In a defiant speech last night the Iraqi president, Saddam Hussein, condemned America’s “ugly face” and promised his people he would fight any US attack.

“The scheme of the evil ones can only be ended by confronting them. It is another test for you,” Saddam said in a speech to the revolutionary command council and the national assembly, which was televised nationally.

His 50-minute address was to mark his referendum victory this week in which he claimed a 100% support for his continued rule. “I will defend your country and your honour,” he told delegates.

In a rare admission he said other Arab nations would be unlikely to back Iraq in the event of war with America. “Now it may be very difficult for the Arab regimes around us to say no to America. The American policy is to make these leaders do exactly what they want,” he said.

A person on an unnamed forum:”I think we should pacify Saddam Hussein. There is no proof that he would use these weapons even if had them”
