Sammy issues even more blood-curdling threats...
President Saddam Hussein vowed yesterday to kill one million enemy soldiers if they tried to take Baghdad but offered to cooperate with the UN disarmament process after inviting the chief UN weapons inspectors back to Iraq. "The enemy will not enter Baghdads suburbs because he will die. Even if they send a million soldiers, our boys will kill them," Saddam told senior military aides. "The enemy will land in remote regions and film it," the Iraqi strongman said, according to reports released to the official press.We're going to fake it, and they're going to kill a million of us. Quick, Ethel! My pills! Saddam charged that the enemy media will then start saying that they are at some distance from Ramadi (west of Baghdad) or somewhere else and now on its way to invade this or that city. This is how they are going to put on their show, he added. Was it good for you, too, darling? As Washington presses the UN Security Council to authorize war, the press said Saddam had reviewed with top aides, including Defense Minister Sultan Hashem and son Qussay, strategies to defeat an enemy landing while limiting Iraqi losses. And how do they intend to do that? Iraq also threatened suicide attacks. Suicide attacks are our new weapons, Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan told the German news magazine Der Spiegel, adding: The whole region will be set ablaze. This part of the world will become a sea of resistance and danger for Americans. Neighboring countries hosting US troops would be especially singled out, Ramadan said. That makes sense. Not much sense, but sense. The best way to limit Iraqi losses is to have the Iraqis blow themselves up... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-02-03 |
