There was this whole theory
at the time that Saddam had always
planned it this way. That he knew that his army would not
be able to resist the Americans, and so he had essentially...

for the insurgency, but he's actually running it. And so the idea was,
if we could capture Saddam, then the insurgency would die

There was this whole theory
at the time
00:00:03.006 --> 00:00:06.036
that Saddam had always
planned it this way.
00:00:08.052 --> 00:00:11.044
That he knew that his army would not
be able to resist the Americans,
00:00:11.044 --> 00:00:16.024
and so he had essentially...
planned for a guerrilla campaign.
00:00:18.056 --> 00:00:22.032
And...that he is, in fact, actually,
00:00:22.032 --> 00:00:25.008
not just the inspiration
for the insurgency,
00:00:25.008 --> 00:00:27.032
but he's actually running it.
00:00:27.032 --> 00:00:31.002
And so the idea was,
if we could capture Saddam,
00:00:31.002 --> 00:00:33.004
then the insurgency would die.
