US forces will be humiliated: Saddam Alt tag: US attack a crime against humanity, says Saddam Dubai: Iraqi President Saddam Hussein on March 20 reacted angrily to the US attack saying it is a "shameful crime against humanity" and called for resistance.

Dressed in military fatigue, Saddam Hussein in a television broadcast nearly three hours after US-led coalition launched air and missile strikes on military installations said, "Iraq is being treated unjustly by enemies ... and Iraq's enemies will be humiliated."

"We will resist the invaders," Saddam said blasting the "cowardly aggression".

Appearing on his son Uday's Youth Television, Saddam began by saying there "was no need to remind Iraqis what to do and what not to in the face of the attack".

"In any event you will be victorious over your enemies who are covered in opprobrium and ignominy," he said in the nearly 10-minute address.
