If he does something bad to innocent Americans he will see his country flattened and a lot of it's people taken out violently. If he sits back he will get strung up on a lightpole.

Hmm, if I was Saddam what would I do, hmmm. I got it, blackmail. Yep that's the ticket. He may very well already have his pieces in place and now simply waits for the moment of truth to make the ultimatum. I think the probability of this scenario playing out is very high. He seems to placid not to be holding a high card or two.

Interesting times indeed.

I agree. He has what he thinks is a strong hand or he would be playing his cards differently.
