CNN just reported thatBaghdad Bob is alive and is being protected by a Kurdish group. It turns out that Baghdad Bob's wife is a Kurd.

[Brian Mosely]

and I thought he had settled in to his new job...

[mewzilla]

The Kurds are protecting this guy?!

[Skooz]

Good news! Maybe he will do a stint on SNL after all.

[xJones]

I knew ol' Bobby wasn't the type to hang himself! We had heard that from two Iranian sources, which made it questionable anyway. I'd even watch CNN if they could interview the Bobster.

[Illbay]

I'll wait for FNC confirmation.

I love the Kurds and curse the day I met Saddam. I am all now for democracy. No hard feelings.

[mewzilla]

Wonder if BB will now sue for a cut of the merchandising rights?

[Sender]

Thank God! I thought we had lost him. We need to get him over here before the Democratic convention.

[capydick]

It turns out that Baghdad Bob's wife is a Kurd.

A Turd married to a Kurd. How nice.

[CougarGA7]

Baghdad Bob is alive?

SPEECH! SPEECH!

I've missed his comedy.

[Poohbah]

Where is Turdistan, anyway?

[The Lone Ranger]

I could definitly see him in next years Super Bowl commercials somewhere.

Lying American dog I did try to hang myself but I used no-good U.S. rope that broke 18 times, I CURSE your mustache!

[always vigilant]

I think it’s under that porcelain bowl in your bathroom. I’m not totally positive on this tho.

Cheers!!

[Illbay]

Is that a quote, or are you just glad to see me?

[GraniteStateConservative]

No hard feelings.

I was just pulling the infidels' legs. Ha, ha. So funny am I.

[A. Pole]

Good news! Maybe he will do a stint on SNL after all.

It would be interesting to see the debate between him and Mr. Rumsfeld. They both seem to like idioms and folksy words.

[2Jedismom]

I read an article yesterday about that Chater guy telling what it was like to try to give a news report with his "minder" almost always present. Can you imagine the pressure on Bob? I wouldn't doubt if he had a gun pointed at him. The more outrageous he became, the more convinced I was that he was saying those things to save his life.

[peeve23]

Is BB on a playing card?

CNN will be in Kurdistan looking this guy up. With Eason Jordan's admission of being a total incompetent, they'll be looking for a new chief in the news department.

BB may have his shortcomings, but you gotta admit, He puts it on the line and in your face.

There are no Americans within 100 miles. (CNN newsroom motto.....true, btw....they're all 'internationalists.')

LOL!

[aristeides]

Baghdad Bob's a Shiite. A Shiite married to a Kurd was the chief propagandist for Saddam's regime. The hero of Baghdad (profile of Baghdad Bob).

[Grampa Dave]

Don't blame our good ropes. Baghdad Bob's cat broke the rope 18 times with a swipe of its powerful paws. It was hungry, and Bob was just hanging around and not feeding it.

[capt. norm]

I'm sure Bob would like us to think that HE is protecting THEM.

[Nick Danger]

I hope it turns out that Bob doesn't have any torture or other creepy stuff on his resume. He has a bright future as a cult figure if he doesn't end up in prison.

[capt. norm]

"Where is Turdistan, anyway? "

I believe it's in Central Arkansas. It's one of those places that when you pass through, "Dueling Banjos" from the movie "Deliverance" starts playing in the back of your mind and all the locals look alike.

[Chemist_Geek]

He was in Detroit the other day...

[madrastex]

A Turd married to a Kurd. How nice. ..
No Whey?!!

[try phecta tom]

Yeah that's it, there was a mouse in my pants and the damned cat wouldn't let me hang in peace

[Illbay]

I'm glad to hear he's alive, if true. The guy's just too much fun to get mad at!

[Portnoy]

Maybe he and Rumsfeld could replace Clinton/Dole on Point/Counterpoint

[Grampa Dave]

Anyone who keeps a mouse in his pants around a cat, deserves to hang himself 18 times.

[3AngelaD]

BAGHDAD BOB LIVES! Our prayers are answered. Our entertainment needs will be met. He will appear on Letterman, Saturday Night Live, and perhaps the Fox Morning show. I wonder if he is aware of his status as a cult figure.

[Verginius Rufus]

Maybe he can get a job as PR man for the Detroit Tigers.

[try phecta tom]

The cat was going for 72 virgin mice

[ThomasMore]

That was a good movie! (Class D, but good)

[risk]

...and I thought he had settled in to his new job...

The alien broadcasting station was overrun by Starship Troopers, and Bob was able to slip out in a FEDERAL NET uniform posing as a reporter for our side!

[Amelia]

The more outrageous he became, the more convinced I was that he was saying those things to save his life.

Or the lives of his family. Wasn't it Tariq Aziz's son that Saddam held in jail to ensure Tariq's loyalty?

[Grampa Dave]

Uday wouldn't leave 72 vigin anything in Iraq, let alone mice.

[areafiftyone]

I AM ALIVE YOU INFIDEL DOGS!!

[Semper Paratus]

He can thank the $200,000 he extorted from the journalist for his life.

[grannie9]

LOL LOL... grrrroan......

[cajungirl]

I think that Bob was plainly excessive to let the world know he had a minder. I think he had to do what he did. I think Bob may have an interesting story to tell about how to survive in Saddam's world and let the world know what you are having to do at the same time by exaggeration

[WSGilcrest]

A good map of Turdistan HERE.

[OldFriend]

Could we just assume that CNN and The Onion are one and same and treat their news accordingly?

[Grampa Dave]

You are probably correct. Saddam had minders on most of his thugs and had goons watching his family incase he told the truth.

[basque69]

I sense that Baghdad Bob "dropped the dime" on Saddam and hence is not in the deck of cards.

[Terp]

And why should anyone believe a word that CNN says? If I see another post that referances CNN I'll puke!!!
