We apologize to God for any deed which might have angered Him and ... we apologize to you as well on this basis,” he said in a speech read out on his behalf on state television by Information Minister Mohammad Said Al-Sahhaf.

“We regret all that happened to you as a result of the position you took” in the run-up to the invasion, Saddam told the Kuwaiti people, slamming their leaders for pushing down the price of oil from 21 to seven dollars a barrel by “drowning the oil market” at the time.

Referring to the presence of US troops, Saddam said Kuwait was under “direct foreign military occupation” and went on to hail “devout youth who carry arms against the occupier” — an apparent reference to Kuwaiti militants who recently attacked US forces in Kuwait. He urged the Kuwaiti people to join Iraq in resisting the occupation of foreign forces. Kuwaiti lawmakers and observers ridiculed Saddam’s speech to the Kuwaiti people saying it was provocative and threatened the emirate’s leaders.

Of course it was evident before, but here we have the utterance that literally defines "pathology," and its subcategory "narcissism."
