I've removed the following, it seems un-encyclopedic, at least as long as the significant of it (if any) it is not explained:
al-Sahaf does not have a moustache, which is special for an Iraqi man.

:I don't agree. There is no POV here; the article simply reports the existence of the nickname, which is widely used and known in the English-speaking world, regardless of whether it is "racist". Also I think there is no longer any dispute that many of his public statements were untrue. -- VV 03:55, 28 Jan 2004 (UTC)

The link is 404. If anyone can find another copy of it or something similar, it would be good to have. --Ben Brockert 02:15, May 25, 2004 (UTC)

Is there actually a clip of him speaking while US tanks/humvees drive by?  I've seen numerous claims of this, including this article (which cites a heresay source) but I watched every video of him on YouTube and did an exhaustive Google Image search, but found nothing.  There was only one outdoor clip of him and no vehicles were seen.  This should probably be removed if it's just an urban legend.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.174.5.130 (talk) 04:07, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

message: The title says Sahhaf, but in the article it says Sahaf, which is correct?
:The "correct" version is written in Arabic, not Roman letters. There is no single way of transliterating Arabic letters to Roman ones. So either is correct.–Quadell (talk) (bounties) 18:50, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

message: His statement about Americans being burnt in their tanks and going to surrender is becoming more and more true. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.68.44.148 (talk) 16:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

You morons were saying?   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.80.85.229 (talk) 21:51, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The statement in the article about no US tanks in Baghdad is false. The US claimed to have taken Baghdad airport, so he went there himself and reported from there that there were not any tanks or americans there. (Besides a burning tank).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.228.252.55 (talk) 14:28, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wasn't he right? 

message: I can't tell where I read of that, but I believe the following to be correct:
* that al-Sahhaf studied English literature (English fiction, to be precise)
* that he studied in England
* and that he has a brother whose is a M.D. in a Ireland or Northern Ireland hospital.

message: Is there any reason why 'Baghdad Luxury' is given in the introductory parapgraph, whlie 'Baghdad Bob' and 'Comical Ali' are mentioned later on in the text? Shouldn't they all be in the same place? And where did the 'Baghdad Luxury' nickname come from and what does it refer to? 86.153.216.204 22:31, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
