Everyone remember Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, the "Iraqi Information Minster" whose comments about us not being in Baghdad and getting beaten back got funnier and funnier as the war went on?

Well, now there's a website dedicated to his lunacy, er, wisdom. It's a riot, really. It contains such great quotes as:

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

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

"Our initial assessment is that they will all die"

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

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

"The United Nations....[is] a place for prostitution under the feet of Americans."

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

About Bush and Rumsfeld: "Those only deserve to be hit with shoes."

This one I agree with. ;)

Hey, in some countries it's a great insult to be hit with one's shoe.

I have a new found respect for people that call in for tech support, knowing that no one could be as stupid as this individual.

And look who's already reported on it.

"Writer and former Greenpeace activist Kieran Mulvaney, a Briton living in Alaska, said he and friends got the idea for the site while watching cable news coverage of the three-week-old war.

"I mentioned to one of my friends that the best part is watching this guy," Mulvaney told Reuters. "He is so brazen that I could almost admire him."

Mulvaney and his friends designed, built and put up the site in three days. Within hours of going live on the Internet, the site "has exploded," Mulvaney said. The same day, U.S. troops marched into Baghdad and al-Sahaf disappeared, or in the view of his new Web site, went on "administrative leave."

"I hope he is alive somewhere so he knows how famous he has become," Mulvaney said. "We've had all kinds of e-mail from literally all over the world. We even had a few e-mails from within the Pentagon saying, 'We really like this guy and we miss him.'"
