complaining he was late for his massage before his Baccarat session".

Babelfish, an automated free translation website.

So, Aziz is lying about the fact that he's dead.
Why am I not surprised :-)

[Wild Irish Rogue]

How many body doubles does Aziz have?

[RightWhale]

He says he did not defect. Who you gonna believe when military psychowarriors are on the march? That was not Tarek Aziz any more than that was Saddam that Rather interviewed. They all have doubles. Saddam has several doubles, multiples you could say.
