The Best of Baghdad Bob........



April 16, 2003:One of the great tragedies of this war is the disappearance of Iraqi Information Minister Mohammad Said al-Sahhaf (aka 'Baghdad Bob'). So, like many others, I've compiled of a list of my favorite statements from the man who cannot tell a lie.

"The invasion is a lie."

"As our leader Saddam Hussein said, God is grilling their stomachs in hell. I think we will finish them soon."

"The infidels are committing suicide by the hundreds on the gates of Baghdad."

"It is difficult for the US forces that are surrounded in Saddam airport to come out alive. Now the entire direction is in our favor and we will annihilate what is left of the forces that attacked the airport."

"We are going to tackle them and going to destroy them. We will not surrender. The US will surrender or we will burn their tanks."

"Baghdad is bracing to pummel the invaders."

"The military top brass of the United States and its allies have to resort to brazen lies to conceal the failure."

On April 5, CNN and Al Jazeera aired footage shot by an Associated Press cameraman that showed U.S. troops defeating a Republican Guard unit just outside Baghdad. Asked about it, al-Sahhaf said, "These images are not the suburbs of Baghdad.? From what I glimpsed, these gardens with rows of palm trees on the side, which you saw in the images, are located in the south of Abu Ghreib, where we have surrounded the Americans and British"......

Almost as outrageous and funny as Nancy Pelosi's remarks about the war.

"We are going to tackle them and going to destroy them. We will not surrender.

He stole that from Knute Rockne.

No way Baghdad Bob is a swinger.

"I've compiled of a list of my favorite statements from the man who cannot tell a lie."

Unfortunately, Baghdad Bob was a credible source for the 'journalists' in our national media. You are doing a good service by highlighting what dolts he and they (the media) truly are.

IMHO here's the epitomy of this dillusional popogandist's rantings:

Winning Iraqi Freedom

[barbarianbabs]

John and Ken (kfi radio LA) just laugh and laugh at him.

ping!

[Grampa Dave]

The Peloshi and Baghdad Bob are now a team for the American Baathist Party!

"...God is grilling their stomachs in hell..."

This says a lot about the "god" that Iraqis believe in - apparently he operates out of Hell, not Heaven, making him - the devil.

These images are not the suburbs of Baghdad.?

The images actually look like Bakersfield.
