Reminiscent of the Iraqi Information Minister, Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf, Sue Wallis, R-Wy, has proclaimed the controversial "Summit" meeting in Las Vegas a grand success for the horse industry. Despite dismal attendance (a contingent of opponents were counted among the 200 attendees) a scathing local LasVegas news report, and overwhelming public opposition, Ms Wallis' myopic assessment of the soiree can only be described as "huh?"
However, the similarities between Ms Wallis' account of the "Summit" gathering as well as her rantings about animal activists, and the infamous 'Bahgdad Bob's reports during the American invasion of Iraq, are hilariously noteworthy.
The Iraqi Information Minister is perhaps best remembered for his final broadcast in which he agitatedly declared that US troops were defeated and committing mass suicide at the gates of Baghdad, and that there were "no US tanks in Baghdad", all while al-Sahhaf's camera clearly showed several US tanks maneuvering through the city streets behind him less than a mile from his position.
