4/3/03 Speech

His Excellency Saddam Hussein
exhorts his people to repel the criminals

"In the name of God, The Merciful, The Compassionate. And fight them on until there is no more tumult.

Oh great people, Oh men of our valiant armed forces, Oh Iraqi young men, Oh mujahedin, who carry the honor and trust of the weapons of jihad. Oh glorious women in your beloved, dear Baghdad, which is glorious with its people.

Peace be upon you. The enemy Oh beloved tries in vain to shake your steadfastness and your heroic confrontations. Therefore, they started bypassing the defenses of the armed forces around Baghdad just like other Iraqi cities in general, avoiding clashing with it, or by testing it and avoiding it when found strong and holding fast. Instead, they bypass it and airdrop here and there just as we have previously expected them. The landing and the movement is mostly on the roads, in small numbers of vehicles and evildoers, in a way that makes it possible for you to resist and destroy with the available weapons. Perhaps you remember the valiant Iraqi peasant and how he shot down an American Apache with an old weapon, Berno. Strike them forcefully. Strike them by the force of faith wherever they come close to you.

Resist them, Oh people of valiant and beautiful Baghdad, whenever they come close to you and traverse on your venerable city, relying on God, The Powerful, The Great.

Stick to your principles, your patriotism, the honor of men and women, the faith and the honor of the pledge. You are now, our beloved, Oh people of Baghdad and Iraq, the mast of faith and glory.

You will be victorious and they will be, God willing, defeated and cursed.

God is great. Glory is to God and victory is Iraq's. God is great.

Long live our nation. Long live Iraq. Long live Palestine. On to Jihad. Their dead will go to hell, and the living will be covered with shame. Our martyrs will go to heaven and our living will have glory and pride.

Glory and the approval of God, The merciful The compassionate, will be yours, you Iraqi men and glorious women, of the people of Baghdad and Iraq.

God is great, God is great, and fie on the criminals.
