"Baghdad Bob" is back on the air
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."
Ummm... I notice Bob's not a dead body...
Al-Sahhaf became a laughingstock in the early days of the war when he repeatedly insisted that Iraqi troops were routing American forces - even as U.S. tanks rumbled through Baghdad’s streets.
You can’t make this stuff up.
