Baghdad Bob's got a job offer!

[link|http://www.arabnews.com/Article.asp?ID=25706|Look who's hiring him]

Excerpt:

DAMMAM, 30 April 2003 \ufffd The Al-Arabiya satellite channel has confirmed that it has offered employment to the former Iraqi Minister of Information Mohammed Saeed Al-Sahaf. Ali Al-Hudaithi, director general of Al-Arabiya, told Arab news that Al-Sahaf would be free to work for the channel whenever he wanted and that the channel would facilitate whatever he needed, including a residence permit. The idea is that he could choose between presenting special programs or being a political analyst or both, Al-Hudaithi added.

In explaining the offer, the director said that Al-Sahaf had been part of the former Iraqi government and that because of that, he knew many things of interest to viewers. He also has wide knowledge and experience that could help in explaining Iraq\ufffds history and discussing the country\ufffds future.

Al-Hudaithi denied that the channel was looking for publicity. \ufffdThe channel chose him because he has things to say about Iraq and he is one of the few Iraqi officials not wanted by the Americans; he is not on the list of 55 wanted Iraqis.\ufffd

I say:

I saw elsewhere that he tried to surrender to coalition forces and got turned down.

Victory was the answer - to a great many problems. When the facts speak for themselves, only a fool insists on having a debate. The future is leaving the station, the US is at the throttle, and the Left isn't on board. [link\|http://www.angelfire.com/ca3/marlowe/index.html\|http://www.angelfire...arlowe/index.html]
