You can say that he didn't hide money in Syria, but seeing as how much money is missing, it seems a rational thing to suggest. Jlallen would like to suggest he moved WMD to sell them- but actually moving cash and valuables, which are less tricky to dispose of, makes a lot more sense to me. I don't think Saddam was as irrational as you think he was. He made some miscalculations about the US, but he was trying to be logical; he simply didn't know the US very well. He thought bluffing the US would work the same as his bluffs in the ME. Sadly, that was a miscalculation, but it was rational given that he did not understand the US. Of course we are all free to spin whatever fantasies we want. I just don't buy yours. You are free not to buy mine.
