The Sydney Morning Herald compares Greenpeace to Baghdad Bob....and BB comes out on top! After relaying the lies and delusions of Baghdad Bob, they report this:

"In Australia, the rearguard action of behalf of Saddam's regime was fought by Greenpeace. Within 12 hours of al-Sahaf's last stand on the roof of the Palestine Hotel, Greenpeace executed an ambitious public relations guerilla raid on the Australian Navy. Last Tuesday, as HMAS Sydney was leaving Sydney Harbour en route for duty off Iraq, where it will protect the shipping that will bring most of the humanitarian aid to Iraq, a flotilla of 20 small craft and motorised rubber dinghies broke through a cordon of water police craft and sailed in front of the warship.

Two Greenpeace activists on high-speed dinghies hooked themselves onto the side of the ship and unfurled "No War" banners. More ominously, Greenpeace activists had dragged a heavy chain across the passage where HMAS Sydney was sailing, which would have caught and wrecked the propellers, immobilising the ship. The message was not subtle: stop the ship or we will.

One policeman was injured and 10 Greenpeace activists were arrested, including a Greens MP, Ian Cohen. What did Greenpeace want? Describing the war in Iraq as "illegal and immoral", Greenpeace issued this demand: "No more Australian troops should be sent to Iraq, and the ones that are there should be sent home immediately."

Al-Sahaf would have been proud."

They conclude with a message to potential Greenpeace contributors: Remember "its docility towards Saddam Hussein when he was in power, and its fury when he was deposed. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf wasn't the only illusionist exposed last week."
