PERSON OF THE YEAR AWARD 2003
Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, Iraqi Minister of Information until c. April 2003. A.K.A Comical Ali.
A ridiculous man for a ridiculous war in ridiculous times on a ridiculous planet.
Here are some of the gems he unleashed for us:
“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 triple guarantee you, there are no American soldiers in Baghdad.”
“Our estimates are that none of them will come out alive unless they surrender to us quickly.”
“Their infidels are committing suicide by the hundreds on the gates of Baghdad. Be assured, Baghdad is safe, protected.”
“We defeated them yesterday. God willing, I will provide you with more information. I swear by God, I swear by God, those who are staying in Washington and London have thrown these mercenaries in a crematorium.”
“Please, please! The Americans are relying on what I called yesterday a desperate and stupid method.”
Finally as American tanks were rolling into Baghdad behind him:
“We are in control! We are in control! ”

I’m sorry, but the award this year has to go to Jonathan Moyo, Robert Mugabe’s Information Minister. He’s Comical Ali, cubed. Runner-up must go to Daniel Chea, Charles Taylor’s Defense Minister. These guys get the award in my book because their lunacy lasted the whole year. Moyo may get the award named after him soon.
