Saddam has delivered two televised addresses
since the war began March 20. It was unclear why the Iraqi leader did not
appear Tuesday.
"Strike at them, fight them," the statement said. "They are aggressors, evil, accursed by God. You shall be victorious and they shall be vanquished. "Fight them everywhere the way you are fighting them today," it said. "And don't give them a chance to catch their breath until they declare it and withdraw from the lands of the Muslims, defeated and cursed in this life and the afterlife." |
