Sorry, you assertion is not in evidence.
Rush is saying that Saddam is building toward nuclear confrontation, not that he's there yet. The way Saddam would gain power would be in ways that would not bring about his demise at the hands of the US military, but would use his WMD's against neighbors and his own internal opposition, while tying US hands via the UN, its security council and countries like our former NATO allies.
Both Kim Jong Il and Saddam desire to survive. Neither man gives much of a hoot about his suffering constituents. Saddam may think that if he does provoke an atomic retaliation he will be able to survive by being underground, but he'll be easy to flush out with something akin to water down a gopher hole.
Saddam is intent on stopping our attack, because he knows that if it comes, he's ultimately toast. He's probably already given the conditional orders to unleash the Pandora's box he's booby-trapped, however. That will probably be part of our ten year war, and is one of the real foci and reasons we can wait no longer. How much will we have to sacrifice to win that war? That depends how much extra time and misdirection people like you cost us.
You say Bush and Rumsfeld have fevered brains? All unbiased evidence shows you to be clearly delusional.
