Iraq's Former Information Minister Mohammad Said Al Sahhaf, who denied to the very end the presence of United States Forces in Baghdad, has been unsuccessfully trying to turn himself in.

A Kurdish official claims ex-Minister Sahhaf has been hiding at his aunt's house in Baghdad for the past four days, and has asked United States troops to arrest him so he can be 'protected.'

Adel Murad, of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, says United States troops have refused to arrest Sahhaf because he is not on their 'most wanted' deck of playing cards.

Ex Minister Saahaf daily breifings during the US lead war on Iraq made him a worldwide celebrity. He vanished when US forces entered central Baghdad.

Bagdad Bob is a free man??!!

"We can't arrest you, because we're really not here."

[ewing]

It's just a matter of time until Hollywood agents start jetting into Baghdad International Airport to find this guy and get him out of the country.

The world cannot afford to lose a mad genius of a comic like him!

[American Soldier]

I mean, what exactly do you arrest the guy for? Being a tool?

[Jeff Head]

LOL!

[ewing]

This is unbelieveable, the guys legend keeps growing by leaps and bounds every day.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

LOL! This is too funny!

[cynicom]

Maybe he could share evening news with Dan Blather.

[Constitution Day]

The world cannot afford to lose a mad genius of a comic like him!

I wonder if he is revered in France like this guy?

[ewing]

Hiding at his aunties house, obviously retooling his arsenal before the roasts the stomachs of the infidels..

[EggsAckley]

Last week we were told that he had hanged himself. Or did I dream that?
</;o)

[FreeTheHostages]

I LOVE THIS POST! There's no better way of being told, "Hey, buddy, you're irrelevant."

[ewing]

An Iranian paper said that he had hanged himself, but it sounds like he is very much alive and concerned about his own safety.. now he's asking the infidels for protection!

[Formermasslurker]

I am not trying to surrender. I am cleverly evaiding capture by those Yankee Imperial Zionist Infedel Dogs.

[ewing]

And he's doing a darn good job of it too!

[DannyTN]

"We can't arrest you, because we're really not here."

LOL, what perfect irony.

[Twinkie]

Have you ever seen his aunt? As a kid, he would have rather died than have visited Aunt Abdullah.

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

This was most likely a severe blow to this guy's ego when he didn't make the "most wanted list". He decided that it MUST be a mistake and attempts to negoiate his surrender, to discover that it wasn't a mistake.

Bagdad Bob: The only threat you pose are to the comics of the free world.

"We can't arrest you, because we're really not here."
