Iraqi newspapers said the United States was launching a psychological war on Iraq in preparation for military strikes on the country. Babel, the newspaper of President Saddam Hussein's eldest son Uday, said that as part of the "psychological war against our country" the United States "concentrates on reiterating its aggressive intentions on Iraq to prepare peoples minds to accept this." It said the U.S. administration was preparing for military action against Iraq after the failure of its policy to "dismantle Iraq and its territorial integrity" -- a reference to the 1991 Gulf war over Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. "These desperate attempts will fail as they have failed in the past," Babel said in a front-page editorial.
