OK, that’s it. I am now 100% convinced that Saddam Hussein is either dead or totally incapacitated, as the Iraqi information minister reads a “statement” from the dictator: Purported Saddam Message Calls for Jihad.
BAGHDAD, Iraq - The Iraqi information minister, reading a statement he said was from Saddam Hussein, called Tuesday for a jihad, or holy war, against the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
“The aggression that the aggressors are carrying out against the stronghold of faith is an aggression on the religion, the wealth, the honor and the soul and an aggression on the land of Islam,” Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf said on national television.
“Therefore, jihad is a duty in confronting them,” he added, saying “those who are martyred will be rewarded in heaven. Seize the opportunity, my brothers.”
