And now, the captions if the Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf had written them...

"Here we see several of the infidel invaders, overcome with grief for their crimes against the Iraqi people, paying homage to our great military leader, Saddam Hussein."

"Here are several American mercenaries running for their lives from our Republican Guard at the Saddam International Airport which they were nowhere near because those stories are a fiction from Donald Rumsfeld."

This is a British mercenary surrendering to several Iraqi farmers near Basra."

"This is an American mercenary surrendering to a farmer near Al Najaf."

"Here a British mercenary is shown stealing an Iraqi child. Later, his mother and several aunties staged a daring raid to rescue the child."

"This is a picture taken on an American soundstage in Hollywood. They are not near Baghdad!"

"Did General Franks say to take the first or second Baghdad exit?"

[Redcloak]

I'm starting to like "Baghdad Bob". He's really improving on that Jon Lovitz character; taking it to whole new levels!

[Walkin Man]

LOL! Very funny!

[Walkin Man]

Yeah, thats a good one. Because of the British and American military, that little one might just have a life worth living.

[Walkin Man]

LOL! Don't worry, we've got all the exits in Iraq covered!

I think it was very thoughtful and gracious of the Saddam regime to include English on their street and directional signs.

in southern Iraq, April 5, 2003.

I hope photos like this one (including that one of one of our soldier cradling an
Iraqi newborn the other day) get enough airplay in advance of the trial of that
Islamic puke who did the fragging in the 101st Airborne.

Yeah, we're coming into their country to take kill their women and children.
Heck, Saddam, Ouday, and Co. were doing a much better job of it than any Mongul horde!

[Walkin Man]

Saddam himself has killed many more muslims than we ever will! I believe the figure is a million and a half followers of the "peaceful religion of Islam" were sent to their doom by the hand of Saddam.

And EVERY moslem country views the west as their enemy! What can be said about a people with such massive stupidity?

[wimpycat]

ROFL!

[VOA]

And EVERY moslem country views the west as their enemy!
What can be said about a people with such massive stupidity?

Well, I know it's a bit of spin-doctoring...but I try to be charitable and say...
"It's time for them to go to school and learn some new lessons."

And keep my eyes open for the ones like the guy who risked himself and his family
to save PFC Jessica Lynch...
and maybe some of the Iraqis that are greating Coalition troops in at least
a friendly manner are ready to "get on the right side of history".

That's why I hope that all of the die-hard Saddam supporters will come forth
and "die gloriously in battle".
That will just make it easier for Iraq to eventually emerge as a reasonable modern
and civilized country...

OK, at least that's my prayer...

Hmmm? Yes they have, and I think the 200 boxes full of bags of body parts should go a long way to shut people up - and the idiots, just like the Nazi's, kept a log of who they killed and the method. Amazing!

[proud American in Canada]

LOL!

Deposit Iraqi prisoners at the rest stop, keep on going... :)
