But when you've lost everything, why should you care about that ?

We've got to presume Hussein felt he was going to survive. He did often brag about his survival ability. And this presumption is somewhat backed up by the fact that he was still in Iraq. I really started to suspect he had fleed the country.

You and me both, Coop. When your boys dug him up, I really thought the guy was as stupid as demented. Frankly, staying in-country near his homeland !

So, as I said earlier, maybe I'm trying to put more sense in Saddam's actions that there ever was. A guy crazy enough to hide in a hole, hoping he would be restored to power, is certainly crazy enough to lose his WMDs.
