Baghdad Bob

Everyone remembers him. During the Iraq invasion the Iraqi Information Minister was famous for his statements begging credulity – he was essentially a laughingstock. Some of his memorable lines:

After U.S. Forces Seized Baghdad's Airport: "We butchered the force present at the airport. We have retaken the airport! There are no Americans there!"

After U.S. Troops Penetrated Central Baghdad: "Nobody came here. Those America losers, I think their repeated frequent lies are bringing them down very rapidly.... Baghdad is secure, is safe."

Well it appears the US now has it's own Baghdad Bob – Adam Ereli of the US State Department who made this incredible announcement to deflect criticism received by the US after we petulantly walked out of the UN Climate conference in Montreal yesterday: “If you want to talk about global consciousness, I'd say there's one country that is focused on action... dialogue... co-operation and... helping the developing world, and that's the United States.”

Incredible
