Saddam: Iraq Attackers Will Fail
Iraqi Leader Saddam Hussein Says Anyone Who Attacks Iraq Will Fail
The Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq Aug. 8 — Saddam Hussein warned Thursday that anyone who attacks Iraq will die "in disgraceful failure," as thousands of armed volunteers marched through Baghdad.
Speaking on the anniversary of the end of the 1980-88 Iraq-Iran war, Saddam made no direct mention of the U.S.-British demand for the return of U.N. arms inspectors to Iraq. But his speech comes as U.S. officials consider a possible attack on Iraq to oust him for allegedly building weapons of mass destruction.
The Iraqi leader did not mention America and Britain by name, but referred to them as the "forces of evil" a phrase the Baghdad government frequently uses after U.S. and British airstrikes in the no-fly zones over northern and southern Iraq.
"The forces of evil will carry their coffins on their backs to die in disgraceful failure," he said in the televised speech.
The United States has warned Iraq of unspecified consequences if it does not allow U.N. weapons inspections to resume. Iraqi diplomats have held three meetings with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan this year to discuss the issue and related topics.
Vice President Dick Cheney said Wednesday that some U.S. officials believe Iraq could acquire nuclear weapons in the future. He also expressed skepticism that the return of U.N. inspectors, barred by Iraq since 1998, would solve the problem.
Eventually, Cheney said, the international community will have to "figure out how we're going to deal with this growing threat to peace and stability in the region and obviously potentially to the United States."
Saddam, dressed in a dark suit behind a desk spread with white lilies, called on the United Nations to "honor its obligations" over sanctions imposed on Iraq after its 1990 invasion of Kuwait.
"The right way is that the Security Council should reply to the questions raised by Iraq and should honor its obligations under its own resolutions," Saddam said.
He was referring to 19 questions given to Annan at a meeting in March, and to council resolutions which say that U.N. sanctions on Iraq can be lifted once it has eliminated its weapons of mass destruction and fulfilled other requirements.
Iraq has long said it has fulfilled these conditions and that the sanctions should be lifted.
Annan circulated the 19 questions, which deal with various Iraqi complaints, to the Security Council members, who have not replied.
About 15,000 members of the "Jerusalem Army" marched through Baghdad shortly before the Iraqi leader's 22-minute address was broadcast. Dressed in khaki uniforms and carrying rifles, the marchers held up placards that said, "Long live Saddam!" and "Down with U.S.A!" Others carried photographs of Saddam or Palestinian and Iraqi flags.
"We reject the U.S. war threats and we are ready to face them," said Sabah Mohammed, a 45-year-old woman taking part in the march.
The government has organized similar demonstrations for the last week. The Jerusalem Army is a civilian force established by Saddam in 2000 with the aim of driving the Israelis out of Jerusalem and supporting the Palestinian uprising.
While members of the Bush administration and Congress have spoken openly about war with Iraq, it's not clear that a military effort to topple Saddam would have international support particularly if Baghdad allows U.N. inspectors to return.
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud said Wednesday that his government is opposed to a U.S. strike on Iraq, and would not allow its soil to be used as a base for such a military action.
German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has warned that a U.S. attack on Iraq could wreck the international coalition against terrorism and throw the Middle East into turmoil.
Even British Prime Minister Tony Blair, considered Washington's strongest ally, faces opposition to war at home.

yeah we got big ass bombs, BUT, we cant even hit the fucking target!! do u know how many civilian deaths were in the bombings of afganistan? too many if u ask me. with the technology we got, we should be able to bomb them once and make'em so scared that they would never want to fuck wit us again. bush's father handled desert storm pretty well. but i dont think his son is doing a good job, with the dealings of other countries that is.
goin to war against Iraq would be fucked up
the US already has sanctions on Iraq, causing innocent iraqi citizens to suffer from some of the poorest living standards in the world.
their health care is terrible and food and clothing is scarce. its not their fuckin fault either. the civilians shouldnt have to suffer.
I dont think Iraq is a threat anyway. war is unnecessary and all it will do is cause senseless deaths.
