Iraq "aggressed" against Kuwait, amongst others, of course..."

Iraq "aggressed" against Kuwait, amongst others, with the full knowledge and support of the United States.
Saddam Hussein even asked permission of the United States ambassador to Iraq, and waited for her to give that permission BEFORE attacking Kuwait.
Presuming, for the sake of argument, that is a fact -- if "permission" of the US was so desired, why did Saddam refuse to evacuate Kuwait after the US withdrew it?
If you wish to invest in the idea that Saddam was April Glaspie's lapdog, when her higher-ups overruled her and pulled on the reigns, why did he resist?
