Iraqi Information Minister seeks surrender, US doesn't want him.

[Martin]

Former Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf is attempting to surrender to US forces, according to a London-based Arabic newspaper. But Al-Sharq al-Awsat says the Americans have refused to arrest Mr Sahhaf - who became a familiar face during the war with his upbeat assessments of Iraqi military "successes" - because he does not appear on their "most wanted" list of 55 former regime officials.
An Iraqi Kurdish official told the newspaper that Mr Sahhaf was staying at his aunt's house in Baghdad, and was under surveillance by US forces.
He said the former minister was still trying to negotiate his arrest, fearing for his safety in the Iraqi capital.

I hope nothing happens to this guy so that he can safely make his way to hollywood.

Leno or Letterman should sponsor him to come to the U.S. A couple of late night shows and he would be on his way to "more" fame and fortune.

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf should be on the next Survivor.

Tell me this guy wouldn't be hilarious at tribal council.

He started that one too, he's good. He knew he needed to stay in the spotlight. A true master who should be free to work his craft.

This guy is a genius, I have never heard anyone spew so much crap on cue. A true master, I am happy he's alive.

He should be the Bush spokesman on the economy.
I can just imagine.
"The economy is not in a bad shape, like those infidel Democrats will have you believe. The unemployed did not lose their jobs, they are just on a well deserved vacation. The taxcuts will simulate the economy any time now. The deficits are too small. "

This guy is the next big thing from the middle east after that Turkish "I kiss you" guy.

OMG you scored big with that idea! Great post! Bush did say, and I quote from the NBC interview last Friday, "He's (the Iraqi Information Minister) my man!!!"

You could be more on target than you jest, SuperTool!

He'd serve the Bush howdy-doody show well.

WTF would we want him? He's the (dis)information minister, 'nuff said.

He should be handed over to the citizens of Iraq. I'm sure they'll have their way of dealing with him.

And if anyone here thinks this idiot is some kind of cute teddybear who should be spared the death sentence don't know his history.

Can you blame Ari Flescher for Bush's policies? I doubt this guy was involved in any of the nasty stuff....

Yeah, he wasn't evenbad enough to be on the deck of cards, and now he wants to surrender to US forces, but they don't want him. If he was so bad, they would have jumped at the opportunity to arrest him.

He was probably JUST briefed by Al Jazeera that Bagdad has fallen.

 

[LunarRay]

Do any of you remember a fellow named Vlaimir Pozner... a Moscow native that spoke often on Donahue and other programs before the Fall... he was skilled and so is Bagdad Bob... how many lives were lost because lots of folks listened to him while we laughed...

 

[zephyrprime]

I just heard on the radio that one of the Arabic news channels is offerring him a job.
