|  "OT:There are no American infidels in Baghdad!"
, posted Fri 11 Apr 10:14
I know this is waay OT from the focus of the MMC, but I wanted to share this with you guys (and occasionl girls).
The Gulf War II: Clone of the Attack has provided me with endless hours of fun and laughter - thanks in part to one man.
A man who has become a legend. The Iraqi Info Minister, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf.
I remember the first time I really paid attention to him. It was after an air raid in Bagdhad, and Shafaf has this to say about the then-far-away forces of the coalition:
"We will slap those American gangsters on the face and when they retreat, we will kick them in the backside."
Regarding the battle for Saddam International Airport:
"Their casualties and bodies are many. Their equipment and vehicles, several were destroyed," he said. "They are still trying to bomb with artillery and [rocket-propelled grenades] to hit the Republican Guard who are controlling Saddam International Airport."
And near the end of the Saddam regieme:
"There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!"
His final on-air appearance was a few days ago, speaking to reporters:
"You are scared? Don't be scared. Bagdhad is safe. I will protect you."
But now, the war's at good as over, and Safaf is nowhere to be found.
To immortalize his legacy, though, websites such as
http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/
have been set up to record his quotes for posterity.
Me, I hope Safaf survives the war. He might be chummy with Saddam, but actually goes against Saddam mad son Uday. He might not be that bad a guy afterall.
Besides, he's a laugh riot.

we're just making light of the situation, like the perverted old uncle making bad jokes at a funeral. just trying to find something to laugh at. you gotta keep laughing at times like these
on a personal note, i'm almost always for (sensible) war. (hehe, oxymoron. "sensible war.") it tips hands, it gets things done. anyone can argue all they want against this. however, don't expect too much of a fight. after i'm done typing this message, i'll be dropping the issue. anyways, even i, a pro-war, hot-blooded American, think that this war was a waste. a waste of human lives, a waste of money, a waste of everyone's time -- everything. all i can say now is at least gas prices will lower. (bad joke, yes. again, remember the perverted uncle!)
