Comical Whiskey of Phnom Penh - Long serving information minister and mouthpiece of the ruling CPP regime Mr Khieu Kanharith is sometimes likened to the late Saddam Hussein's Information Minister, dubbed "Comical Ali" by western reporters for the same dubious and miraculous ability in cooking up seemingly impossible reports for their respective governments. Thus, the results of the general election recently announced by him via Facebook only serve to indicate as to the veracity of the figures and outcomes of the election itself, the consequences of which will carry far reaching implications and impact upon the Cambodian nation one way or another - School of Vice

Separated at birth: Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf  is a former Iraqi diplomat and politician. He came to wide prominence around the world during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, during which he was the Iraqi Information Minister under Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, acting as the mouthpiece for the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party and Saddam's regime.

He is best known for his grandiose and grossly unrealistic propaganda broadcasts before and during the war, extolling the invincibility of the Iraqi Army and the permanence of Saddam's rule. His announcements were intended for an Iraqi domestic audience subject to Saddam's cult of personality and total state censorship, and were met with widespread derision and amusement by Western nationals and others with access to up-to-date information from international media organizations. In the US he was popularly known as Baghdad Bob, in the UK as Comical Ali, and in Italy as Alì il Comico. [Wikipedia]

Note by School of Vice

If the NEC is not under the CPP's control and direction, why is it then that all its committee members are appointees of the Ministry of Interior, the security organ of the CPP?

Why have the recommendations of UN special rapporteur - Prof. Surya Subedi - concerning NEC reform fallen on deaf ears up to now?

What evidence is there by which to conclude that the reduction in the number of seats “won” by the CPP from 90 [2008] to 68 [2013] indicates that the NEC is not under the CPP's direction?

Is it possible that the CPP has lost to the CNRP by a landslide, yet somehow cooked up the results to show it still wins by a whisker?

What kind of results would now have been manipulated between the CPP and the NEC had it not been for the role and vigilance of some independent poll observers, CNRP voters and activists themselves on Election Day? Another guaranteed landslide victory for the ruling party as in previous elections?

The Injustice perpetrated against the Will and hopes of ordinary Cambodian people and voters by this shameless band of natural born swines and swindlers are enough to make the stones cry out!
