Saddam’s mouthpiece ‘seeks surrender’
Former Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf is attempting to surrender to US forces, according to a London-based Arabic newspaper.
But Al-Sharq al-Awsat says the Americans have refused to arrest Mr Sahhaf – who became a familiar face during the war with his upbeat assessments of Iraqi military “successes” – because he does not appear on their “most wanted” list of 55 former regime officials.

They wouldn’t LET him surrender because he’s not on the list of 55 … so what is this list REALLY about? What do they really want the 55 for? And why precisely 55?
Just thinking about it and possible UA-linked conspiracy theories but haven’t come up with any yet 🙂
I was reading the article you provided a link for and found some interesting quotes:
“his statements were increasingly at odds with reality,
Could he actually have been spending time in an alternate reality where his statements were true? Perhaps the U.S. government focused the energy stored up at the Pentagon and shifted the planet sideways in time to a more favorable war outcome. Perhaps he and a few other dukes out there remember a different Iraqi war.
“He’s my man, he was great. Somebody accused us of hiring him and putting him there. He was a classic.” : President Bush on Mr. Sahhaf
Perhaps Sahhaf WAS working for the Americans. By giving the Arab world a false sense of security and confidence, he shattered their expectations and crushed their resolve. Anger engineered into despair. Now, Bush is double-crossing him and not having him arrested into protective custody.
Could Sahhaf be some sort of megajinx? Perhaps he is a luck sink. Any government associated with him will suffer greatly. That’s why the U.S. wants nothing to do with him.
Maybe Sahhaf is a powerful Cryptomancer. By saying something, he makes the opposite become reality. After helping Bush, he became worried that he would be double-crossed and arrested. So he did the natural thing: He requested to be arrested. Thus preventing it.
Reverse-Psychology based majick makes my head hurt….
