A LOOK INSIDE SADDAM'S BRUISED HEAD

Let's not forget why he's using the terrorist tactics, and how the "peace-loving" protesters have helped him make his decision not to flee Iraq:

Saddam had tailors stitch up 15,000 British and American uniforms so that disguised Iraqi troops could attack Iraqi civilians, allowing Saddam to blame the allies. The enormous antiwar demonstrations in the West prior to the fighting may have emboldened Saddam into thinking the Americans could be made to fold.

I've also heard too many reports lately of Saddam's suicidal hordes running without cover like madmen into the spray of 50 cal bullets. I'm sure bullets are being shot at their back as well to make them run forward. Looks like Saddam is contemplating Hitler's endgame. He may yet attempt to turn Baghdad into a chemical-biological soup.

Hussein intends to take shelter behind a mountain of Iraqi dead. But what makes this situation extremely dangerous is that scorched earth is not just tactics with this dictator.

Both Bushes have compared Saddam Hussein to Adolf Hitler. Such analogies are always imperfect. But in Iraq, U.S. policymakers should keep in mind Hitler's endgame. In March 1945, Hitler "condemned Germany to national death," according to historian Sebastian Haffner's "The Meaning of Hitler," because, in Hitler's words, "this nation has shown itself the weaker. ... What remains after this struggle are only the inferior, for the good have died in battle."
