How can anyone with glasses that thick be that dumb?

What is the point of his lies, I don't even understand it in terms of propaganda. He's just setting himself up to be the man behind the curtain.

I have been paying him to do this. My idea was to have an honest-to-goodness Enemy Propaganda Minister, complete with beret and uniform, get up there on TV every day to say things that are stolen from the New York Times.

I thought this would help expose the bias in the New York media, but I'm afraid it's backfiring. My spies tell me that ABC is unhappy with the ratings that George Clintonstooge is getting on Sundays, so now they are thinking about replacing him with Baghdad Bob.

I obviously cannot outbid ABC News. I could afford this when it was costing me two bucks a week to make Bob a millionaire in Iraqi dinars, but now Bob is finding out that I snookered him. That's why he's sounding less and less like the New York Times and more like Peter Jennings.

The Arab mindset. Speaking in extremely broad terms, lying is openly acceptable to them, particularly if it's for reasons Good For the Arabs. Of course, it helps a lot too to be working for a scumbag like Saddam Hussein, in a media environment so free that you will get shot for disagreeing with Baghdad Bob. Having no criticism of your oratory is a great way to develop a swelled head very quickly. And he's probably been doing this for years.
