Al Jazeera reports on its Web site that Abu Dhabi television has interviewed the infamous Mohammed Saeed Al Sahhaf, the former Iraqi information minister known to Americans as "Baghdad Bob."
Al Jazeera wrote that Al Sahhaf will "reveal part of the war secrets and how ousted president Saddam Hussein felt he would lose the war."
"He was more frank and direct than previous interviews after the war ... he revealed many secrets before and during the war ... it was an exciting interview," his interviewer, Jaber Obaid, told Gulf News.
"You will notice that he has changed since the end of the war, both in style and appearance ... he speaks freely, looks lively and is well dressed. ... "
Baghdad Bob reportedly admitted, during the five-hour interview, that "Saddam believed that he will lose the war if it erupts," that Iraq did indeed seek nuclear weapons, and that King Hussein of Jordan sponsored secret talks between Iraq and the U.S. in a European capital long before the war.
Regarding Saddam himself, the Al Ittihad newspaper wrote, "Sahhaf apologized for being unable to answer some questions directly related to Saddam ... he also refused to blame him for what happened."

Right, credible source from a credible news outlet. (HA)
To: Semper Paratus
Before Baghdad Bob became Baghdad Bob, he held a high office in Saddams regime.

To make this even more credible, the interviewer should have been Jason Blair.

Before Baghdad Bob became Baghdad Bob, he held a high office in Saddams regime.He was the power behind the scenes. All others were mere puppets who served at his pleasure. Not suprisingly, Saddam Hussein was actually the lowly errand boy of Bahgdad Bob. All of Iraq shivered with fear from his almighty wrath. He was the smartest man in all the land.
In other words, Bahgdad Bob was the hillary clinton of the Hussein Administration.

How do we know it really wasn't? They all lie all the time anyway, including the NY Slimes ex-fibber.

...Iraq did indeed seek nuclear weapons...Does this guy have instant credibility now that he is saying what we want to believe?

I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot of things from this guy in the days to come:
"Former Iraqi Information Minister, and current Democratic campaign strategist Mohammed Saeed Al Sahhaf said today........"
To: TankerKC
Does this guy have instant credibility now that he is saying what we want to believe? If you read the thread, you'll see that he does not.

I have yet another theory... has anyone ever actually seen Saddam and Baghdad Bob in the same room at the same time? Eh? Eh? Clark Kent, anyone? Eh?
