Tikkabik

This Moron should be shot. They say he has no blood on his hands, but his lying to the rest of the world should be a War Crime...why don't they find where he is and send in a couple of more Missles??? Wait....don't waste them on him----save them for the REAL saddam.....just give him a good-old-fashioned East-Texas Ass Whoppin...

He's entertaining, he's saving his skin from his bloodthirsty "shoot the messenger" boss....but he's prolonging the agony in Baghdad, costing additional civilian and military lives. He is as evil as Tokyo Rose, but somehow more "appealing" - ya gotta feel sorry for the guy, but he's killing his countrymen...every day that they believe his "drek" is another day that his countryment resist and die.

He's a CIA operative talking in code to the Special Ops team...or a writer for Saturday Night Live.

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf
"The Minister of Information"

This guy is the real (actual) Saddam Hussein. I
am sure of it.
The slippery mustached Saddam we all know, with
his entourage of "look alikes" and palaces for
each, is nothing more than a clever deception.
Saddam's likeness is a merely a media character -
an Avatar. There is no Saddam, like there is no
Uncle Sam.

Mohammed al-Sahaf is too confident and outspoken
to be a loyal minion (of a Saddam). Especially
with a post like the Minister of Information.
I think he is the the fanatic playing the
orchestra. He is the wizard who has come out from
behind the curtain to face his destiny, or make
it.

that's my take on it.

Arent the corridors of most building housing the worlds most powerful men( by vitue of the resources they control) littered with men of characters such as Al -Sahaaf. Inspect your Governments and beware of what you will find!!

Well, he must be appreciated for his boldness. Only a couple of people have that much courage to speak a lie in front of audience when they are sure he is lying.

Secondly, just before loosing glow, a candle burns more. Therefore, never mind the last acts of a dying hero.

Please ... do not take yourself so seriues (the war is offcourse) ... this man is a clown and he is showing daily what a morons they really are.

It is a shame that all the iraqi people had to suffer so long.

Keep up the good work guys!

Mohammed 'comical Ali' Al-sahaf has been the comic relief of the American War Reality Show. He gives me a good laugh everytime he starts lying in English... "they will surrender, or get burnt in their tanks". But there are suggestions this minister of (dis)information might have been passing the right information to the people that mattered. He has always progressed by betrayal. He betrayed his brother-in-law for a place in the Saddam elite... he might have played 'Judas' again, this time, on the iraqi tyrant himself.

THIS FRANK SPENCER LOOKALIKE DESERVES A CHAT SHOW ON CHANNEL 4. LOOK OUT BOLLYWOOD HERE COMES AL SAHAF

I agree as a brit i find his daily banter highly amusing, i get home as quikly as possible to watch the war "news" so I don't miss his daily installment! lol :-)

Does Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf do after dinner
speaking as our speaker has cried off at the last minute. His stories don't have to be true as long as they are funny.

Some gorgeous quotes:

Dubbed Comical Ali by some British newspapers, the Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf has become a cult figure because of his colourful language and wild claims.

With a grinning face and wild gesticulations, he is the man charged with giving the Iraqi side of the story.

Here are a selection of some of his quotes:

"We will push those crooks, those mercenaries back into the swamp" - Al-Sahhaf makes his debut as the Coalition launches its first bombing raids.

On an air attack on Najaf, he said: "What they say about a breakthrough [in Najaf] is completely an illusion. They are sending their warplanes to fly very low in order to have vibrations on these sacred places . . . they are trying to crack the buildings by flying low over them."

Early in the campaign, al-Sahhaf accused the Allies of booby-trapping pencils.

"The authority of the civil defence ... issued a warning to the civilian population not to pick up any of those pencils because they are booby traps," he said. He added that British and American forces were "immoral mercenaries" and "war criminals".

He continued: "I am not talking about the American people and the British people. I am talking about those mercenaries. ... They have started throwing those pencils, but they are not pencils, they are booby traps to kill the children."

'A despicable creature'

At one point in the campaign, Al-Sahaf said the Iraqis had "shot down a lot of those cruise missiles" and said the war's impact was "trivial."

"I can assure you that those villains will recognize, will discover in appropriate time in the future how stupid they are and how they are pretending things which have never taken place," he added.

And he has a low opinion of US Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld. A "crook" and "the most despicable creature" is how he describes him.

He was dismissive of footage shown by several media outlets showing American troops defeating Republican Guard units on the outskirts of Baghdad: "These images are not the suburbs of Baghdad," he said. "From what I glimpsed, these gardens with rows of palm trees on the side, which you saw in the images, are located in the south of Abu Ghreib, where we have surrounded the Americans and British."

After the Americans seized Saddam Airport and TV cameras were allowed in, al-Sahhaf continued to deny the reports: "We butchered the force present at the airport," he said.

'We are destroying them'

Al-Sahhaf perhaps saved his best performance for the moment American tanks rolled into Baghdad.

"There is no presence of American infidels in the city of Baghdad," he declared to journalists on the roof of the Palestine Hotel as gunfire echoed across the city and tanks fired from the banks of the Tigris just a few hundred yards away.

As the U.S forces finally broke through, he said, "One hundred infidels commited suicide as they entered the holy city of Bagdhad. Their tanks will become their tombs."

As the audience of bemused reporters pointed out the fierce firefight across the river, he continued: "There is no presence of the American columns in the city of Baghdad at all. We besieged them and we killed most of them."

"Today, the tide has turned,'' he continued confidently. "We are destroying them."

And after an American tank shell hit the hotel, killing two cameramen, he moved to reassure the world's press corps. "We are not afraid," he proclaimed, adding paternally "And don't you be afraid".

Asked on Tuesday whether Iraqi soldiers should surrender, he said: "They [the Americans] are going to surrender or be burned in their tanks. They will surrender, it is they who will surrender."

Are the old regime holding a gun to his families head. Why else would he be so deluded

he reminds me of THE BLACK KNIGHT in The Monty Python Classic 'Quest for the Holy Grail '....Do the lines ......'But A Flesh Wound'.... and 'Come back and I'll bite your ankles', remind you of annyone ???? The man is, in a very serious situation, a sheer comic genius and much sought after entertainment of a night !!!!!!

Have got to support my fellow Brits in this. Give the man a game show

But where is he now?!?
It is mid-morning Wednesday in the Mountain West of the US, and we haven't heard anything today about his whereabouts.

any reports out there?

THE AMERICANS ARE NOT IN BAGHDAD!!! DO NOT BELIEVE THEM, THE TANKS ARE AN ILLUSION! GIVE AL-SAHAF A JOB IN STORMONT LOL

They should give this guy his own night time talk show. "They are no where near Baghdad!" -gotta love the humor!

Al - Sahaf had to do what he did or else......
He behaved just the same way all Iraqi People did for the last 30 years.

Oh , and he sure was funny

I think the best thing he's said so far is "The Americans are using a tactic I call...Stupid, Silly." He should really be ashamed that the Stupid, Silly tactic worked so well!
I think I really do have a fondness for incredibly dumb people.

Iraqi Mis-Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf I believe is auditioning for a spot beside David Letterman, this guy is halarious. Last I heard Iraq had distroyed all Coalition forces and Saddam is vacationing in the Caribean, that is why no one has seen him.

Al Sahaf MUST be in vited as a guest star on Saturday Night Live !!

He has all the qualities of a celebrity!, humour, charm, wonderful turn of phrase, and a great beret!!!, I hope he's not come to the same fate as Chemical Ali, please, please find him.

At least Al-Sahaf's daily briefing left me watering at the mouth hanging on his every word - he's the funniest thing I've seen on TV in ages.

I found "coalition" propaganda a lot less amusing, just jingoistic bullshit made to look like it was something credible.

Nick

PS He sure had a point about Rumsfeld though.

Al-Sahaf would render Jerry Seinfeld useless.

I love this clown. His shows are more entertaining than Jerry Seinfeld's. I really miss Al-Sahaf

CNBC late night showshould ask him to sign-up a sit-com. I am sure this would be great hit in America. David Letterman should be wary of this new-comer. May steal the show !!!!!

al-Sahaf, where are you? All of us are missyou so much! Hope to hear you soon :)

Mohammed Saeed Al-Sahhaf has apparently no blood on his hands and I heard recently that the coalition are not targeting him.
Stop and think about this guy for a minute.
He remained at his post right up until the last minute, which is a hell of a lot more than can be said for the rest of them.
He is the funniest guy I've seen for a long long time. I think he is superb ! I really believe he should be brought to the West. He doesn't know it yet, but wealth and fame await him.
How many of you would line up outside to pay $100 just to hear him. I know I would.
We need to help him !
How can we do this ?

They're looking for contestents to appear on 'I'm a Celebrity, get me out of here' he'd be perfect, or you could have him hosting his own programme: "History according to Mo". On the Titanic: "Don't worry, we're not sinking, the iceberg was an illusion invented by criminals"

At Custer's last stand: "There are no red indians surrounding us, in fact we have surrounded them"

To Gallileo: "I'm telling you the world is flat, those who say it is round are lying Western hoodlums and will commit suicide by falling off the edge of it"

My favorite quote was "The American forces are like a 500Km snake!...and we are cutting it into peices"

You gotta love this guy!

I heard he is going to star in Austin Powers 4, they are going to call it Liar Liar Pants on Fire and he plays the character Badgad Bob. They lock him up in the end and make him work for the local city council ("yes, yes we will be there next week to fix your roads"), thats only after they stuff his mouth full of marbles and try and drown him....but you know he just talked his way out of there.
The instoppable Bagdad Bob.
They are going to make a toy version of him, tells all sorts of tall stories... naturally runs on high powered Duracell or eveready golds.

He was a character like al pacino in Scarface but he never used the f... word, at least not on camera...but there is no doubt he is a natural comedian with his sharp wit, turn of phrase, and will provide much needed laughter for coalition forces when they get to see the video....If they capture him they should send him to the US by public demand!

Man, this guy is crazy he goes out on the streets in Baghdad talking to media every day.

He really scared me the first few days of the war.

me my mum and our paul miss al saeed sahaf too! can the bbc (united Kingdom) have him on tv too? we are very concerned for him.

Please dont go Al-Sahhaf. We loved you very much, you will be sorely missed.

mohamed saeef al-sahaf should be made new president of Iraq, he's genial, funny, charming and educated. He'd make a brilliant leader

mohamed saeed al-sahaf should be made new president of Iraq, he's genial, funny, charming and educated. He'd make a brilliant leader

We need to get together and start a petition to bring Sahhaf to safety, this guy has got to protected! even the pentagon miss him! official emails from the pentagon say Sahhaf boosted their morale and provided them with numerous laughs over their coffee in the morning.

Lets hope that he's not taken down, and lets all keep our eyes and ears open for any info on where and how he is now.

THIS MAN HAS GOT A FUTURE!

Reminds me of a slightly mad French Napoleon depicted looking through the wrong end of
a small telescope while crying "Ships? Ships?! Where are those ships, I see no British ships!"
meanwhile his small fleet is encircled by the entire British navy who are now proceeding
to fire their canons at a distance of just a few meters.

"We will easily crush the British and American's, all of them! Their tombs will be here, right in Baghdad."

SAVE AL SAHAF HIS ONLY CRIME WAS LOYALTY. SURELY SINN FEIN COULD USE A GUY LIKE HIM. HE HAS ALL THE QUALIFICATIONS, MARTIN MAGUINESS GLASSES AND BERET AND GERRY KELLYS SKILLS AS AN ORATOR AND LIAR.

I think Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf the Iraq Information Minister must get his information from his TV set which has only one TV channel, piped straight thru from Baghdad HQ. Either that or he's on some very good drugs which seem to be very affective at blocking out all reality.

Breaking News

Gary Lineker votes Mo 'Man of the Match'.

sahaf made it clear the nature of the systematic deception imposed on iraqi people for decades by baathists.

This guy was a laugh a minute a true modern day jester for the royal court of Sadam currently been looted and burned by it loyal subjects Lol ahhhhhhhh it just warms my heart. Anyway yeah sahaf man throughly brilliant loved every minute of his running commentries on the war very good - Sadam is dead long live president Sahhaf !!!

Does anyone know if Comedy Mo has committed any crimes/atrocities?
It would be a great shame if he had, it would be good if he didn't get locked up but could do the chatshow circuit instead.

Did anyone see the hilarious bit on Jay Leno the other night when "Mo"was holding his daily press conference and the statue of Saddam that was toppled on 4/9 fell and the arm smacked "Mo' right in his head toppling him as well as it fell? It was really funny and deserving!!

And the Oscar for best performance goes to Mohammed Saeed Al-Sahaf for his role in the film: "selling illusions". Al-Sahaf: "I would like to thank the producers Dave Deception and Maggie Magics, my agent Ian Irreal, my brevet cleaner Frank I.N. Control, to all my fans who supported me in the hard days, and especially, George A. lot of Bu(ll)sh(it).

This guy is a gift for humanity. I collect all is pictures since the start of the war. This guy won the war for humor, we have got to admit that. The American supremacy does have it's limits, thanks to Al Sahaf.

We are not worthy, we are not worthy. You were the best.

Breaking News

Mohammed Saeed Al-Sahaf accepts a new role in the movie: "Nothing but the thruth", after he had refused to play in the movie "liar, liar" because it could damage it's reputation.

April 09, 2003

An American reporter, picking his way through the bombed streets of Baghdad, stumbled across the Iraqi Minister of Information, Saeed al-Sahaf, who was finishing off a cheeseburger in a deli.

Reporter: Well, hello, Mr. al-Sahaf.

Al-Sahaf: Hello, imperialistic infidel dog.

Reporter: Looks like quite a cheeseburger you have there.

The Iraqi Minister of Information quickly ate the last of his meal.

Al-Sahaf: You evil American snake. Your ignorance will lead you to a horrible, screaming death in the sand. That was not a cheeseburger.

Reporter: It wasn't?

Al-Sahaf: No, fool, it was not. There are no cheeseburgers in Baghdad.

Reporter: All right then. Sir, I was wondering if I could ask you what you plan to do after the Americans finish taking over Baghdad.

Al-Sahaf: There are no Americans in Baghdad. It is an illusion conjured up by the Great Satan. The Americans are not even 100 miles from here. They are all committing suicide in the desert, to escape the shame and embarrassment of having been duped by their tyrannical cowboy leaders into believing that they were worthy of even standing in shock and awe before the gates of our mighty city, let alone attempting a cowardly approach with their tanks, which we repelled. All of their tanks have been destroyed.

The ground shook, and an American M-1 Abrams tank thundered past the front door of the deli, pausing briefly to fire off a shell.

Al-Sahaf: That was an Iraqi tank.

Reporter: But it had an American flag on it.

Al-Sahaf: There was no American flag on that tank.

Reporter: I saw it right on the side, right under the spray-painted sign that said "Kiss This, Saddam."

Al-Sahaf: That was the noble Iraqi soldier's message of love to his president.

Reporter: In English?

Al-Sahaf: It was in Arabic.

Reporter: But I read it in English.

Al-Sahaf: You are a true fool if you believe that an Iraqi soldier would write a message to his president in English.

Reporter: But...

Al-Sahaf: It is all lies upon lies upon lies. The ignorant blood-sucking criminals who call themselves Americans, who booby-trap pens and pencils and throw them into the villages where children can find them, cannot see the truth before their eyes, and you, as reporters, who are charged with seeking the truth, and who instead spread the lies of the heretical American pencil-booby-trappers, are the worst of all.

Reporter: We are?

Al-Sahaf: You lying curs have written that the Americans have taken and renamed Saddam International Airport, calling it now Baghdad International. However, the highway signs still say Saddam International, and YahooMaps still has it listed under its true name. Do you see? If it were true, these things would have been changed. Yet you report this blasphemous propaganda. For your lies, God shall boil your eyeballs in chemicals.

Reporter: That reminds me; a 101st Airborne division found some chemical drums the other day...

Al-Sahaf: They did not.

Reporter: ... and field tests indicated the presence of sarin and tabun, which as you know are nerve agents...

Al-Sahaf: They are not.

Reporter: ... and they're going to do some more tests to confirm what they've found, to make sure it's not just another false alarm...

Al-Sahaf: It is not.

Reporter: ... and I was wondering if you'd want to comment ... wait, did you just say it's not a false alarm?

Al-Sahaf: I did not.

The reporter paused.

Reporter: The sun will rise in the morning.

Al-Sahaf: It will not. It has not risen over Baghdad in centuries. That is a Zionist-imperialist lie, and you will go to hell for it.

Reporter: All right. So what are you going to do after the war?

Al-Sahaf hesitated, and looked over his shoulder before answering.

Al-Sahaf: I am going stick with politics.

The whole bunch is drinking VODKA and eating CAVIAR some where in RUSSIA while laughing about AL's Jokes.

I think this guy is funny as fuck he amuses me, hes quite harmless though i disagree anything should happen to him, hes just full of shit thats all, when the regime goes he will probably be appologising saying he was forced to say those things.

HEY GUYS THANKS FOR ALL THE LOVE U SHOWERED ON ME,I KNOW I HAVE BEEN NOMINATED FOR THE OSCARS,I MISS U GUYS TOO..AND I AINT ANTI AMERICAN..I WAS JUST "OBEYING ORDERS FROM THE MOUSATCHED BASTARD"AND GOOD NEWS FOR U GUYS ,I AM THE NEW SPOKESPERSON FOR THE NORTH KOREAN ARMY..SO U GUYS HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD..LOOKING FORWARD TO PERFORM IN PYONG YANG TAKE CARE FELLAS

USA Today had an article in today's issue regarding a website created for him.

http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com

Now that is has no much of a job left to him, I offer my homosexual being to his hands, to his feet and to his aggressive desires! Never a man impressed me so much before; I want to offer him the opportunity to detonate his virility up to an absolute degree and to make of me the most effeminate gay of the world!
Sahaf I kiss you; do of my body the vessel of your sadomasochistic voluptuous desires!
Totally yours!

Old Al-Sahaf just got himself a new job as a spokeman for the new HardRock Cafe in downtown Baghdad..by the way it opens "summer July 4th 2004

Don't worry about Mr. Sahaf. He has become one of the coalition partners who have done so much to make this war enjoyable. Latest I've heard is that the Bush administration had already hired him to work on their economic stimulus package. Remember the poor should pay more taxes so their infidel souls will learn the true pleasure of work.

Last known comment that Al-Sahaf made before he left us was "fine the Americans are here, but they will never open that Hooters bar and grill in Baghdad like they wanted to"!!! "OVER MY DEAD BODY!!!!

This man's version of fair and balanced news should earn him a spot on FOX news

la ag

I hope that Iraqi forces don't end up killing him or that coalition forces don't either. I feel sorry for the fellow actually, I think he's pretty much forced to maintain that attitude if he wanta to stay alive. Since he has no future in Iraq, I'd like to see him on an American talk show making big American $$$.

I love this Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf fellow.

in a way i like the guy too, but i dont know if its right to say that because his lies probably cost thousandth of lives when they could have just given up. also, as information minister and highranking official, he covered up all those regime crimes for years. i dont think that a certain weird kind of positive popularity should save him from prosecution (or else...). after all he helped is buddies treat so many people like crap for years. however, for some odd reason he is actually the only one of those guys i feel kind of sorry for. dont even know if its fair to say that...

Give it time, the late night shows and morning news will be tripping over each other to get him on for interviews. Before you know it he will he'll be on Cross-Fire. Can you imagine facing off against this kind of charisma in political dialogue. I mean how do you counter such comments as "The Americans are using a tactic I call...Stupid, Silly." Your screwed, what can you say that could possibly phase this guy.

He knows what he's doing, he's preparing to invade the US and make his millions. Hell, I think the guy is great!

Save Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf!

U PPL R STOOPID!

YES U!

It is not Saeed al-Sahaf who cost thousends of lives , it is the agression of the USA that cost these lives

USA Today article - MSS is cyberspace

http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/internet/04/11/offbeat.minister.site.reut/index.html

Let us not forget that Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf was also a leading figure in Iraq, but I don't look forward to see him kill, as I don't want any Iraq or US or UK to be killed. If they capture him, he must get his own talkshow, free of charge, as a I am bored to see soap's everyday. He is a natural born TV talent. But I won't pay anything for him, to many Iraq people are suffering by him in the last decade. To be a free of charge TV star for the rest of his live, will be his suffering.

I think he would make a great talk show host in the tradition of Rosie.

He's been located!!!

al Sahaf has been found working as a Clown under a Bigtop in Syria near Damascus. He was quoted as complaining about the roar of the grease-paint and the smell of the crowd. Of course, he meant the opposite!

It is so boring today

i'd pay a thousand bucks just to have a word with him....please please please bring him back on t.v. ...i miss the comdey show.. :(

I think this guy has a good chance at hosting Saturday Night Live or winning the Democrat Party primary. At least he’s an up front liar who looks good wearing a FRENCH hat.

No way Jose, this guy is what Enron needs for PR!! Hire him-

Note to TIME magazine: forget "Man of the Year"...we got ourselves a "Mo' of the Year"...

I kept waiting for the barrel of an M1A1 to appear quietly among Bob's rack of microphones while he was speaking. The man has a weird kind of bravery, veeerrrrry weird.

What was that guy smokin and where can I get some?

Ok, so if he could keep in character I wouldn't mind seeing this guy in commedy either but he would have to perform from behind prison bars. He, no matter what affections the infidel masses have for him must pay reporations for his part in supporting heinous crimes against the kind, human people of Iraq and humanity. Long live Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf in reparation for his culpableness.

outgunned outplaned outshiped outtanked
standing there with his little black beret
coming up with these liners..the guys got balls

My absolute favorite...

When coalition forces took over the airport, Mohammed Saeed al Sahhaf declared:

"The soldiers of Saddam Hussein have given them a lesson they will never forget."

This guy is by far the most amusing astounding entertaining comedian I've ever seen. Just look at his performance on top of a roof (since his own office is up in cloud nine) with bullets and tanks ramming and pounding his ass, you've got to laugh your ass off.

In my opinion, 9.95 for his hilarious performance, which tops both Jerry and Drew.

What a fucking bullshiter!

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf. He knew very well that he was lying but he wanted to frustrate Western Media and USA. Even Iraqis knew that he was bull shitting. He wasn't funny but sickening to watch him. Few more weeks no one will remember him.. He is like the insane gay see standing on the cornet talking to himself... And this is where you will find him.. On some street corner by himself lost in this world.

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf is the true star of the war. I would gladly swap two hours of bland CentCom briefings by Tommy Franks and Vincent Brooks for two minutes of al-Sahaf's rhetoric. The guy provided much needed light relief in what is otherwise a rather serious war. He also reminds us to take briefings (from all sides) with a pinch of salt.

With his loyalty to his country's regime, his punchy graphic ad-libs and his skill at mixing propoganda with light-entertainment, he would surely be the perfect anchor for a Fox News show.

Call me shallow, but I'm don't care whether they find Saddam or the Weapons of Mass Distruction, just so long as they find Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf and give him his own talk show.

OK OK so the "Mo Man" could carry the schtick...we may get our wish to see him again...the most wanted list is out and he didnt make it...anybody know where any video of this guy is on the web?

Everyone who actually gets upset about this guy needs to lighten up. In a very tough world, we all need a little laugh and who has given us more laughs in this war than Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf.

Now quiet you gang of godless infidels!!

"Pay no attention to that man behind behind the curtain"

WHENEVER I'M FEELING DOWN HIS SILLY COMMENTS GIVE ME A GOOD LAUGH. OH MY STOMACH HURTS FROM ALL THE LAUGHING, I GOT TEARS IN MY EYES IT'S SO FUNNY.

"It is all fabrication, lies, deceit, and propaganda put forth by the Americans, British and their Zionist allies. Their invading forces are nowhere near Baghdad," he said.
"In fact, they are nowhere near Iraq at all! They are not even in the Middle East. Valiant Iraqi forces have pushed the tyrants completely from the country and back across the ocean."

CAN JAY LENO GET HIM ON THE TONIGHT SHOW?

this guy was funny, bring him to hollywood.. I enjoyed his comedy standups... thanks to all U.S and British soldiers for freeing Iraq... As for Germany,France, and Russia shut the hell up .. to scared to go to war but now that it's almost over they want to stick thier nose in where it doesn't belong..

If Mohammed Saeed al Sahaf worked for Bill Clinton:

Sahaf (re:Clinton), "That would depend on what your definition of 'is' is".
"It is all fabrication, lies, deceit, and propaganda put forth by the Americans...God willing... he was nowhere near that blood sucking woman," "In fact, they were nowhere near each other at all!"

i find two morons lieing in the front of the camera one is bush junior and other donald rumsfelds. honourable sahaf is just protecting his country from "crusaders" on media. i pray allah almighty bless saddam with the heads of the crusaders and allah will curse israel and so called"coalation"
there are atleast 3000 coalation casualties in iraq but these duffers are hiding the figures from the world

i think saddamwas pushing him to say so.if saddam was after any one of u what do u think u r doing..

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf.is without doubt the best thing to grace our tv screens since this load of bollocks started

I hope the coalition forces find this man but please don't hurt him. We need his sense of humor. He's a breath of fresh air in oil-burned Baghdad.

I found a resume for Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf on Monster. It is a hoot.

Don't know much about Iraqi politics, but it seems to me Mohammed would make good Iraqi leader. The guy didn't bolt when the bombs started to rain. He stood there reassuring local folk when the going got tough.

This guy had too much of thier hash before the interview and forgot which side he was refering to "The soldiers of Saddam Hussein have given them a lesson they will never forget." and the evr famous.."they are using a tactic calld stupid silly"

For a man to see his world falling apart,yet put on a brave face and do his duty knowing he could be killed anytime,we can only admire such a soul. Wherever you are Sahaf,i hope you're safe.
As for those who would like to see him on the talk show circuit,he's not a sideshow, he's a human being.He may seem like a joke, but i'm sure it took a lot of willpower to appear so cool.He was trying to boost the morale of his people and soldiers, futile as it was.I hope Bush and co. will finally do something to atone for the misery that America (gov't) has inflicted on the people of Iraq et al...wasn't it the cia that put Saddam in power?

They have started throwing those pencils, but they are not pencils, they are booby traps to kill the children

I was relieved to find others who shared my "fond feelings for MSS". I wondered if he took his blankie and pillow with him when he fled. I agree he has BALLS, and was doing his job fathfully, gotta love him....even if it seems wrong. Where do I sign the petition???
Save M.S.S!

At last we have a comedian to take the place of our dearly beloved Tommy Cooper. Or if you are a Geordie ( Bobby Thompson). Let him serve whatever sentence he has to then invite him to the London Palladium.
This half wit has provided the only light relief to a horrible situation, other than the futile efforts of the pulse eating 'peaceniks' who don't want to save the people of Iraq so much as they want to denegrate the USA.
The Americans deserve support and Comical Ali deserves to survive but only if he is prepared to work his way up through the ranks. I suggest that his first role could be as the back end of the camel in the Ali Baba pantomime.

Congratulations MR Al-Sahaf, we wish you the best.
Please get in touch with Augustin kontchou Nkomeigne, the former information and external relations minister of Cameroon. You seem to share many things. It would be interesting to know who is the funniest lier among you.

"the looting is trivial" "it's only one man taking one vase, the media is showing it over and over again" "Bagdad is untidy"

Ooops! sorry, that wasn't al-Sahaf, that was Rumsfeld

rather be a peacenik than a redneck

They're setting up a new server at the moment.
Should be up again soon.

http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com

Get this man a job doing PR for a cgiarette company!

We made them drink poison last night and Saddam Hussein's soldiers and his great forces gave the Americans a lesson which will not be forgotten by history.

ALLAH'S CURSE IS UPON THE AMERICANS ,ISRAELIS AND BRITONS WHO ARE DIEING FOR THE JERKS IN WASHINTON AND LONDON ALLAH WILL THROW THEM IN HELL I SWEAR. AND THEY WILL BURN IN OIL FOR WHICH THEY HAVE COME TO IRAQ

all the rhetoric is so fucked up. wish we could all just live and let live

This man is a comedic genius and the coalition forces should make sure he is given safe haven. I wish the academy awards weren't over since his performance was better than any of the infidel nominees.

Instead of being tried for war crimes, he should be given his own talk show on Al Jazeera where he can talk about the ever evolving situation in the region!

An Honorable man who was defending his country and fellow citizens. His genuine approach and high spirit is a model for the weak and oppressed to rise against the strong and oppressive. In his heart, Iraq which has sufferend sanctions inflicted by the "democratic" powers of the world, has suffered so much. The Iraqi children lacked food, medicine and proper education. The Iraqis lacked a proper and normal life. And to add insult to injury, those same "democratic" powers designed a big lie about weapons of mass destruction, that they cant up till now find any trace off, and invaded the country. All what they were after was the oil. Americans, what would you feel if there exists a country more powerful than the US and it decides to bomb New York and Washington, wont you all feel like you yourselves are stabbed? This is what Mr. Al Sahhaf was feeling!! I salute him a true honorable and truely hope he is safe, and yes, wish he would become the future president of his country.

you are right Nada , But you are talking to ignorants !!

I lOVE SAHAF and his policy!!!!!!!!

When it comes to politics, I wonder why almost all politicians tend to turn tyrants..., this has been the case since the dawn of creation, and it will remain to be so till the end of life. Yet one thing lies between tyranny and democracy, between oppression and freedom, between life and death, it is this mixture between good and evil. This applies to any politician, specifically, in my example to the former Iraqi Minister “ Mohamed Saeed El Sahaf’s”. His very strong charisma and attractiveness makes him a very distinguished man and in my opinion forgives any cruelty that might have occurred. I love him so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

god save iraq

Mr. El Sahaf,

I hope you can read this …

We miss you a lot, please come back… , regardless what you said was true or false, we still love YOU!!!

If I was an Iraqi, I would nominate “El Sahaf” as leader of my country!!!!!

Your presence on the Satellite screens was a fancied longing rescue to many Arabs… Though you did lie to us…. yet we still love you, we forgive you …..whatever you said, where are you gone!!!!! PLEASE COME BACK….

An Egyptian Citizen

One of my principles of life, especially under the current global trends, is that “I would rather die in dignity than live in disgrace”. We loved you a lot and we hope you did not escape as they say!!! Please come back and we will stand by your side…. If no body will, I SHALL!!!!!!

I fell in love at first sight with Sahhaf. Haven't met such a charismatic man in my life before. If only God would grant me a wish that is to be with Sahhaf now and forever.

He sure said a lot of funny lines, but the funniest was when a journalist asked him:
"What are your comments about the Australian soldiers that are fighting along side the coalition forces?" and he replied:
"Who are the Australians. We will slap their head with slippers (naeel in Arabic)"
When I heard this, I never laughed like it never before in my life. If a man makes me laugh like this, I would love him even if he was the devil himself, if not a brutal man of the regime.

Al Sahaf is the only one in this war armed with the MOABs "Mother Of All Balls"! This guy showed the world what one last stand means. I wish he is safe somewhere.

Guys...Suffering the impact of living without our dear beloved M. Sahaf can prove devastating....

So....With you in mind, we will be opening group therapy centers worldwide!

See you there!

P.S. For those suffering more acute symptoms, I highly recommend personal therapy (Also, an option available).

MR SAHAF PLEASE TAKE YOUR INFORMATION TO SADDAM AND LET HIM DECIDE POISON,SURRENDER OR MARTYDOM...

I truly miss al-Sahaf. If the coalition does him any harm, I would gladly become a suicide bomber to save his ass.

MO FOR PREZ!!!

please find this man......withdrawal symptons big time

These are some of the most pathetic words I have ever read. Some of you praise a man for standing in a position of authority and lying to his citizens and call it bravery. Wake up! If his people would have believed him...they would have trusted and walked the streets as they were being attacked and caused themselves to get killed because of lies that he spoke to them.
Bravery is not about lying...its not about standing up against someone behind the security of someone else. Its about stepping up to what is wrong and facing it without a regard for your own life. This little man did nothing of the sort. He ran...he will keep running...and he will die as a liar...not a brave man.
I hope he drowns to death in his lies...I hope the Iraqi people will bring about a progressive country from all of this. Your stupid remarks are not going to help them. The more I read by some of you...the more I realize how stupid you are. Get an education...become informed...and stop spreading your stupidity!

I am writing in responce to those calling Mr AlSahhaf a liar. Please apply what you are preaching to yourself. You yourself should get an education, get informed, and then call the right liars and "small men" names. This new law adopted by the current "coalition" forces is nothing but the law of the jungle. One day, when you are powerless, and someone more powerful than you decides to take your property by force just because they fancy it and are powerful enough to do so, then you will understand what Mr AlSahhaf's ordeal is. Then you will be called a liar and a small man. How shameful, how unethical.

Did anyone see the two Iraqi's after the statue fell carrying a poster telling the 'Human Shields to go Home'.
The Pulse eating Peacenik arseholes who went off on a jolly to Bagdad just so they could pontificate to their herbal tea drinking supporters that they had 'done their bit for the people of Iraq' actually did more damage with their Anti American politically correct crap, than Comical Ali ever could, but are not in the least bit funny, whereas Ali is hilarious.
Those other humourless clowns who lead France , Russia and Germany and who are now waiting to stick their dirty little fingers into the Iraq pie, seeing as the fighting is nearly over, well they couldn't even be a warm up act for Ali.

Catch Ali , Slap his wrists then give him a regular spot on The Graham Norton show.

Let me guess CORY, you like herbal tea and eat pulses, especially lentils.

One must concede that Al-Sahaf were not far from truth when he called Bush "The insane little dwarf Bush" or when he said "I speak better English than this villain Bush." (hey, even my cat do !!!) and this is better "Bush is a very stupid man. The American people are not stupid, they are very clever. I can't understand how such clever people came to elect such a stupid president." (maybe bro Jeb can answer this) and my favorite "Those [Bush & Rumsfeld] only deserve to be hit with shoes." (yesssss)

Other people dont escape Mr. Sahaf ire:

"Who is this dog Franks in Qatar?"

"A crook and the most despicable creature"
On Donald Rumsfeld

"I think the British nation has never been faced with a tragedy like this fellow [Blair]"

"W. Bush, this man is a war criminal, and we will see that he is brought to trial"

"The leader of the international criminal gang of bastards."
More on Bush

"We're going to drag the drunken junkie nose of Bush through Iraq's desert, him and his follower dog Blair...There are 26 million Saddams in Iraq"

An American reporter, picking his way through the bombed streets of Baghdad, stumbled across the Iraqi Minister of Information, Saeed al-Sahaf, who was finishing off a cheeseburger in a deli.

Reporter: Well, hello, Mr. al-Sahaf.

Al-Sahaf: Hello, imperialistic infidel dog.

Reporter: Looks like quite a cheeseburger you have there.

The Iraqi Minister of Information quickly ate the last of his meal.

Al-Sahaf: You evil American snake. Your ignorance will lead you to a horrible, screaming death in the sand. That was not a cheeseburger.

Reporter: It wasn't?

Al-Sahaf: No, fool, it was not. There are no cheeseburgers in Baghdad.

Reporter: All right then. Sir, I was wondering if I could ask you what you plan to do after the Americans finish taking over Baghdad.

Al-Sahaf: There are no Americans in Baghdad. It is an illusion conjured up by the Great Satan. The Americans are not even 100 miles from here. They are all committing suicide in the desert, to escape the shame and embarrassment of having been duped by their tyrannical cowboy leaders into believing that they were worthy of even standing in shock and awe before the gates of our mighty city, let alone attempting a cowardly approach with their tanks, which we repelled. All of their tanks have been destroyed.

The ground shook, and an American M-1 Abrams tank thundered past the front door of the deli, pausing briefly to fire off a shell.

Al-Sahaf: That was an Iraqi tank.

Reporter: But it had an American flag on it.

Al-Sahaf: There was no American flag on that tank.

Reporter: I saw it right on the side, right under the spray-painted sign that said "Kiss This, Saddam."

Al-Sahaf: That was the noble Iraqi soldier's message of love to his president.

Reporter: In English?

Al-Sahaf: It was in Arabic.

Reporter: But I read it in English.

Al-Sahaf: You are a true fool if you believe that an Iraqi soldier would write a message to his president in English.

Reporter: But...

Al-Sahaf: It is all lies upon
