For all of those who doesn't watch news:
One of the great tragedies of this war is the disappearance of Iraqi Information Minister Mohammad Said al-Sahhaf. So I, like many others, have compiled of a list of my favorite statements from the man who cannot tell a lie.

"The invasion is a lie."

"As our leader Saddam Hussein said, God is grilling their stomachs in hell. I think we will finish them soon."

"The infidels are committing suicide by the hundreds on the gates of Baghdad."

"It is difficult for the US forces that are surrounded in Saddam airport to come out alive. Now the entire direction is in our favor and we will annihilate what is left of the forces that attacked the airport."

"We are going to tackle them and going to destroy them. We will not surrender. The US will surrender or we will burn their tanks."

"Baghdad is bracing to pummel the invaders."

"The military top brass of the United States and its allies have to resort to brazen lies to conceal the failure."

On April 5, CNN and Al Jazeera aired footage shot by an Associated Press cameraman that showed U.S. troops defeating a Republican Guard unit just outside Baghdad. Asked about it, al-Sahhaf said, "These images are not the suburbs of Baghdad.… From what I glimpsed, these gardens with rows of palm trees on the side, which you saw in the images, are located in the south of Abu Ghreib, where we have surrounded the Americans and British."

On April 6, after coalition forces seized Baghdad's Saddam Airport, renamed it Baghdad International Airport, started flying planes in, and ventured into Baghdad itself, the Miami Herald quoted al-Sahhaf saying, "We butchered the force present at the airport."

On April 7, after U.S. troops penetrated central Baghdad and stormed Saddam's Republican Palace, the Washington Post quoted al-Sahhaf saying, "There is no presence of the American columns in the city of Baghdad at all. We besieged them and we killed most of them."

"The soldiers of Saddam Hussein have given them a lesson they will never forget. Actually. In fact. In this meeting I will not mention the number of the people killed from their troops, or what has been destroyed."

"The battle is still going on, and I can say, and you can actually mark it for me, you can record it for me, they are beginning to commit suicide on the walls of Baghdad, and we will in fact encourage them to commit more suicides."

"We have given them, in fact, death and poison, the bitterness, and hope God's willing he will give you the information, I will give you the information. Those mercenaries, God's, I swear by my God, those who are staying in Washington, they have sent their troops to be burned."

"Exactly as President Saddam said, God will burn their bellies in hell. This is an Arabic еxprеssiоn, in fact, because the killing they have seen, they witnessed yesterday, will give a lesson to those mercenaries and the criminals at war who are staying in Washington now. They are… they've started to in fact, suicide."

"They are lying every day. They are lying always, and mainly they are lying to their public opinion. What they say about a breakthrough is completely an illusion."

"The authority of the civil defense issued a warning to the civilian population not to pick up any of those pencils because they are booby traps."

"I am not talking about the American people and the British people. I am talking about those mercenaries. They have started throwing those pencils, but they are not pencils, they are booby traps to kill the children."

"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."
