Was there an election In Louisiana yesterday? I just listened to Fox News with Tony Snow - not one mention of the results in La. If the Republican had won, they would have been crowing about the result. Because A democrat won, they totally ignored. Fair and Balanced coverage?

Purported Saddam Hussein tape aired by Arabic language TV station

By Associated Press, 11/16/2003 11:34

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) An audiotape purportedly made by Saddam Hussein told Iraqis on Sunday that the United States and its allies misjudged the difficulty of occupying Iraq and that Iraqis will rebel against their ''evil intentions.''

The tape was broadcast on the Arabic language television station Al-Arabiya, which is widely seen in Iraq and throughout the Middle East.

There was no immediate way to confirm the speaker on the tape was the ousted Iraqi leader. The voice sounded like Saddam but was huskier than usual. He greeted the Iraqi people on the occasion of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan and said the ''evil ones will not be able to occupy and colonize Iraq.''

''They thought and made others also think that they were going on a picnic to occupy Iraq and destroy their weapons of mass destruction,'' the voice said, denying that Iraq had any such arms.

''Iraq will rebel against their evil intentions to colonize it and to wield influence in it,'' he said. ''The evil ones now find themselves in a crisis and this is God's will for them.''
