I posted earlier about an news item that stated that some Iraqi citizens were threatening suicide if we didn't succeed. I know saw it on Fox and on Yahoo within the last 5 days. It was within an article about a minister who was a human shield who after getting there, realized what was going on and was reporting on what people on the inside were telling him. If anyone sees it please post URL. Thanks.

Iraq Vows to Divide and Destroy Coalition Forces The Iraqi leadership issued a statement following a meeting chaired by President Saddam Hussein on Thursday, urging the Iraqi people and armed forces to divide the US-led coalition forces and destroy them completely. The Iraqi leadership issued a statement following a meeting chaired by President Saddam Hussein on Thursday, urging the Iraqi people and armed forces to divide the US-led coalition forces and destroy them completely. The meeting discussed preparations taken by Iraq to confront the "savage and barbarian attacks by the enemy" and "the necessary measures" taken to destroy them, the brief statement said. The statement called on the Iraqi people and armed forces to "exploit the enemy's spread-out in different parts of Iraq, divide the enemy troops into pieces and attack the front and rear so as to destroy them completely." The statement also called on the Iraqi armed forces and people to "inflict maximum material and human damage among enemy ranks." President Saddam, the major target of the US-led military campaign, chaired the meeting as the war entered the eighth day. The state television said that the meeting was attended by Iraqi Vice-President Taha Yassin Ramadan, Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz, Defense Minister Hashim Ahmed and a number of other ministers. The meeting was held while the coalition forces launched several rounds of air attacks on the Iraqi capital of Baghdad on Thursday. Earlier on Thursday, Iraqi Health Minister Umid Medhat Mubarak said that 350 civilians have been killed and some 4,000 others injured since the US-led war on Iraq started last Thursday. He said most of the victims were children, women and the elderly.
