Why would Saddam do such a thing? To discredit Bush, in the hope of gaining political support to reverse the overthrow of his regime. Remember, when he emerged from his hole, he declared himself ready to "negotiate". Little did he realize that was not an option. I find it more ludicrous to believe that the various intelligence agencies were completely in the dark about Iraqi capabilities, and that Saddam invited an invasion by acting guilty, than that he had determined that it was futile to resist the initial invasion to any great extent, and hoped by guerrilla harrassment and the embarrasment of Bush on the issue of WMDs to regain power. This may be true Neocon. However it completely discounts the "Stupid Saddam" option. Then too, there is the "Senile Saddam" alternative. Or the "Mad Cow Saddam" alternative. As every Treki knows, there are always alternatives... 0\|0
