TAPE: 'SADDAM IS ALIVE'
Arab television station al Jazeera claims to have an audio tape from Iraq's deposed leader Saddam Hussein.
On the tape, which is understood to have been recorded last month, Saddam claims he is still in Baghdad and living with a "comrade".
"I tell you that I miss you, miss you oh beloved people even though I am among you and in your ranks," he told Iraqis.
He also called on his countrymen Iraqis to protect resistance fighters and not help the "US infidel occupiers".
With attacks on US and British soldiers increasing, the voice addressed Iraqis, saying: "Oh brothers and sisters, I relay to you good news. Jihad (holy war) cells and brigades have been formed."
On the quick collapse of his regime, the voice said, "We have sacrificed the government. But we will not sacrifice our principles or surrender.
"We refused to hold onto power if that meant submitting to the American threats. They wanted to occupy us without a fight and destroy our pride."

Well, he is now in Panama driving a grocery truck. He delivered my groceries Wednesday afternoon. He seemed grateful for the tip.

You asked if "Did he make a tape with Bin laden too?"

Statement: "TAPE: 'SADDAM IS ALIVE'"
Response: I know he is alive. I saw him getting coffee at a fast food place in Gorman, California. He left driving an eighteen wheeler.

Good! We can kill him again. IMHO Osma and sodom are dead and we probably know it. But so long as there are doubts we can use them to flush out their followers. Everywhere they pop up we wack them and a few more terrorists die.

John Loftus reports nightly on the Batchelor-Alexander radio program (WABC radio, NYC).
He maintains that Saddam and his sons were killed in the bunker bombing on March 19, 2003. He claims we have documented evidence to prove this. We intercepted a call from an Iraqi, at the time of the bombing, urgently calling for the help of a Russian doctor.
The $25 million reward for Saddam and the $15 million reward for his sons is to entice the Russian doctor to come forward to admit that he attempted to save Saddam's life. He was not successful, but he knows where the bodies are buried and we need this information to prove that Saddam is indeed dead.

... al Jazeera claims to have an audio tape from ...Enough already!
There have been far too many "tapes" of one kind or another "popping up" in al Jazeera hands.
Time for "The Company" to have a "talk" with al Jazeera. I understand that "The Company" has a foreign Health Insurance Plan that you just can't refuse -- -- if you get my drift.

Saddam has been dead, is now dead, and may continue to be dead for the forseeable future. Ditto for Usama.

Did he make a tape with Bin laden too? Sorry, but I think Saddam and OBL are dust.Agreed. I believe OBL died at Tora Bora in Dec 2001 and that Saddam died on the opening night of the festivities, er, liberation of Iraq.

Actually, I just got back from the VFW 4th of July BBQ and UBL was dishing up big plates of BBQ pork ribs complete with potato salad and pork n beans. Sadam and sons were out back manning the grills.

Assuming this is genuine, the guy is really still full of himself, aint he?
This is Saddams future:
Note that we wiped the smile off of his face, and kicked the living arrogance right out of him, Saddam.

"We refused to hold onto power if that meant submitting to the American threats. They wanted to occupy us without a fight and destroy our pride." Does anyone else notice anything odd about this "we" stuff. Seems there should be more "I's" in it if its really from him.

"We refused to hold onto power if that meant submitting to the American threats."
This nonsensical quote reminds me of the taliban claiming their collapse and escape in the hills was a part of their "strategy" to destroy our willpower.
Self-delusional pride is all. "We are no retreating, we are attacking the rear!"

You have to admit that makes a lot of sense
