I have been inside Saddam’s mind for a long time now, and I have been sounding the warning for just as long. I would have been inside his mind for much longer if he hadn’t lost his mind. My search for such a small object took longer than even I suspected. Saddam’s mind is a truly evil, dark and horrible place. It is a painful place for any sane person to be, and I don’t wish that on anyone. Saddam is a common street thug without the slightest regard for law of any type, other than the law of the street. I believe that the random murders in Maryland, Washington D.C., and possibly Virginia, are the direct result of Saddam attempting to tip the scales of justice in his favor by fostering fear among Americans. In my opinion, there are many factors that have falsely lead Saddam to conclude that we are weak, and that we could be dissuaded out of fear for our safety. I list some of the key reasons below, these are my opinion only. 1. To Saddam, the visit by Scott Ritter to Iraq indicated division and lack of resolve among the people that would be required to take away Saddam’s weapons, which are absolutely vital to his plans for conquest. 2. To Saddam, the visit of two U.S. Congressmen to Iraq, and them questioning the veracity of the Presidents statements while in Iraq, indicated fear, and showed a weakness that Saddam feels he can exploit. 3. To Saddam, the failure to form a department of Homeland Security, indicated a lack of a determined resolve to defend Americans. IMO, this lack of a demonstrated and determined resolve, coupled with the continued arguing over the “evidence”, has directly lead Saddam to incorrectly believe that he could force the U.S. Government to bend to his will. We are very lucky that he does not yet have his “nuclear insurance” policy. I predict that Saddam will now try to blame the Jews, and say that they are attempting to “frame” him. IC
