'Comical Ali' Leaves Baghdad, Might Not Return
'Comical Ali' Leaves Baghdad, Might Not Return

Fri July 11, 2003 08:36 AM ET

DUBAI (Reuters) - Former Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, who earned the nickname "Comical Ali" during the U.S.-led war on Iraq, made a sudden appearance in Abu Dhabi on Friday, saying he might not return to his homeland.

"When I leave I always have in my mind that I might not come down this road again, but I hope and pray to God that I can return to Baghdad one day," he said on Abu Dhabi Television.

Sahaf, 63, became an unlikely media star during the war, winning his stripes as a hero to many in the Arab world while Western audiences gasped and then chuckled at his bravado.

1. He was very comical.
If you haven't seen this, go to: welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com.
It has Baghdad Bob turing up in history's greatest battles, saying things like "Pickett's Charge was a huge success", etc. Very funny site.
