One interesting bit of the article is how Saddam apparently put money aside for a guerilla war. That surprises me; Saddam is such a terrible gambler I figured he'd actually face the Americans head on. Setting up the insurgency (or at least sowing the seeds for it) shows a little more strategic depth than I'd give him credit for. Of course, he also spent most of a year in a hole growing a truly impressive beard, so maybe I'm wrong. :)
