The Iraqi Ministry of Defense has just announced that they are going to unleash some sort of unconventional attack, NOT by the military. Tonight.

Just on CNN...

Slingshots at 20 paces!

That guy is a hoot. He's good for more laughs than anything else on TV at the moment.

And, considering what is going on over there...that is quite sad.

Perhaps they will break out the medieval seige equipment and use it to fling the rotting carcasses of dead camels at the airport in a bioterror attack? In all seriousness, nutty as that guy is, you kind of have to take him seriously when he says something like that. We'll see before too long, and hopefully it won't be anything major.

From BBC:

1555:Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf has said that US forces at Baghdad's main airport are encircled and isolated. He has said the Iraqi military is preparing to launch what he called "non-conventional" attacks later on Friday against the coalition troops at the airport. Military analysts suggest that this is more likely to mean guerrilla tactics and suicide attacks, rather than a chemical or biological attack.

Heh...we're isolated and encircled...funny.

Watching BBC live video he stated "it will not be a military act"..."it will be an example"...or something like that.

More pregnant woman forced to carry out terrorist attacks?

Close....that's the Information Minister. This guy was the Minister of Defence. A BBC reporter pressed him further after his speech and gather the Iraqi response would be more along the lines of guerilla tactics and suicide bombers.

Well, the only thing I shared was the original idea, dwell shared the resources and yllus (at the time he was sully) shared his time to do all the scripting.

You are credited in the FAQ for the idea ;)

Anyway, still laughing at that picture. Walked down the hall before thining "some is queer" and started cracking up. Of course the hottest girl in the department happens to be walking the other way at the time. LOL!

I can't take seriously anything that guy says. The other day, in response to US forces taking the airport, he said "They are not anywhere near Baghdad. They are not even 100 miles from Baghdad. They are nowhere. They are everywhere, like a snake, moving around in the desert".

With crap like that, I wouldn't be surprised if his "unconventional attack" means throwing a rock at a US tank.
