What about Nebuchadnezzar?

He died several thousand years ago, notwithstanding the claims of the Iraqi Information Minister...

I don't see how Saddam could get another division down from the North in time, but Strategy Page.com says so.

And, IIRC, before his death Nebuchadnezzar went nuts and crawled around on his hands and knees eating grass for seven years.

Great role model for Saddam.

After he saw the hand writing on the wall

Dan. 5:5 5Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote.
Dan. 5:6 His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his knees knocked together and his legs gave way.

No, that was his son Belshazzar.

THAT's a warning to Uday and Qusay, it seems to me.

Assuming that ANY of them are still above room temperature (a question open to some doubt).
