Nope, you are the first big guy!

Can you translate it for us?

I don't seem to be able to find an on-line translator to plug it into.

Thanks for the info.

 

[styrafoam]

Yes, Please Translate!

 

[DaFinn]

In short,

Expressen is citeing an Iranian paper Al-Weefak that has reported Baghdad-Bob hanged himself shortly after US troops had secured the center of Baghdad.

Gotta be a gag.

I killed myself to prove that I am a martyr for Saddam. I am not dead yet because I am still being a plain martyr as opposed to being a dead martyr, which I would be in an instant, if Saddam called on me, if Saddam was still alive, and if I really wanted to die, which I don't.

I am the former Iraqi Information Minister and everybody listened to me for two weeks and you must listen to me now!

He'll make a great host at the new Denny's we're bulding there.

16 April -- Still no reliable evidence on the fate of Muhammed Saeed
al-Sahaf (M.S.S.)... Iranian newspaper Mardom Salari reports rumors of MSS suicide, but no substantiation. White House believes MSS and other Iraqi bigs now in Syria... Visits to this site average 500,000 per day...

15 April - Daily Telegraph reports that M.S.S. has a son who practices medicine in Ireland. "My father is a good guy," reports Dr. al-Sahaf. "When he comes home from work and takes off his uniform we do not discuss his job."...

LoL I can see it now when he was found.

"The Rope is NOWHERE near my neck. It is now cowering somewhere else in the room. In fact, It is burning in hell at this very moment.
The Chair I stood on was at NO TIME kicked out from under me. In fact there is NO chair in this very room. It is burning in hell
at this very moment. I am NOT swinging dead in front of your very eyes. David Coperfield has trained me well. He is also
burning in hell at this very moment. Pay NO attention to the main behind the curtain."

I loved Minister Magoo. He provided a bit of charm and comedy in an otherwise empty sea of reporting. I especially appreciated his point, that the illusions of certainty that we call our reality is as dilusionary as that he fabricated sui generous before our eyes. We are Minister Magoo, but we don't know it. At least he did so in one respect, at least, he was ahead of us.

No he wasn't. He was a blithering idiot who made things up. There isn't anything else to it.

 

[kylebisme]

oh sure, that means a lot comeing from a fake dimond.

Are you agreeing with me or mocking me?

I understand the guy may have been forced into saying things, but I'm not buying this 'illusion dillusion" bit.

He is the perfect person to enable the Iraqi people to adopt a new national anthem.
"The bombs bursting in air, the tanks rolling with out care and our minister was still there...
oh say can you see the bullets zipping by his hair and with out a care he stood to declare
we'll burn their hearts, their graves will be there and there... in the home of the Iraqi
and the clone of Hussein.

Like his mentor Ari whatshisface would say... we're not going to put a spin on this because the angular momentum coupled with the precession of the mass against its spin axis requires much more force than if we simply let the issue resolve itself and attrit into wherevere the attrited go.
