He's going to reject the resolution, offer a compromise, fiddle around, ask for more time, etc. He thinks the US, though well armed, is weak. Given our history with him, he has a point. He doesn't understand why we did not get rid of him when we could or why we didn't annihilate him when the plot to kill 41 was discovered, a cassus belli even when one uses his twisted calculus. It must also not be forgotten that Saddam doesn't do anything until he absolutely, positively has his back against a wall. He doesn't feel the heat yet. A few bombs have to fall, his army has to be crushed, and his last resort has to be WMDs before any serious negotiation can take place. It will be too late by then. Saddam is in the process of making another gigantic miscalculation.
