I know this war is serious business, but Comical Ali is the most amusing person to ever gain center stage on the theater of history. I can't think of anyone else in history who had the equivalent chutzpah to report so optimistically on events that were obviously so contrary to his interpretation.

It will be interesting to know his eventual status.

I was reading about him. Apparently he was a nightmare of a boss. He was prone to fits of rage and would frequently slap his workers.

Still a cool guy though. :)

He's faking it!  Pretty soon we're going to hear reports of him kickin' back catchin' some rays at Playa Mengela Brazil.
