"I said: The Americans are nowhere near Baghdad!"

Here's a humorous take from Slate's "Today's Papers":

Most of the papers notice the latest virtuoso performance by everybody's favorite propagandist, Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf. "They say they brought 65 tanks into center of city. I say to you this talk is not true. This is part of their sick mind," he explained from the roof the Palestine Hotel. "There is no presence of American infidels in the city of Baghdad at all." He had to speak loudly—to project over the noise of gunfire.
