Saddam Says

7 May 2003:
This time we are standing against America, a tryant power that rules the world. You Iraqi people will shame the Americans as the Palestinians shame the Zionists. The Zionists are baffled how to fight the Palestiniain people and you the Iraqi people, men and women, stand together against the invasion and show your stance as much as you can by writing on walls, or making positive demonstrations or not selling them anything or buying anything from them, or by shooting them with your rifles and trying to destroy their cannons and tanks.

Brothers and sons, brave women and men, I bring you the good news that cells and brigades of jihad, sacrifice, and their organisations have indeed been formed on a large scale, comprising men and women mujahideen.

They have started their honourable actions in fighting the enemy and the aggression. You must be hearing about them, although what you are hearing about them, especially the losses they are inflicting among the (?infidel) invaders is just a small part of the actual losses.

This time will be their end through the will, heroic resistance, and great jihad of the Iraqis and their faithful brothers from the sons of our nation.

Glorious heroes: Strengthen your faithful and brave blows against the foreign aggressors, from wherever they come and whatever their nationalities.

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Say: "Nothing will happen to us except what God has decreed for us: He is our protector", and in God let the believers put their trust.

Say: "Can you expect for us (any fate) other than one of two glorious things - Martyrdom or victory? But we can expect for you either that God will send His punishment from Himself, or by our hands. So wait, expectant, we too will wait with you. [Koranic verses]

O great people, God willing; O magnanimous mujahideen, lovers of martyrdom, and God's loved ones; O magnanimous men of our Armed Forces wherever you hold on tightly to the weapons of the valiant resistance; O magnanimous men and glorious women in the field of resistance and raising the roaring voice of right against the criminals and weakness. I am addressing you all regardless of all your job titles and ranks, and wherever the slogan in the name of God, Iraq, and the nation under the banner of God is great and come to join the jihad is shouted.

May God's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you. May you enjoy many happy returns of the day. May God bless your Ramadan and the Id that follows it. May your fasting be accepted, God willing.

Our martyrs are in paradise while the dead of the louts and our other enemies are in hell. O God, make this month of Ramadan the prelude to and foundation of victory as it was during the great Badr [battle], [which marked] the era of the vanguards of Arabs and Muslims who were honoured by faith in you.

Dec 14 2003:
"My name is Saddam Hussein. I am the president of Iraq and I want to negotiate."

And

...there they found Saddam... He was armed with a pistol, but he didn't use it.

<...>

Whether Saddam ever contemplated defending himself was not known, but two of his aides, carrying Kalashnikov rifles, tried to run away. They were captured, too.

ANd here's a headline for those who can't grasp the obvious: "Arrest marks end of disastrous year for Saddam"
