Saddam's entire behavior since 1991 tells us that he regards WMDs as being necessary to his continued survival. Necessry also to his ambitions. Don't assume his actions are one dimensional. You are starting to believe he thinks like you. He doesn't. Just because he puts himself before everybody else doesn't mean he's only focused on his survival. There is also the matter of aggrandisement. He does have ambitions to be another Saladin. In this context the WMDs have symbolic value.
