Saddam knows that a first strike is a poor chance, but he may believe that success is not impossible, and it is the only one he has.

Of course it is the only one he has
Bush has said that saddam is going and he knows it

Wouldn't you pre-empt under that situation
What the hell else can he do ?

If this contingency hasn't been allowed for then Bush and his advisers are BOOBS and derelict in their duty to protect US troops Kuwait and Israel Citizens
And allowing a first strike would be a disaster
