Iraqi Information minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf (Sahhaf)
"Reports of my death have been greatly exagerated"

Like many other armchair watchers of the war in Iraq, I found myself "almost" believing Mohammed saeed al-sahaf aka M..S.S the iraq information minister. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf.
His delivery had a maniacal wryness, that many found mesmerizing, the sheer outrageousness of the lies he was telling, must place M.S.S. at the top of the list of the world's greatest porky pie tellers...
A few examples here:
"Lies as art"

"They're coming to surrender or be burned in their tanks."
"I think the British nation has never been faced with a tragedy like this fellow [Blair]."

Britain "is not worth an old shoe"
"We're giving them a real lesson today. Heavy doesn't accurately describe the level of casualties we have inflicted."
"The United Nations....[is] a place for prostitution under the feet of
Americans."
"Today, the tide has turned, we are destroying them. "
"They are sick in their minds. They say they brought 65 tanks into center
of the city. I say to you this talk is not true. This is part of their sick mind."

"We have destroyed 50 tanks today. Thats 5-ohhh tanks" [while holding up his fingers]

"They are superpower of villains. They are superpower of Al Capone."

Americans are "wild donkeys"
"The infidels are committing suicide by the hundreds on the gates of Baghdad... Be assured, Baghdad is safe, protected. Iraqis are heroes."

"As our leader Saddam Hussein said, 'God is grilling their stomachs in hell."

"They tried to bring a small number of tanks and personnel carriers in through al-Durah but they were surrounded and most of their infidels had their throats cut."

"We made them drink poison last night"

"Saddam Hussein's soldiers and his great forces gave the Americans a lesson which will not be forgotten by history. Truly."

"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."

"There are no Iraqis disguising themselves""we have given them a sour taste"

Of US troops: "They are most welcome. We will butcher them."

"We will welcome them with bullets and shoes."

"We are in control. They are in a state of hysteria. Losers, they think that by killing civilians and trying to distort the feelings of the people they will win. I think they will not win, those bastards."

“We have placed them in a quagmire from which they can never emerge except dead”

"Washington has thrown their soldiers on the fire"


"I can assure you that those villains will recognize, will discover in appropriate time in the future how stupid they are and how they are pretending things which have never taken place"

"They will come and we will slap them about the head and then kick them on their backsides when they leave"

About Bush: "the leader of the international criminal gang of bastards."


"We are in control. They are in a state of hysteria. Losers, they think that by killing civilians and trying to distort the feelings of the people they will win. I think they will not win, those bastards."

latest news and media quotes

Self-deluded? Cunning? Or just downright comical? Whatever one's view of Iraqi Information Minister, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, one can't deny his style.

Iraqi information minister

Since Saddam Hussein went to ground, the clean-shaven, bespectacled Minister has become the public face and voice of the Iraqi regime, setting new standards of anti-American vitriol. "Blood-sucking bastards", ignorant imperialists, losers and fools are among his descriptions of the US and UK leaders. Undaunted by Coalition successes, he is apt to flatly deny what viewers around the world can see unfolding on their TV screens.


Holding a press briefing yesterday on the roof of the Information Ministry, he told reporters that Baghdad was safe, and that US troops were "committing suicide" at the gates, despite black smoke billowing behind him, and the sound of fighting echoing around the capital.

Sahaf (63), who once trained to be an English teacher, was Iraq's foreign minister for almost a decade and ambassador to India, Italy and the United Nations.


Considered close to Saddam but not part of the ruling elite, he has been used in the past to deliver some of Iraq's more conciliatory messages, such as an apology late last year to the people of Kuwait for the 1990 invasion of their country. His daily broadcasts from Baghdad - dubbed The al-Sahaf Show - have made him an unlikely media star, and hero to many in the Arab world. However, Faisal Salman, managing editor of the Lebanese newspaper As-Safir, notes viewers "don't exactly pause at what he says as much as they are eager to listen to his funny words".
