It seems that the (ex-) Iraqi Information Minister is gaining a fan club all of his own - [http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/](http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/) contains some of his greatest quotes, speculation about how he might have commented on some of the great battles of history and even a shop to flog t-shirts and coffee cups.

Priceless!!

> “We are winning!”

A moment’s silence in the prescence of genius (and true optimisim)
