The Ba’athists employ jihad rhetoric, just as Saddam himself did when he was in power. From AFP, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
Nicosia – Saddam Hussein’s ousted Ba’ath party called on supporters in Iraq to step up attacks on US and Iraqi forces as his trial starts today, according to an Internet statement….
“This illegal trial will turn a new page for the Jihad (holy war) of the Iraqi armed resistance … organised for the long run by our companion and leader,” it said.
