A high ranking Patriotic Union of Kurdistan official has announced that the former Iraqi Information Minister, Mohamed Saeed Al-Sahaf, nicknamed, 'Hama Saee' and 'Uluj' in Kurdistan, is ready to surrender to American forces, the Iranian newspaper Yasenu reported.

The paper said that Al-Sahaf's surrender is conditional, quoting from an unnamed high ranking official of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, without referring to Al-Sahaf's hideout.

Al-Sahaf was the Information Minister during the war in Iraq.

He became the face of the Iraqi regieme during the war and gained fame for his misleading infomation as well as denial of the presence of American forces in Baghdad, while Amercian Abraham tanks were opposite his office.

Is he going to roast the stomachs of the infidels while he is surrendering?

[republicanwizard]

THE GREAT ONE?

[epluribus_2]

Yes, by God, I am ready to surrender, I tell you.

[ewing]

God willing...

[El Conservador]

I demand that Baghdad Bob be transfered to the U.S. and forced to work in Hollywood and live a rich-and-famous lifestyle.

REALITY SHOW FOR BOB NOW!!!

[anniegetyourgun]

I still want him to have to go on Al-Jazeera explaining how he duped all his Arab brothers! Then I want him to explain that Abu Dhabi and Al-Jazeera bought it all - hook, line, and stinker!

[ewing]

I nominate him to immediatley take over ABC late night, after Ted Koppel. (or before him)

[ewing]

The terms of this 'surrender' should be quite a tale..

[Question_Assumptions]

Is this sourced from one of the same Iranian papers that said he hung himself? I hope he is alive. If this guy is smart, he'll turn himself in. There is no way that they'll execute him because the public thinks he is just too goofy to hate.

[areafiftyone]

Sorry Canada has already hired him!

[aristeides]

Is the P.U.K. mediating the deal?

The hero of Baghdad (profile of Baghdad Bob).

[Desecrated]

Yeah, guess he didn't hang himself!

[3AngelaD]

Why, why, why was there no BAGHDAD BOB ALERT on this article? I might have wasted precious seconds getting to see it. Praise Bush.

[ewing]

My feelings (as usual)- we will slaughter/surrender to death all of them.

The Americans were forced to meet my conditions. They knew, of course, they would all die if they did not.... or most of them would.

We all knew somehow that B-dad Bob would never hang himself.

Someone living that far in fanatsy land and out of touch with reality could never do himself in like that.

Said Al-Sahaf, "It is with great pleasure that I announce the capture of the whole of the coalition forces, who have surrendered to me today. It is a new day in Iraq, where the truth will be the centerpiece of my new government."

What US forces?
