Baghdad Bob's best moments, caught on the internet!

macdaddy · 11 Apr 2003, 06:09 (Ref:565848)

Won't link for me.

bcobbus · 11 Apr 2003, 06:28 (Ref:565861)

Ya, wont link for me either.

Ah, Baghdad Bob, what shall come of him? If it was not for the fact that what he said affected people's lives, it would be very very funny ehat he had to say. I bet he could tell some real whoppers when he has a few too many!

**Aysedasi** · 11 Apr 2003, 07:18 (Ref:565909)

The guy is on another planet.

I guess Sadam will be joining him there soon.....

pirenzo · 11 Apr 2003, 08:49 (Ref:565977)

ithink he's hillarious, and nothing to do with the government at all. He has no power whatsoever, and yet it would appear he was running the country for a few days there at least!

mariov · 11 Apr 2003, 16:51 (Ref:566509)

Drop a note when you get it set up again.....I tought it was fitting that they Coalition printed a deck of card with the 50 plus Iraqe leaders that are on the run...and that "Bob" was printed on the joker card...

The miss information they fed the Iraqian people....caused a lot of loss of life....no wonder he fled durring the night....wonder in witch bunker or tunnel he is hidding in....

I am Tifosi · 11 Apr 2003, 17:54 (Ref:566553)

oh I'm hurting....

I can't breath... GASP!

... oh gawd I think I pulled a muscle

That one in your head?

Armco Bender · 11 Apr 2003, 19:36 (Ref:566625)

Sadly this buffoon is the Joseph Goebbels of Iraq.Looks like he will fry in a bunker if the Yanks find where he is or swing from a tree if the locals get him first.He must have a lot of blood on his hands.

Maxmil · 11 Apr 2003, 19:53 (Ref:566635)

The T shirt is priceless, but this one is my favorite: "It has been rumored that we have fired scud missiles into Kuwait. I am here now to tell you, we do not have any scud missiles and I don't know why they were fired into Kuwait."

Too many love Iraqi information minister

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - People around the world have taken a unique liking to the public relations stylings of former Iraqi information minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf. Too many people, apparently.

A Web site that sprang up on Thursday called Welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com was quickly forced offline as a rush of global interest drew as many as 4,000 requests a second for the page.

With his trademark beret and sly smile, Sahaf became a cult figure on television with his daily briefings, appearing from behind a sea of microphones as he condemned the American "infidels" and often flatly denied what viewers around the world saw unfolding on their TV screens.

Kieran Mulvaney, a writer based in Alaska who set up the Web site, told Reuters on Friday that he has been inundated with requests for interviews from the likes of CNN and the BBC.

Mulvaney, who is writing a book on global warming, said he has also had unsolicited requests to sponsor the Web pages that started as a joke for he and his friends.

He said the new version of the site, due to debut on Saturday, will make money from the sale of trinkets like T-shirts and aprons.

In keeping with the tongue-in-cheek theme of the site, the aprons will bear one of the now-disappeared Sahaf's most popular catch phrases: "God will roast their stomachs in hell."

Well, I sure miss the guy.
"There are no Americans in Iraq, they are not anywhere" and this was while bombs were going off all around him, and tanks were within 50 km of Baghdad.

"We have the Americans surrounded, and we will drive them out".

Personally, I reckon he is a CIA plant.

KPC · 12 Apr 2003, 09:01 (Ref:567058)

Anyone see the photo of him as a younger man when his house was looted.... looked like Peter Sellers. We now know what happened to the Pink Panther...... or we did.

Sherman · 12 Apr 2003, 10:31 (Ref:567119)

Its not just him making funny quotes. I heard this on the News Quiz when bbc inteviewed a British soldier in Basra. They asked him what it was like there.

"Its not great. Theres no beer, no prostitutes and people are shooting at us. <pause> Its a bit like Portsmouth"

Haha!

I am Tifosi · 12 Apr 2003, 15:04 (Ref:567277)

I got a PM saying Baghdad Bob has been banned from Ten-Tenths.

429CJ · 12 Apr 2003, 16:03 (Ref:567305)

The guy is as fun as the European wide New Labor,or modern social democratism, or whatever it is called on diffrent countries.

marcus · 13 Apr 2003, 00:40 (Ref:567758)

I still cant get it to work

marcus · 13 Apr 2003, 10:00 (Ref:567971)

excellent , the site is working again , and what a cracker it is

Reido Rules · 13 Apr 2003, 16:52 (Ref:568257)

He spoke rubbish but soo many watched him, and the Arab world believed him. You can only set a man against his aims, and I believe all he wanted to do was Rally, Iranians, Syrians, Jordanians etc, which was what he did.

If you want good Jokes on this guy- f tn, Freeview channel 20, sky channel sommet. 10.00pm weekends, 9.00pm weeknights, The tonightshow with Jay Leno.

Barry Pomfret · 13 Apr 2003, 17:45 (Ref:568293)

What about that great quote from the British helicoptor pilot when he was fired on by US Marines.He landed the helicoptor on the side of the road, climbed out and strode over to some rather embarrassed looking Marines and shouted at them, " When was the last time you saw a f*****g Iraqi flying a helicoptor?" He then climbed back in, took off and finished his sortie. Priceless!

marcus · 14 Apr 2003, 01:52 (Ref:568668)

LOL

Tedebear · 14 Apr 2003, 17:14 (Ref:569217)

That is fantastic - sitting here in the office by myself laughing at my computer - I'm not sure what's more stupid!!

"We will welcome them with bullets and shoes."

alfasud · 15 Apr 2003, 00:40 (Ref:569627)

The site seems to be back up again.... just love those quotes:

"There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!"

"My feelings - as usual - we will slaughter them all"

"Our initial assessment is that they will all die"

"I blame Al-Jazeera - they are marketing for the Americans!"

"God will roast their stomachs in hell at the hands of Iraqis."

"They're coming to surrender or be burned in their tanks."

"No I am not scared, and neither should you be!"

"Be assured. Baghdad is safe, protected"

"Who are in control, they are not in control of anything - they don't even control themselves!"

"We are not afraid of the Americans. Allah has condemned them. They are stupid. They are stupid" (dramatic pause) "and they are condemned."

"We have destroyed 2 tanks, fighter planes, 2 helicopters and their shovels - We have driven them back."

[now what have shovels got to do with it?]

"I triple guarantee you, there are no American soldiers in Baghdad."

And here's my favourite......

"Lying is forbidden in Iraq. President Saddam Hussein will tolerate nothing but truthfulness as he is a man of great honor and integrity. Everyone is encouraged to speak freely of the truths evidenced in their eyes and hearts."

From MICHAEL LEA
in Amman, Jordan

THE Iraqi information minister dubbed Comical Ali for his outrageous statements has committed suicide, it was claimed last night.

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, who entertained millions with ridiculous claims of Iraqi victories, is said to have hanged himself as US troops stormed into Baghdad last week.

He vanished on April 9 after telling one journalist quizzing him over Coalition gains: “I now inform you that you are too far from reality.”

Two Iranian newspapers yesterday reported al-Sahaf killed himself hours before Baghdad fell.

marcus · 17 Apr 2003, 22:54 (Ref:572607)

awwwwwwwww , if this is true thats terrible news , I hope he didnt go and do that , there was no need for him to do so , I believe he wasnt a target by the coalition anyway , but I guess maybe from his own people perhaps.

if thats the case M.S.S has gone down in history as a legend.
