Iraq
Day Late? Alleged Saddam tape rallies forces
2003-07-23
Gotta get that delivery system sped up Sammy, this makes you look foolish. Heh
An audio tape purportedly by deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, addressing Iraqi armed forces, urged Iraqis on Wednesday to fight occupying U.S. forces, saying the war was not yet over. The tape, aired by Dubai-based Al Arabiya television, was dated July 20, two days before U.S. troops killed Saddam’s two sons, Odai and Qusai, in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.
"Well, it's over for them. But not for the rest of you guys, 'cuz you ain't dead yet..."
“We tell our armed forces and our people that if America has achieved military superiority, it will not achieve supremacy in the battle of wills against the Iraqi people,” the tape said.
Well, we tell our armed forces that we have achieved military supremacy, because Sammy's army wasn't squat. And we will win a battle of wills with Sammy, because what we have to offer smells better and doesn't leave as many deaders lying around...
The voice on the tape and the language sounded identical to that of Saddam. He used many verses of the Koran — the Islamic holy book. “Although the occupation is factually present in the form of the U.S. army, occupation is not officially settled. The will of the people and that of the armed forces and the political leaderships are not subdued,” he added.
"Well, some of us are subdued. But not me! I still have cash in hand and lotsa abdullards who're willing to decompose on command..."
The tape said U.S. forces, facing increased attacks, would not be safe in Iraq despite their military might and weaponry. It urged Iraqis and armed forces to rise up in a new “liberation army.”
"Yes, yes! Liberate yourselves from the Merkins so I can come back and control the national treasury and kill people at whim..."
“Let our awakening be a new lesson that can be added to the history of our nation and humanity,” he added.
Hey, Sammy! Y'remember Uday and Qusay and little Mustafa? They're dead now. Let that be a lesson to you...
Wednesday’s audio tape was the fourth in a month aired by Arab broadcasters and claiming to be from Saddam. A tape last week called on Iraqis to fight the Anglo-American occupiers and “evict the enemy from Iraq.” A CIA analysis has determined that the audiotape last week was “probably” the voice of Saddam. That supported the perception that Saddam survived the war. U.S. forces have been operating on the assumption Saddam is still alive and probably hiding in northern Iraq. The tape said every member of the armed forces, even those retired, should join the resistance to form what he called the “core of the new liberation army.”
"You suckers get out there and get killed, for the greater glory of, ummmm... me."
“My brothers at the armed forces and Republican guards, the hard task troops, the news of your actions honoring Jihad (holy struggle) is reaching me and making me feel proud and happy... Use every possible mean and continue your Jihad,” he added.
"Really. I'll take care of any survivors. I promise..."
Celebratory shots rang out over Baghdad on Tuesday night at the news Odai and Qusai were killed in a six-hour gunbattle in northern Iraq, but skeptical Iraqis are still demanding concrete proof they are dead.
Centcom sez they have Dental, X-Ray, and Visual confirmation the two decomposing sacks of shit are indeed the offspring of Sammy....Hoo-Ah!

#3  Sadaam's got worse timing than Dick Gephart (which is saying a lot!)

#2  I am afraid that Sadaam is going to win the battle of wills. I firmly believe his will is going to be executed long before mine.

#1  After having identified the bodies, I would just let them lie there and see who comes to collect. Perhaps Sammy himself wearing a wig??
