Saddam Tape Says War Not Over Yet in Iraq
snip
DUBAI (Reuters) - An audio tape purportedly by deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein urged Iraqis Wednesday to fight occupying U.S. forces, saying the war was not yet over.

"Our will will not surrender and won't be defeated. The battle is not over yet," the tape, addressing Iraqi armed forces, said.

The tape, aired by Dubai-based Al Arabiya television, was dated July 20, two days before U.S. troops killed Saddam's two sons, Uday and Qusay, in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.

"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.

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.

3. You have a very low estimate of the Iraqi people
Just because someone on a tape says jihad you believe all the people of Iraq will rise up in arms. Do you really think they are that easily persuaded? I don't think they are that mindless.

It is not a religious fanatic state. This is the same as Timothy McVey calling all Christians to rise up against whoever. YAWN
