LONDON (Reuters) - Iraq (news - web sites)'s former Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, whose colorful daily briefings earned him cult status during the Gulf War (news - web sites), is to take Britain's night clubs by storm.

Record producers are planning to record a dance track sampling some of his most popular catch-phrases.

"It is set to be massive," one of the track's backers Les Molloy told The Sun newspaper on Friday. "There has already been a lot of interest from record stations and club DJs."

With his trademark beret and sly smile, Sahaf astonished Western television viewers by appearing each day behind a sea of microphones often to deny events viewers could see on their television screens.

He regularly berated British and American troops as "infidels" and vowed "God will roast their stomachs in hell."

now this i must hear.


and. "infidels"? one of his rather more...tame, offerings, eh? what about "bush and his international gang of bastards"? how about that?

singapore, incidentally, as a member of the cheesy "coalition of the willing" ( undoubtedly so named in order to make things sound less like half the world hates dubya ) is part of that gang of bastards. finally! international recognition!
