If I let myself wander around a bit in Saddam's shoes, I come away with a disturbing set of truths.
Saddam considers himself righteously aggrieved by the United States in general and George Bush, et al in particular. His sons have been killed, he has been deposed from power, he has lost the source of his wealth although, of course, great wealth could be and probably is stashed elsewhere. Almost everything he treasured is in ruins.
So what now? If I had those perceptions of grievance, I think I might become extrodinarily angry, embittered, and raging. IF I had a suitcase nuke stashed somewhere, I would probably consider using it. And not just anywhere, either. At a very particular place.
So, if Saddam had these awful weapons, we can, IMO, expect a harsh reprisal from Saddam. If such a reprisal doesn't occur, could that mean that he had none of those weapons at all?
BTW, if you were Saddam, where you place the suitcase? The answer is as obvious as the gin-blossoms on Bonehead's cheeks.
