iraq's information minister

[ElFenix]

wouldn't you just love to see this guy talking live about how they're driving back the US forces from the airport (forces that he said didn't hold any of iraq the other day) and then see special forces tackle him live on camera?

Yesterday, this guy said that American forced are not even within 100 miles of Iraq. Made me chuckle

 

[RossGr]

Yeah, now we are trapped in downtown Baghdad!

what a baffoon.

 

[ElFenix]

oh now hes saying the reporters can go visit the airport and see that theres nothing there

 

[Kadarin]

He's giving a press conference *right now* talking about how they've got the US surrounded in the airport and that they're working on "clearing the area".. Pretty entertaining stuff. He also mentioned how supposedly a couple of Coalition armored columns approached Basra, but were turned back after losses of something like 5 tanks. He took one question from someone in the audience, who asked an honest question about reports of US troops entering the city, and he said "you can go there, there's nothing there!"

I can't wait until the war is over and we have control of the country. This guy will be holding press conferences from his living room while he's living in exile in another country. He'll still be saying that the US is not in Baghdad, it's just an illusion.

What I'm waiting for is the first group of Marines to break into his room while he's in the middle of saying,

"Woo hoo! There are no Americans in Baghdad!"
<Crash> <Boom>
"No wait....DOH!"

heh...this from the BBC:

1540: In an interview with the Arabic television channel al-Jazeera, Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf denies reports of US raids into Baghdad. He says pictures of the fighting being shown are not shots of the city's outskirts, but of the district near the airport.

LOL...I was thinking the exact same thing earlier today. I could just imagine this boob giving a live broadcast about how the infidels are being driven out of all of Iraq, even as Marines enter the studio and arrest him.
