...attributing the quotes made by the information minister to Saddam? It would appear that Saddam is dead or incapacitated.
I wonder what the Iraqis are thinking right now, assuming they were expecting a speech from Saddam himself.

That's how the Iraqi foreign minister attributed them.

Gee, what if the info minister attributed the speech to Allah himself?

Or if the reporter was interviewing me and I babbled some crap and said it was George Bush's words would he just go along with that without verifying it?
