| "Baghdad Bob" is back on the air | |
| 2004-01-12 | |
| NY Post: hat tip: LGF; EFL It’s the all-new Baghdad Bob - he’s cleaned up his act, dyed his hair and he’s back on the air. "My hair is not dyed. It is not within one hundred miles of dyed." Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, the Iraqi minister of disinformation who became famous for his absurd daily reports that Iraq was winning the war, has popped up on Arab television as a commentator - as these new exclusive photos show. The fallen regime spin-doctor was hired by Abu Dhabi TV specifically to rant about his former boss and favorite subject: Saddam Hussein. "Finding [Saddam] wasn’t surprising. However, the way he was arrested was insulting," al-Sahhaf said in a TV interview the day after the former Iraqi dictator was captured. "We never expected that he would be arrested alive. We all were expecting that Saddam would kill himself rather than be [caught]. He said that we would not surrender at all; rather, they [the United States] could only take us as dead bodies."
You can’t make this stuff up. | |

| #2 All I remember is when he tried to turn himself in to the Coalition they told him to go away. Good to see he's got a job, anyway. |

| #1 All kidding aside. Wasn't this guy responsible for some pretty bad crimes against the Iraqi himself? |
