Well...no matter how you all feel about this war, you gotta admit this guy is a riot! I often wonder what he's been "smoking" :-)!! Can't wait for his website to be up and running again.

Very bizarre! And what is the obsession with attacking with shoes?

Kirk...this guy has been giving the Iraqi people reports about the war that totally contradict what's really going on. For example, when the troops took over the airport, he was telling the people that "the infidels had been driven out and were on the run." There's a website set up just for him. It's called WeLovetheIraqiForeignMinister.com. But it's been down for the past few days 'cause it's so popular!! No one knows where this guy is now.

That's some funny stuff all right.

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

"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."

"We are not afraid of the Americans. Allah has condemned them. They are stupid. They are stupid" (dramatic pause) "and they are condemned." (actually that sounds eerily similar to our president's speaking style).

Thanks Marcia.

Joy, I heard that hitting someone with a shoe is considered an extreme insult because "normally" only animals and slaves were treated that way. It's pretty much the worst insult you can give to someone in that culture.

My favorite is "we have them surrounded in their tanks" :-)!!

Yeah, Sherri, I guess I had heard that sometime in the deep dim past . . . it's really rather hilarious from our point of view, since it isn't considered a huge insult here! Whaddya do when you give someone the grossest insult you can imagine and they laugh? Or worse yet just stare at you, perplexed!
