Pardon me, his information minister Baghdad Bob himself (or someone like him), stated that as I recall, which I've stated many times here. They got some "masses" together to dance in the street in joy then. Yes, the message was that there'd be more soon, god willing, as I recall. While I can find lots of Baghdad Bob stuff, I'm finding it difficult to find what was actually said from/by Saddam's Iraq on 09/11/2001 (or soon thereafter), everything seems now to center around Baghdad Bob's famously funny remarks later, as the war progressed into Baghdad. However, I really don't need a link, for I heard it myself and know I speak truth.
But, you might be interested in a link anyway.
"Woolsey, who served as President Clinton's first C.I.A. director, said that it is now illogical to doubt the notion that Saddam collaborates with Islamist terrorism, and that he would provide chemical or biological weapons to Al Qaeda. "At Salman Pak"—a training camp near Baghdad—"we know there were Islamist terrorists training to hijack airplanes in groups of four or five with short knives," Woolsey told me. "I mean, hello? If we had seen after December 7, 1941, a fake American battleship in a lake in northern Italy, and a group of Asian pilots training there, would we have said, 'Well, you can't prove that they were Japanese'?""

The whole article is instructive, as it brings up points needing some explaining such as I haven't seen, if one is to hold your point of view.
