| Iraqi Official Threatens ’Non-Conventional’ Attacks |
| 2003-04-04 |
| Edited for length In the face of the allied juggernaut, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, Iraq's information minister, sent a threat to coalition forces. "Tonight we are going to commit untraditional attacks," he said during a press conference Friday. "We will commit a non-conventional act on them, not necessarily military. We will do something that will be a great example for these mercenaries." Al-Sahhaf described the threats as a "kind of martyrdom operations" and insisted Iraq will not use weapons of mass destruction. But he added that the airport, which he described as an "isolated island," will be a "graveyard" for Americans. Yesterday this nimrod said we were over a hundred miles from Baghdad. Al-Sahhaf said it will be "difficult for the U.S. forces that are surrounded in Saddam airport to come out alive." Al-Sahhaf's proclamations have been notorious since the war started. He has told the media that the Iraqis have been slaughtering coalition forces and has insisted that Saddam's regime is in full control of Iraq, despite all the reports coming directly from embedded reporters and U.S. military officials that the situation is exactly the opposite. |

| #4 Um ... I think I saw a fuzzy white bunny, with blood stains on his mouth hopping around in file footage from the airport. "Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!" I wonder if we have a Holy Hand Grenade?? |

| #3 I'm sitting here at my desk at 2:30MST, or about 12:30AM Baghdad time. Has anything happened yet, or is this another example of "wishful thinking"? |

| #2 Mo, ever hear of a guy named Joseph Goebbels? He had a job similar to yours sometime ago in Germany. Read up on him. It'll be enlightening. But it doesn't have a happy ending. |

| #1 Mr. al-Sahhaf: Be warned that untraditional or unnatural acts on our troops will be met with a fury that will pale before your little hyperboles. You can stop digging your grave. It is deep enough now. Bloody moron........... |
