This is like a scene from a satirical novel isn't it?
dlowan- If the whole thing weren't so tragic, it would be hilarious.
I saw a story where an Iraqi was in Baghdad on the last day that the Minister of Information was at his post. The Iraqi saw the Coalition overrunning the city, while the Minister still insisted that Saddam's forces were winning the war.
The Iraqi burst into tears. He said, "Do you mean that we have been lied to for the last thirty years?" I felt such pity for that poor man.
Mohammed Saeed-al-Sahaf has obviously been corrupted by the Decadent Western Infidels. He is an Instant Celebrity, well known for being well known.
He is providing a bit of light-hearted amusement--and the Iraq's need some light-hearted amusement. He might even pass into legend like the Caliph of "The Arabian Knights"
"If Saeed says so, it must not be true."
By the by, have you noticed how happily the Iraqi's are blaming the American troops for shortages, looting and civil unrest? They are starting to germinate the seeds of grass roots democracy.
