- BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi
President Saddam Hussein said Sunday President Bush had behaved without
manhood and chivalry toward Baghdad, and that Washington would fail to
humiliate Iraq.
-
- "The Iraqi (citizen) is not easy when he is angry.
The Iraqis are angered by the behavior of their enemy that has not kept
within the minimum of manhood and chivalry," Saddam told a Lebanese
delegation.
-
- "Tell your brothers that the Americans can damage
and destroy buildings and facilities, but they will fail to humiliate Iraq,"
Saddam said in comments carried by the Iraqi News Agency (INA).
-
- Bush has threatened war against Iraq unless it complies
with U.N. demands to come clean over any weapons of mass destruction. Iraq
denies possessing any nuclear, chemical or biological arms.
-
- Saddam later met Ramsey Clark, a former U.S. attorney
general who has been an opponent of a U.S.-led war against Iraq.
-
- INA said that during the talks Saddam saluted anti-war
protesters who have staged mass rallies across the world.
