Scott McClellan reminds me of Saddam Hussein's Minister of Information, Muhammad Sai'd Al Sahhaf... kind of.


For those who have forgotten or are too young to remember, Al Sahhaf was the most visible Iraqi official during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, until a day before the fall of Baghdad on April 9 of that year, when he vanished. Much of the information given by Al Sahhaf during the war was clearly inaccurate. However, for several weeks, Al Sahhaf enthralled world media with statements such as, "the Iraqi army is sending back the 'Oulouj' (the mercenaries) in body bags ... back to where they had crawled from," and "there are no American infidels in Baghdad," at a time when American tanks were pouring into the Iraqi capital.

A couple of months later, after having been interrogated by the US forces and released, Al Sahhaf re-surfaced in the United Arab Emirates where he reportedly received more than a quarter million dollars for interviews about the last days of the war and the old Iraqi regime he recorded on Abu Dhabi and Al Arabiya channels.

[curious one]

1. He was bad in lying to us. Which means he did not

believe what he was saying. Tony Snow is the master and he should be called Minister of Misinformation not Scott. Tony's book should be interesting.

[Disturbed]

2. Mr. Snowjob was hired by CNN & has not shown up since.

He might not live long enough to write a book.
