BAGHDAD, JUNE 11 (AP) - The United States will be defeated in Iraq in the same way it was defeated in Vietnam, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein said in remarks published Sunday.
Saddam was speaking at a reception for Vietnam's first Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Tang Dung on Saturday, the government-run newspaper Al-Thawra reported.
"Iraq will continue to face American aggression against its cities and installations," Saddam said, "and, in the same way the Americans were forced to declare - directly or indirectly - their failure in Vietnam, ... they will be forced to declare their failure in Iraq."
Dung left Baghdad Sunday at the end of a visit designed to promote trade and bilateral ties. During the visit, Iraq and Vietnam signed an agreement on economic cooperation.
The agreement includes work on increasing cooperation in the oil, agriculture and trade sectors, the official Iraqi News Agency reported Sunday.
