[He is living a life of perfect freedom!](http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,90355,00.html) Soon, under the inspired leadership of our Glorious Liberator, we will sweep the infidel scum from our land! Praise Allah!

[Do not believe the lies of the inferior scum who defile our glorious country!](http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/) Soon they will be swept into catastrophic defeat! We will kill their men! We will enslave their children! We will rape their pets!

Iraq will rise again (not that it ever fell - this is a lie of the Western media)!

Regards,  
Shodan

Baghdad Bob’s timing is lousy. Bush has already named Ari Fleischer’s replacement.

He was obviously a fake from the beginning. Note the lack of moustache.

Which is terrible? That the faithless enemy dogs have fasely reported his supposed capture, or that he is actually still at liberty, and the Americans beg for mercy as he and his brethren crush them under the mighty boot of riteousness?
