Frases de Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf

Mohamed Said al-Sahaf , fue un político y diplomático de Irak durante el régimen de Sadam Husein. Perteneciente al Partido Baaz, desempeñó importantes cargos de diplomático, así como los cargos de Ministro de Exteriores entre 1992-2001 y de Ministro de Información desde 2001 a 2003. Se hizo mundialmente conocido por ser el portavoz oficial del régimen durante la Guerra de Irak, en 2003. Su preocupación por la censura, y sus discursos de propaganda excéntricos y surrealistas durante la guerra, causó que a nivel internacional se le apodase satíricamente como Alí el Cómico,[1]​ o Baghdad Bob, en Estados Unidos.
