1138: Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf dismisses as "silly" reports that US troops are near Baghdad.

Reminds of this dialogue from The Holy Grail:

"I'm invincible!"
"You're a loony!"

The info minister is by far my favorite Iraqi speaker thus far. He lies with such enthusiasm and gusto, it's heartening. AND he speaks fluent English, so everyone can hear his verbal diarrhea!

Pers,
you are on crack if you think the American media has a pro-war bias.

With the exception of Fox, the other network news stations have a blatantly liberal anti-war bias. They have been the ones blowing every casualty and setback way out of proportion. They are the ones who have been spewing this nonsense about us having underestimated the Iraqi resistance. They are the ones who have been giving the impression that things are not going well. They are the ones who call an incident in which hundreds of Iraqi soldiers are killed with no coalition casualties "fierce resistance".

Peter Arnett went to an extreme in his ridiculous statements, but most of the american networks have been doing the same thing to a lesser extent.

There's a reason CNN was still allowed in Baghdad when stations like FOX were kicked out.

I could not agree more!
