ROY, MY VOTE FOR NEW XYBERNAUT IR IS BAGHDAD BOB. BOB WOULD FIT RIGHT IN WITH XYBERNAUTS BUSINESS PLAN AND I UNDERSTAND HE IS LOOKING FOR NEW WORK.

=============================================
HEREIN ‘LIES' THE TALE OF BAGHDAD BOB
By MICHAEL STARR and BRIDGET HARRISON

April 9, 2003 -- They call it the "Al-Sahhaf show."
As Saddam Hussein's regime crumbles, the Iraqi minister of information is fighting a one-man war of words.
And the deeper U.S. troops penetrate into the heart of Iraq, the wilder Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf's claims have become.
"They will be burnt. We are going to tackle them," was Al-Sahhaf's latest offering yesterday - though he was forced to give his press conference on the street because his office in the Ministry of Information has been destroyed.

When U.S. troops wandered through Saddam's presidential complex just a few paces from the site of his press briefing Monday, Al-Sahhaf said: "There is no presence of American infidels in the city of Baghdad" - a shocking statement that blithely ignored the black clouds of smoke wafting over the capital.
And when the Palestine Hotel came under U.S. tank fire yesterday, forcing even Al-Sahhaf to admit that coalition forces were in the capital (which he flatly denied the day before) - he bizarrely insisted it was all part of Iraq's grand war plan.
"We blocked them inside the city. Their rear is blocked," he said with his characteristic smile.
But then the man Arab commentators have dubbed the "Iraqi Goebbels," after Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's master propagandist - is no stranger to disinformation or to Iraq's bloody politics.
Originally an English teacher, Al-Sahhaf got his start with the Iraqi regime in 1963 by turning over his own brother-in-law to Saddam. Al-Sahhaf's brother-in-law was an opponent of Saddam's Ba'ath Party and was murdered by Saddam's thugs after Al-Sahhaf's tip. That put Al-Sahhaf in Saddam's good graces.
Later, Al-Sahhaf took charge of securing the radio and television stations for the Ba'ath party, where he kicked TV and radio employees in fits of temper.
The same temper has lashed out at some journalists in the weeks.
"What? Don't ask stupid questions," he bellowed recently at reporters.
Or this when U.S. soldiers were marching into Saddam Airport (now renamed Baghdad International Airport):
"We have retaken the airport! There are no Americans there! The film they broadcast to you is a lie! I will take you there and show you . . . in one hour!" (he never did).
Experts say Al-Sahhaf - now dubbed "Baghdad Bob" - has made a career out of lying.
He was foreign minister from 1993 to 2001, during which time he frequently criticized the U.N. and American activities after the 1991 Gulf War.
Two years ago he transferred to the information ministry after falling out with Saddam's son Uday.
"He is a man who has spent his entire career criticizing America and telling his people everything is fine," Dr. Daniel McIntosh, of the Department of Government at Slippery Rock University, Pennsylvania.
And even if his statements over the past two weeks have become increasingly ludicrous, Al-Sahhaf is rapidly becoming a TV star.
Al-Sahhaf has introduced insults virtually unknown to the Arab public. His use of "uluj," an obscure and insulting term for "infidel," sent viewers leafing through their dictionaries.
€McIntosh speculated Al-Sahhaf might give up, depending on what kind of offer he gets.
"This is his one great moment on the world stage and at the moment being so public is his one way of staying alive," McIntosh said.

Roy, what is the Iraqi Information Minister became IR for Xybernaut? This is what you could expect. I think he could do a much better job that Dodi, Bergman or Christina have in the past

"There are no American infidels in Xybernaut. Never!"

"My feelings about shorts- as usual - we will slaughter them all"

"Our initial assessment is that all shorts will all die"

"I blame Al-Jazeera shortsellers - they are marketing for the Americans!"

"God will roast the shorts stomachs in hell at the hands of Xybernaut."

"surrender shortsellers or be burned in their banks."

"No I am not scared and neither should you be!"

"Shorts not even [within] 100 miles [of Xybernaut]. They are not in any
place. They hold no place in Xybernaut. This is an illusion ... they are
trying to sell to the others an illusion."

"Faltering forces of shortsellers cannot just enter a Xybernaut of 126 million shares and lay besiege to them! They are the ones who will find themselves under siege. Therefore, in reality whatever this miserable DAN7 has been saying, he was talking about his own forces. Now even the American command is under siege."

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

"We made the shorts drink poison last night and Ed Newman's soldiers and his great forces gave the American Shortsellers a lesson which will not be forgotten by history. Truly."

"On this occasion, I am not going to mention the number of the infidels who were killed shortselling and the number of destroyed brokerage accounts. The operation continues"

"I can say, and I am responsible for what I am saying, that the shortsellers have
started to commit suicide under the walls of Baghdad. We
will encourage them to commit more suicides quickly."

"Their shirtselling infidels are committing suicide by the hundreds on the gates of Xybernaut. Be assured, Xybernaut is safe, protected."

"NO", snapped Mr al-Sahaf, "We have retaken the float. There are NO
Americans Shortsellers there. I will take you there and show you. IN ONE HOUR!"

"We defeated the Shortseller 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 Shortsellers are relying on what I called yesterday a desperate and stupid method."

"The Shortsellers will be burnt. We are going to tackle them"

"We blocked them inside the city. Their rear is blocked"

"Desperate American Shortsellers"

"Today we slaughtered the shortsellers in the airport. They are out of Xybernaut International Airport. The force that was in the airport, this force was destroyed."

"The Shortsellers casualties and bodies are many."

[On Shortseller surrenders] "Those are not Xybernaut Message Board soldiers at all. Where did they bring them from?"

"Just look carefully, I only want you to look carefully. Do not repeat the lies of liars. Do not become like them. Once again, I blame DAN7 before it ascertains what takes place. Please, make sure of what you say and do not play such a role."

"Search for the truth. I tell you things and I always ask you to verify what I say. I told you yesterday that there was an attack and a retreat at Xybernautsw's airport."

"You can go and visit those places. Nothing there, nothing at all. There are Xybernaut Shortseller checkpoints. Evrything is okay."

"This boa, the ShortsellerAmerican columns, are being besieged between Yahoo and other message boards north, west, south and west ....Now even the American shortsellers command is under siege. We are hitting it from the north, east, south and west. We chase them here and they chase us there."

"By God, I think this is rather very unlikely. This is merely a prattle. The fact is that as soon as they reach Yahoo gates, we will besiege them and slaughter them....Wherever they go they will find themselves encircled."

"Listen, this explosion does not frighten us any langer. The shortsellers cruise missiles do not frighten anyone. We are catchign them like fish in a river. I mean here that over the past two days we managed to shoot down 196 missiles before they hit their bid target."

"Truthseeker...is accusing us of executing DAN7. We want to tell him that we have not executed anybody. They are either killed in battle, most of them get killed because they are cowards anyway, the rest they just get captured."

"They fled. The American shortseller louts fled. Indeed, concerning the fighting waged by the heroes of the arab Socialist Baath Offshore Financing Party yesterday, one amazing thing really is the cowardice of the American Shortseller soldiers. we had not anticipated this."

"the Shortseller louts of colonialism."

"The forces of Shortselling American colonialism began to drop containers that produce a sound explosion, a very huge sound. I remind you that they said that their strategy is based on shock and awe. Those failed ones manufactured a type of container that has an explosive substance, which they drop. They cause a very huge explosion in terms of sound, as if the universe was shaken. After a while, you go out and you don't find anything. You find some nails, screws, pieces of metal, but the important thing here is the sound. Those failed ones think that through the huge sound explosion, people would be shocked and consequently would collapse and be defeated. What happened? The contrary. The fighters..., the masses..., and the heroic sons of the Xybernaut tribes discovered this game. They will turn it against the American Shortseller louts so as to shock them. Wait for surprises, God willing, to see how the US game will fail."

"The shock has backfired on them. They are shocked because of what they have seen. No one received them with roses. They were received with bombs, shoes and bullets. Now, the game has been exposed. Awe will backfire on them. This is the boa snake. We will extend it further and cut it the appropriate way."

"It has been rumored that we have fired Xybernaut scud missiles into Bloomberg. I am here now to tell you, we do not have any Xybernaut scud missiles and I don't know why they were fired into Bloomberg."

"As for the mercenaries who advanced to the perimeters of Xybernaut International Airport, I would like to remind you of something. I will mention something that will make the picture clear for you and help you to understand what took place at Xybernaut International Airport. Most of you probably saw the American Shortseller movie "Wag the Dog". I hope you remember it. Some of their acts that took place at dawn yesterday and today are similar to what happened in "Wag the Dog". If we succeed in keeping them isolated on that island, and we are determined to do so, we might let them taste a second mini Dien Bien Phu tonight. The European journalists remember it well. Our estimates are that none of them will come out alive unless they surrender to us quickly. They are completely surrounded now. This morning, the number of armoured personnel carriers that were destroyed, along with their occupants, is eight. The number of the tanks destroyed is 11."

"Tonight, we will do something unconventional against them. This means: not by the military. We will do something that I believe will become a pretty example for those mercenaries. I would not be giving out a secret when I say that action in the dark against such mercenaries is effective, not through the action of armies. I say that dropping down those mercenaries in a surprise fashion at Xybernaut Airport without accurate calculations is largely meant for showing things. It's a showy operation. It is a kind of surprise muscle flexing to the world to show it that the shock and awe operation is indeed successful. May they be accursed. Through this operation [shock and awe], they sent a number of their villains and mercenaries to be butchered. Again, and according to my early estimates, unless the remaining part of their soldiers surrender, the chance for their survival is very slim. The surprising thing is that after they threw their soldiers into a place where they are not aware of the real results, the villainous Shortselling Americans, like DAN7 and the others, sat in Europe to discuss how to divide Xybernaut as spoils after the war [laughing]. This means what's post-war. The post-war [XYBR] will be the same current Xybernaut under the leadership of President Edward Nweman."

About DAN7 and TRUTHSEEKER: "Those only deserve to be hit with shoes."
