You're thesis makes no sense. Why would Saddam hire Islamic fundamentalists (who hate him) to attack the U.S.?
Saddam wants to survive. His goal is to get those sanctions lifted and get things back to the "good ol' days".
Why would he risk an ill-advised attack on America that ensures swift destruction for all culprits, including himself?
Saddam may be evil, but he's no fool.
This whole idea of an Iraqi connection, was dreamed up in Wolfowitz's office and leaked to the press.
The man is absolutely salivating at the prospect of toppling Saddam.
You're joking, right? These are the "good ol' days" for Saddam. He has consolidated power, continued building palaces, and ended hostilities with some of his erstwhile competitors in the Middle East.
Things just don't get any better than that when you're a sociopathic dictator.
