Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf

I really miss that guy. No watermelon and not kidding, you know that guy probably could have played that role out in Hollywood or related film arts areas and made some descent dinero. He was almost getting cult status in the USA. I turned from being irritated to amused after watching him for some time. He should have come on out and cut a deal as we were rolling into the capital (too late now though).

I thought of another potential role as well. What if we (the USA) hired him to be our Arab Spokesman for that region? We could have him say that we have no plans to invade Syria or Iran.

Imagine this....

BBC World: "US M1A2s and Bradleys appear to be doing a Thunder Run through Damascus this early morning".

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf (for the coalition): The Coalition is nowhere near Syria. There are no intentions at all to invade a neighboring, friendly, Arab country.

I was thinking about that dude too, wondering if he is aware that he tickles millions of Americans... he's sitting on a gold mine, I bet they would pay him 6 figures to host Saturday Night Live...

He could have had an outstanding career in the US - endorsements - everything.

Not true Raubvogel - there was a press conference the day after that attack, I'm sure.
