Comments: All the testing was done in our underground mobile test lab to accomodate our guest expert tester Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf (Iraqi Minister of Information). Although Sahhaf seemed to be pre-occupied initially, after a few shots some of this good stuff he loosened up a bit. He compared this to other high end tequilas he and Saddam had shared in downtown Baghdad. The first three shots of Hussong's went down so easy that he appeared to forget where he was and told some pretty tall tales. We accused him of being a liar, but he laughed and said "all you Americans are all alike, always with the lying thing. Let it go. Let's drink some more." It ended with him admitting this was one of his all time favorites and that he really enjoyed our company, even if we were American Infidels. He invited us back "any time we were in town". We said we would be back later that month and would bring some friends (Marines).
