[The Great Satan]

Someone here posted today that Saddam referred to the timing, not just the date, of the initial raid in his TV speech. Does anyone know if this is correct? I have been unable to find a transcript on the web. It seems now fairly clear that that was Saddam on the tape, so the question is, was that a canned tape with a dubbed-in date reference, or was it made after the bombing? Mucho contradictory stories out there on what happened, on the tape, who was in the bunker, etc.

I think this is correct.

He did make a reference to an attack. OTOH, it would not take a Rocket Scientist to figrue out that you should pre-record a speech with such a reference to the day that Bush set as the deadline. The probability of an attack on that day was extremely high and Saddam surely realized that.
