BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) A new audiotape purporting to carry the voice of ousted dictator
Saddam Hussein was broadcast on Arab television Wednesday, demanding that U.S.
troops withdraw from Iraq and saying that their defeat is inevitable.

The speaker on the tape also called on Iraqis to join the resistance against the U.S.-led
occupation and take to the streets in protests.

Addressing the Americans, the speaker said, ''Your withdrawal from our country is
inevitable. And tomorrow is not too far away.'' He told the United States to negotiate its
withdrawal with Iraqi leaders it holds captive.

The voice said the tape was recorded in mid-September, though there was no way to verify
that claim or the tape's authenticity.
