goood one, revel.
doesn't make sense, does it ? you would have thought that with having the ability to drop a nuke anywhere in europe on 45 minutes lead time he would have taken some of us with him to make out with the 72 virgins or whatnot...
You would have thought that if Saddam didn't have WMD he would have come clean with UN weapons inspectors.
Well, Saddam turned out to be pretty crazy and really stupid. Well, perhaps not really. Perhaps this is exactly what he wanted to happen in his country. He obviously didn't give a rats arse about his own people, so why would he care about the welfare of the country they live in? He only gave them more freedom and liberties than in most Middle Eastern countries probably because it was his way of appeasing them just long enough for him to pillage their wealth.
I think trying to come up with a rational explanation as to why Saddam didn't come clean with the inspectors is impossible. He was obviously playing games with the West, and probably enjoying as well.
LOL
