Saddam threatens global war if attacked

Mar. 16, 2003. 03:19 PM
BAGHDAD (AP) ? President Saddam Hussein warned Sunday that if Iraq was attacked, it will take the war anywhere in the world, "wherever there is sky, land or water."

Saddam's threat was made during a meeting with military commanders and his remarks were carried by the official Iraqi News Agency.

"When the enemy starts a large-scale battle, he must realize that the battle between us will be open wherever there is sky, land and water in the entire world," Saddam told the commanders, according to the news agency.

Saddam also denied Iraq has any weapons of mass destruction, as the United States and Britain claim.

"Are weapons of mass destruction a needle that you can conceal in a head cover or in the scarf of an old woman that (UN weapons) inspectors cannot find?" Saddam asked.

"There are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq," he added, joking: "Well, give us time and the necessary means and we will produce any weapon they want and then we will invite them to come and destroy them."
