Do whatever you want little man-you are going down and nothing can help you. There's a new sheriff in town.

1. Every move Saddam's military men makes will be second guessed by Saddam or his henchmen watching over them. It would be nearly impossible for field commanders to make timely efficient decisions. They have to watch their back as much as Americans. They cannot fight effectively even if they want to.
   
   
2. If they obey Saddam and launch WMD, they know they will be vaporized in a bright flash (a tactical nuke.)
   
   
3. Putin has his men in Iraq working officially as Luk Oil workers. But some of them may be more than oilfield workers. They could be Russian intelligence/Spetznaz operatives and military technicians. They gather enough intelligence about Iraq and send them back to Moscow. They can also help boobytrap oilfields and upgrade Iraqi air defenses. Or equally likely they can sabotage such boobytraps and air defenses. It all depends on whether Bush will accept Putin's terms. I think he will.
   
   
4. Desperate Saddam may be lured into a trap where he can launch a preemptive strike against American positions which turned out to be elaborate decoys. This will effectively kill any opposition against the invasion of Iraq.

These are what might be going on.

It should read:
"SADDAM SEEKS BRASS B...s"

If the pink d-ashole thinks Bush should bend over and give it an apology, then it's been hanging out in the gay community a little too long. The muslims aren't breaking down doors to make love.

The day after:

Saddam seeks...a cave to hide in

"WASHINGTON - Saddam Hussein has ordered top Iraqi military commanders and government officials to sign loyalty pledges promising to fight to the death to protect his regime from a U.S. invasion, The Post has learned."

Does Saddam actually believe that a signature on a piece of paper will motivate anyone to fight to the death for him?
