<<Incidentally, Saddam issued a broadcast tape that looked to be real (current) and asked all the faithful to cut the throats of infidels. Unfortunately, it praised the Iraqi 51st armored division>> Did the 51st really surrender?? story.news.yahoo.com Excerpt -- "Be patient. God's victory is coming," he added. "Be tolerant." Saddam said the ground battles were going well and Iraqi troops had been able to inflict great losses on the enemy. He praised his commanders, several of them by name, saying their units fought fiercely against coalition troops. Among those he named were the commanders of the 51st, 11th and 18th divisions, which are posted in Basra, Iraq's second-largest city. One of those commanders, Lt. Gen. Khaled Saleh al-Hashimi of the 51st, was interviewed by the Arab satellite station Al-Jazeera in Basra on Sunday. Earlier reports said he surrendered to U.S. troops. Al-Hashimi denied the "American lies" and said he was still in Basra fighting and admitted that "we have offered sacrifices but these are the price for the defense of our honor and sacred land." Saddam told the people of Basra, which has been isolated but not occupied by allied forces, to be patient because "victory is imminent."
