Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWhatever happened to Baghdad Bob??
Which network is he working for now? Or did FOX hire him on the condition that all the other networks would hire his brothers and cousins?
Sometimes I think Bob might be an improvement upon our present so-called journalists?
Do they not know the difference between day and night? Do they not know the difference between facts and fabrications?
As Baghdad Bob might have said, "We have the Americans surrounded and we will kill them all.."

I enjoyed the surrealism Baghdad Bob offered us. At least he wasn't a hate monger.

It's not clear what he does for a living now, but it's quite possible that he works as a consultant for the Fox News talking heads, advising them how to tell spectacular lies on national television with a completely straight face.
