http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,100950,00.html CAIRO, Egypt — Iraq's former information minister said Wednesday that Saddam Hussein was elated at the start of the Iraq war, but quickly became angry upon learning of his troops' losses. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf -- who gained notoriety during the war for making absurd claims of Iraqi military victories -- made his comments during an interview on Abu Dhabi Television. During the first four days of the war, which began March 20, al-Sahhaf said Saddam was "in a state of ecstasy" about the progress of his soldiers in Basra, in southern Iraq. "But to the contrary, he was angry when reports reached him that Baath Party units' fighting was bad, and he immediately changed their leaders with military officers," he said. During previous appearances on the station, the defiant al-Sahhaf always stood up for Saddam and the former Iraqi regime. "I don't regret what I did. I have done my duty as an Iraqi," he said Wednesday. He disappeared April 9, the day Baghdad fell, and reportedly hid in a relative's home. He claims he surrendered to U.S. forces, was questioned and released, as he was not included in the list of 55 most wanted Iraqi officials. He also said Saddam's days of leadership are over. "History does not move backward and he [Saddam] has no chance to return [to power]; He who says so is ignorant of the reality of life. This subject is finished," al-Sahhaf said. Asked by a viewer whether Saddam was a good or bad person, al-Sahhaf said: "History will judge Saddam Hussein, either positively or negatively." Al-Sahhaf cast doubts about mass graves found after the fall of the regime. "This issue should be investigated thoroughly and decided by the court because there is a lot of inaccurate stories about it," he said. He did not elaborate. Good to see Bob back at work - appears his opinions have changed a little. |
well, he has the right to his own opinions.
what he did durin the war was misrepresent facts. i wonder why the hell did he say those things when it was evident that the contrary was true..... |
He was saying whatever Saddam instructed him to say. Better to look like an idiot than take a bullett in the head, or worse.
Besides Baghdad Bob gave us better sound bytes than Warren Sapp, and that can be tough. |
"There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!"
"Our initial assessment is that they will all die" "We are not afraid of the Americans. Allah has condemned them. They are stupid. They are stupid" (dramatic pause) "and they are condemned." It's a riot that we gave him Bob for a moniker. Bagdad Gary just doesn't have the same ring to it. Coulda been Bagdad Barry, or Barney, or Bill. Nope, gave him Bob. What's more American than a Bob? You got your Bob Hope, Bob Barker, Bob Hayes. We bob for apples, bob our hair, and who doesn't like a little good ol' head bobbin'? Yeah, that Bagdad Bob was the comic relief that all wars need. Something to temporarily take your mind off all the killing and destroying and what not. |
I'm still of the opinion that he should be offered his own T.V. show. When put up against what's out there now...it's a sure fire hit.
|
I think he could get a job here easily. Any of the major networks would hire him. "ABC Evening News with Baghdad Bob". It's got a certain ring to it.
|
Becareful Comedy Central might pick up on this idea. He could become a regular Crank Yankers. Now that would be funny.
|
I love this guy, he makes me laugh. Anyone know where I can find those talking dolls made after him? :)
|
wow haven't seen this guy in a while
he's probably in the U.S. already in secret ;) |
