Tim Sebastian met Albert Yelda (on the right, propably), Leader of Iraqi National Coalition
------------------
Presently he's not a singer ... not yet.
But, this could be the solution.
No, he was introduced as "Leader of the Iraqi National Coalition" and is actually its cofounder or confounder or whatever and above all - trara ! - its spokesman/public relations guy.

: : Once again he is not taken serious and is not believed in his unrealistic speechifying.
: : Mr "Unbelievable":

: :
: : But no evidence, no proof for his even imprecise and wishwash assertions & rhetoric allegations, only automatic parroting.
: : His robotized evasions provoke the interviewer into pinning him down a bit more aggressively than would be gentlemanlike and into interrupting his dodgy baloney in order to get him back on a more logical track.
