| We'll fight with pistols if we have to, vows Sammy |
| 2003-01-29 |
| Iraqi President Saddam Hussein vowed today that Iraqis would battle a US-led invasion with pistols and rifles if they had to and would ultimately "break the neck" of their enemies. "Yar! We'll murderlize 'em!" "Our determination is solid, even if it comes to pistols and rifles to battle and defeat the enemy," Saddam told a meeting of top army officers, later broadcast by state television. "If (the enemy) keeps wanting to attack us, we are going to break its neck," he told the meeting, which included Defence Minister Sultan Hashem and Saddam's younger son Qussay, who directs the elite Republican Guard. It's part of his training to take over the family business... Saddam said the army was preparing for the threat of a US invasion "with successive lines of defence ... and the greatest possible amount of equipment". In the past month, Saddam has upped his meetings with military officials and traded verbal jabs with US President George W Bush who has threatened to invade Iraq unless it rids itself of alleged weapons of mass destruction. I notice he hasn't been ridding himself of weapons of mass destruction, though. |
