Wag the Saddam

Been watching the war on TV this afternoon – CNN (left-center), MSNBC (center-center except when that idiot Savage is on), FoxNews (triumphalist-right) – and the pictures are remarkable, driving with troops down the highway right through the middle of Baghdad, the shit-for-brains Iraqi Dis-Information Minister claiming the footage of Americans galavanting through Baghdad, controling the airport, dominating every venue, is all Hollywood, all fabricated. Whatever floats your boat, numbnuts.

But the best part is the footage from Iraqi TV of “Saddam” mingling with the citizenry, exhorting them on to victory:

State TV showed Saddam chairing a meeting of top military and political advisers, including his two sons, Uday and Qussay, a day after airing footage of the Iraqi leader touring his battered capital as part of a systematic drive to underline he was still in charge.

In a speech read on television on his behalf by Information Minister Mohammad Said al-Sahhaf Saturday, Saddam told Iraqis Baghdad was still theirs to rescue. [AFP]

Now I know that baby-raper is dead: the clown playing Saddam in the video looks less like Saddam than my 3 year-old daughter. This will be over very shortly.
