I don't remember any other reason... Do you ?

The Brits and Americans told Hussein via messenger that if he used WMDs, we would use all options at our disposal. I believe the Brits flat out said they'd nuke him. Hussein's got a long memory.

Well, that still does not make much sense to me. This time he knew he was going down and lose everything. He had no special assurance he would not be executed by the Iraqi people or in a war crimes trial.

He flees Baghdad to Tikrit. OK, that makes sense, because the Baghdadis would be more than eager to kill him, while up north he has not only henchmen, but relatives. But why on Earth, if he still has the WMDs when arriving in Tikrit, does he accept to be separated from them ?

To some Freepers, the weapons are now in Syria, because Saddam gave it to the Syrians. OK, let's suppose he's that generous. But then why is Saddam still in Iraq, while the WMDs were his keys to a safe passage into another country ?
