Great link.

That man actually really was unbelievable in his propaganda-lies.

Tired of ads?

He was a diplomat in Sweden before his career as truth-bender for Saddam

But USA wasn't very truthful either, so you Americans shouldn't laugh that hard.
You claimed control over cities many days before they were actually liberated...

the parallels between civ and 'civ' are staggering.
The 'art' of information is nothing w/o the 'fine art' of disinformation.Our beloved 'civ' is only a game, true, but what brings it to life is the human element. The ability to form,mold a game through strategy and abilities. The use of enuedo and wit,charm,truth, lies, and misrepresentaion are all used effectivelly by only the most skilled civers(of course this is a MP thing,hard to lie to the computer...).
Many occasion has it happened that an opponent "inadvertantly" leaves 'on' the chat while talking about an invasion or deal(s) against an adversary.This is a very effective form of mis directing or confuseing opponents.Surely we all have seen the victom,about to be utterly destroyed(24 swords suddenly appear on a lonely beach near a quite town)and the victom resonds;surely you don't want to start a war with me,a big mistake...when in fact it is an obvious attempt at self prservation.Perhaps the victom Does have 20 swords on boats convienently passing your lands en route to another civ,esily rerouted to your shores as well.
From experience, I have used these and many more simular tatics with great success,and on occasion,failure too...



...as far as your beloved Iraqui, he is a wise man as is evident by his ability to live a long life so close to Saddam.His comic (mis)represeentation of facts and figureskeeps him alive and in a position of power.Saddam always seemed a big fan of the ole' shoot the messenger bit.Always present good news and you will always be good(alive).
Yes he is a goofy lookin fella too

What exactly is that suppoused to mean? Saddam has used chemical weapons in the past on his own people, and I don't know about you but I could not really picture a powermad murderous tyrant like him willingly disarm.

If they are not inside iraq they have probably hid them somewhere else, the US have already accused syria of harboring leaders from the iraqi regime. Would not be too unthinkable that they've hidden these WMD over there as well.

[sarcasm]...but of course that's just the bush regime picking on "another peaceloving" country... in their quest for world domination[/sarcasm]

...I hate the EU it's full of hipocrites, they accuse the US of just being after the oil (steal the iraqi wealth), when that's exactly what they have been doing themselves for years. (not stealing oil but doing profitable business deals with the brutal iraqi dictatorship)

I think you missed the joke, Divvy. That's what it would say in a civ game during diplomacy with the Iraqi information minister (as opposed to the standard "My words are backed by nuclear weapons!" in the game)

It means that the iraqi regime rather denies it has those weapons, like in the pre-gulf-war 3 period.

"We Americans" didnt claim control of cities......overzealous journalists did.....the military would claim partial control, which was not a lie. By the way, these were the same journalists who looked so dejected and irritated when there werent enough big explosions, or the coalition forces didnt move fast enough for them.

But, back on topic....I also enjoyed the press conferences from "Mr Magoo"....definately a candidate for a leaderhead.

And no any other weapons either...

I agree he would make the game more fun if he was the Babylonian leader. Or the military advisor when you play the Babs.

The 'Evil Algore' would be just fine as a representative of/from the Barbarians.He could also be used as the science advisor;after all he did 'invent the internet'.
