I think those in favor of the war and those opposed can together be grateful at the swiftness of the war.

Iraq's U.N. Ambassador Says 'the Game Is Over'

Wednesday, April 09, 2003

UNITED NATIONS — Iraq's U.N. ambassador said Wednesday "the game is over" and he expressed hope that the Iraqi people will be able to live in peace.

Mohammed Al-Douri's comments to reporters outside his residence were the first admission by an Iraqi official that U.S.-led coalition troops had overwhelmed Iraqi forces.

"My work now is peace," he said. "The game is over and I hope the peace will prevail. I hope the Iraqi people will have a happy life."

Al-Douri said he has had no communications with Iraq for a long time because of the war.

Earlier, the ambassador told Associated Press Television News: "This is a war and there will be a winner and someone who is a loser."

When asked what he thought about the scenes being broadcast from Baghdad, he said, "Well I don't know really, I watch the television like you."

Poor guy ... he's obviously intelligent - yet he has to blather all this senseless bullshit (while planes drop bombs and buildings explode behind him) or face the firing squad.

He's supposed to have become quite the cult figure in the Arab world

My favorite clip on the news was a press conference with the Info Minister released "this past hour" where he said the Saddam Hussein airport was in Iraqi hands. FoxNews then cut to their live embedded reporter, standing in the middle of the airport with the troops.. totally abandoned.

He should come to America and do stand-up comedy. He could be the 2000's version of Yakov Shmirnoff.

"There are no troops in Baghdad!" could be his catchphrase
