During the first Gulf War....

[Dude]

..who was that retard iraqi who was on TV denying they were getting attacked while you could pretty much see the tanks surrounding him and obliterating the building he was broadcasting from?

 

[Fingers]

That would be Baghdad Bob, the one and only Comical Ali!

That was at the beginning of the 2nd GW, not first one

Funny, I was just thinking of this guy the other day. Not only would he deny that they were getting attacked, but he would claim that Iraq was winning.

Retarded? He was working in a high-profile position for a regime led by a madman who had a bad habit of shooting followers (and thier families) who had displeased him - and sometimes would shoot someone just to make a point to the rest of the country.

The fact that he survived the war to bounce grandchildren on his knees, without being imprisoned for war crimes by the allies, speaks volumes to me about him.

Comical? Sure. Retarded? No, I don't think so.

I remember him saying we captured some sand in the desert....'Even we don't want that' he said...

 

[BeerRunner]

Are you talking about Tariq Aziz?

I'd forgotten all about that guy......I never expected war to be funny until he kept coming up with that stuff.
