The Al-Sahaf Fan Club

Even Bush is a fan of the Iraqi Minister of Information, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf

George Bush revealed his admiration for the former Iraqi Minister of Information's daily media performance during the war.

In an interview last Thursday on NBC with Tom Brokaw, President Bush said:

""He's my man, he was great..... Somebody accused us of hiring him and putting him there..... He was a classic. I did watch some of his clips. I get a lot of things secondhand, but in the case of the statue or Sahaf, somebody would say, he's getting ready to speak and I'd pop out of a meeting or turn and watch the TV."

Al-ahram, the Egyptian weekly carried an article "Al Sahaf's Legacy" analysing the reasons for the popularity of Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf
There is a worldwide following on the internet of Sahaf. A Web site We Love The Iraqi Information Minister drew as many as 4,000 requests a second for the page at one stage, so much so it was forced offline temporarily.

Sahaf became a cult figure on television with his daily briefings. He was known for colourful language condemning the Coalition Forces and his denials while the rest of the world saw what was actually happening.


The website was so popular around the world, that its server had to be upgraded to meet traffic demands. The website management has started selling Alsahaf T-shirts, mugs, mousepads, barbecue aprons, with different Alsahaf's famous quotations.

According to the website management, "...this site is a labor of love (or something close enough to that) and that proceeds of sales go to paying for server space and bandwidth to keep us up. A portion of anything left over will be donated to the Red Cross / Red Crescent"





Some of his famous quotes about Bush, Blair and others:

"I speak better English than this villain Bush"

"These cowards have no morals. They have no shame about lying"

"That bastard the American Minister of Defense Rumsfeld, and I won't say shamelessly, because they don't know what shame means. These are criminals. The whole word can hear the warning sirens. This criminal sitting in the White House is a pathetic criminal and his Defense Minister deserves to be beaten. These criminals lie to the world because they are criminals by nature and conditioning. They consider this a military site! Shame on you! You will forever be shamed! You have ruined the reputation of the American people in the most terrible way! Shame on you! And we will destroy you!"

"We will slaughter them, Bush Jr. and his international gang of bastards!"

"W. Bush, this man is a war criminal, and we will see"

"I think the British nation has never been faced with a tragedy like this fellow [Blair]."

"We're going to drag the drunken junkie nose of Bush through Iraq's desert, him and his follower dog Blair...There are 26 million Saddams in Iraq"

"When we were making the law, when we were writing the literature and the mathematics the grandfathers of Blair and little Bush were scratching around in caves"

About Bush: "the leader of the international criminal gang of bastards."

"the insane little dwarf Bush"

"The midget Bush and that Rumsfield deserve only to be beaten with shoes by freedom loving people everywhere."

"Rumsfeld, he needs to be hit on the head"

"Bush is a very stupid man. The American people are not stupid, they are very clever. I can't understand how such clever people came to elect such a stupid president."

"Who is this dog Franks in Qatar?"

"Bush doesn't even know if Spain is a republic or a kingdom, how can they follow this man?"

"Bush, Blair and Rumsfeld. They are the funny trio"

Bush "knows that he is standing in quicksand when it comes to his baseless talk on Iraq"

"This criminal (Bush) in the White House is a stupid criminal"

On U.S. General Richard Myers: "He must be crazy" His reports are "basic propaganda".

Rumsfeld is a "crook" and "the most despicable creature."

Rumsfeld is "the worst kind of bastard"

And of course....
