The Guardian: Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf an "unlikely star"
Analysis of and background info on the Iraqi Information [sic] Minister. UNABASHED EDITORIAL COMMENT: Regardless of your views on the merits of the various reasons behind this conflict, we must surely all agree that exposing this man to truth is a noble cause.

This poor, poor man. He's still waiting on Elvis and Michael Jackson's monkey to show up in a flying saucer and take him and Saddam off to Neverland, where they will plot to destroy the infidels. Posted by: phred at April 6, 2003 11:29 PMI think saeed sahaf or whatever his name is is absolutely hilarious to watch, and his quotes are funny as hell; too bad he works for such a monster. I would much rather have him on our side than that Torie clark chick, and he has much better fashion sense. Imagine him dressing down the washington press corps, that would be funny. Posted by: mav at April 6, 2003 11:35 PMI kinda like the guy. If the US doesn't throw him in a prison when the war's over, I think it would be fun to take him out for drinks. He, alone in the entire bloody Iraqi regime, seems to have a sense of humor and with his courageous efforts, Iraq is currently winning by a landslide the war of insults. Calling Rumsfield a criminal dog who needs to be beaten with a shoe was definitely a work of genius. Besides I also admire him for being clean-shaven in a land of nearly mandatory moustaches. Posted by: a Saeed alSahaf fan at April 6, 2003 11:37 PMAbsolutely. The guy has become must-see-TV. He's a hoot. I try all the PoMo deconstructionist theories I can come up with (he's in on the joke, we're in on the joke, after the war we're all gonna have suuuch a laugh!), but I really can't come up with anything that explains him. Doesn't make him any less compelling, though. Posted by: DontTread at April 6, 2003 11:41 PMIt is impressive to know that you stupid criminal mercenary funding imperialist conquistadors recognize true genius when you see it. Brave Iraqi forces, after having beaten the American army and their british lackeys, will soon be on your doorsteps, surrounding and pounding your cities like we did to Saddam international airport. Do not resist and surrender to Iraqi forces at your first opportunity, it is your only hope. Posted by: Saeed Al-Sahaff at April 6, 2003 11:43 PMAdmittedly, the guy is amusing to watch in action, and, admittedly, it will be interesting to learn whether this is all a virtuoso performance or if he is just completely delusional . . . However, let's not lose sight of the fact that this guy is calling for "acts of martyrdom" by Iraqis and other Muslims. I don't know if I'd be able to just have a drink with him; I might have to kick the living shit out of him first. By the way, is it safe to assume that he has already been given honorary membership to the Flat Earth Society? Posted by: SunDevilDog at April 6, 2003 11:46 PMGive him a job as a halftime analyst for Monday Night Football. Score: Bears 21 Packers 3 "Thisisnottrue. Chicago attempted to score but has been driven back repeatedly!!! They will fail and Lambeau Feild will be their grave!!!" It'd keep me from running to the refrigerator. Posted by: JDB at April 6, 2003 11:47 PMReminds me of that character Jon Lovitz did on SNL. "We blew up five...fifty... FIVE HUNDRED American tanks! Yeah, that's the ticket! It was done by fedayeen led by Morgan Fairchild..." Posted by: David Hines at April 6, 2003 11:50 PMI love this guy. He belongs reading the news on SNL. Not many Arabs read western literature, but this guy sure has...he could lecture on Candide as well as Orwell's 1984 at Harvard. Optimism is a rare quality in this modern world, and Sahaf is really a "glass half full" type if I ever saw one. Posted by: Quinn at April 6, 2003 11:50 PMAnyone remember Beavis and Butthead? This guy reminds me of Beavis' alter-ego Cornholio: "My people. They are without TP. No TP for their bungholes." Sorry. I guess you had to be there. Posted by: lewy14 at April 6, 2003 11:51 PMAnyone know a source of all the Iraqi briefing transcipts, with English Translation? Posted by: Alan E Brain at April 6, 2003 11:57 PMThe last order from Soddom was: "Tell the world we're winning the war." And he's been doing his best ever since. Because if he doesn't, the shredder's waiting. Truly, he ought to get an honorary Oscar. Posted by: Kathleen at April 7, 2003 12:01 AMSomehow when he calls the president 'Creeeeminal Bush Junior' I'm less offended than when Michael Moore makes the same charge. Posted by: Melissa at April 7, 2003 12:17 AMHave they ordered the black Nikes yet? Posted by: Lonewacko at April 7, 2003 12:33 AMPost a comment
