Bruce, re: In [your] opinion, Saddam believed until the last moment that he could avoid an invasion by tiny tactical concessions; like Stalin, he just did not believe - because he didn't want to believe - that the U.S. would have the audacity to physically remove him from power. And you maintain that Saddam was a "megalomaniac." Maybe Saddam wasn't crazy enough to believe that Bush would be so stupid that he would actually remove Saddam's non-wmd, radical-Islamic-supressing government which was no threat to the United States. After all, why would America want to open up that pressure cooker country to create chaos and stimulate terrorism? PS. Kodiak, are you still turning a deaf ear to the messenger whenever you don't want to hear the message? I.e., Boston Globe this time. It seems to me that any rational third world, tin pot dictator with a glimmer of connection to reality would have understood that the only way to contest American military power was by bending, but not breaking. But of course since it was the Boston Globe, and since they don't recognize that our victory was the "greatest military victory in history," their article is not worth discussing.
