Alleged Saddam tape urges 'road of Jihad'

BAGHDAD (AP) — An audiotape purportedly made by Saddam Hussein told Iraqis on Sunday to step up their resistance to the U.S.-led occupation, saying the United States and its allies misjudged the difficulty of occupying Iraq.
The speaker, who sounded like the ousted Iraqi leader, told Iraqis that the "road of jihad (holy war) and resistance" is the only one to make the "armies of the unjust occupation leave our country."

Another tape from whom? The USA news is disappointing.

A voice purported to be that of ousted president Saddam
Hussein has said the US-led occupation forces in Iraq
have reached "a dead end", in an audiotape broadcast on
Arabic television.

In Sunday's tape, Saddam calls on Iraqis to resist the occupying
forces and warned of more deaths for US-led troops.

"Fighting them...is a legitimate, patriotic and humanitarian duty
and the occupiers have no choice but to leave our country Iraq, the
country of Arabs and Islam, as cursed losers," the speaker, who
sounded like Saddam, said on al-Arabiya television.

"The path of jihad and resistance is the best path under God, human
kind and history and is the only path which will guarantee the
expulsion of the tyrannical foreign forces from our country and
grant total freedom and sovereignty to our people in their land,"
Saddam said.

"The evil ones are at a dead end in Iraq after having imagined they
were going out for a walk" when they launched the invasion on 20
March that led to Saddam's fall, he said.
