This is one of those unique moments in history when the personality and
political behavior of one key political actor are of determinative
significance. The answers to many of the key questions with which this
committee is grappling depend upon a clear understanding of the motivations,
perceptions and decisionmaking of Saddam Hussein. To provide a framework for
this complex political leader, a comprehensive political psychology profile
has been developed.
Saddam Hussein, President of Iraq, has been characterized as "the madman of
the Middle East." This pejorative diagnosis is not only inaccurate but is also
dangerous. Consigning Saddam to the realm of madness can mislead
decisionmakers into believing he is unpredictable when in fact he is not. An
examination of the record of Saddam Hussein's leadership of Iraq for the past
twenty two years reveals a judicious political calculator, who is by no means
irrational, but is dangerous to the extreme.

Saddam Hussein, "the great struggler," has explained the extremity of his
actions as President of Iraq as necessary to achieve "subjective immunity"
against foreign plots and influences. All actions of the revolution are
justified by the "exceptionalism of revolutionary needs." In fact, an
examination of Saddam Hussein's life and career reveals this is but the
ideological rationalization for a lifelong pattern: all actions are justified
if they are in the service of furthering Saddam Hussein's needs and ambitions.

Saddam Hussein was born in 1937 to a poor peasant family near Tikrit in
central Iraq. His father died before he was born, and in keeping with
tradition, a paternal uncle married his mother. From early years on, Saddam,
whose name means "the fighter who stands steadfast," charted his own course
and would not accept limits. When Saddam was only 10, he was impressed by a
visit from his cousin who knew how to read and write. He confronted his family
with his wish to become educated, and when they turned him down, he left his
home in the middle of the night, making his way to the home of his maternal
uncle Kairallah in Tikrit.

Kairallah was to become not only Saddam's father figure but his political
mentor as well. Kairallah had fought against Great Britain in the Iraqi
uprising of 1941 and had spent five years in prison for his nationalist
agitation. He filled the impressionable young boy's head with tales of his
heroic relatives

Nothing must be permitted to stand in "the great struggler's" messianic path
as he pursues his (and Iraq's) revolutionary destiny, as exemplified by this
extract from Saddam Hussein's remarkable "Victory Day" message of 6 August

This is the only way to deal with these despicable Croesuses who relished
possession to destroy devotion...who were guided by the foreigner instead of
being guided by virtuous standards, principles of pan-Arabism, and the creed
of humanitarianism....The second of August...is the legitimate newborn child
of the struggle, patience and perseverance of the Kuwaiti people, which was
crowned by revolutionary action on that immortal day. The newborn child was
born of a legitimate father and an immaculate mother. Greetings to the makers
of the second of August whose efforts God has blessed. They have achieved one
of the brightest, most promising and most principled national and pan-Arab
acts.

Two August has come as a very violent response to the harm that the foreigner
had wanted to perpetrate against Iraq and the nation. The Croesus of Kuwait
and his aides became the obedient, humiliated and treacherous dependents of
that foreigner...What took place on 2 August was inevitable so that death
might not prevail over life, so that those who were capable of ascending to
the peak would not be brought down to the abysmal precipice, so that
corruption and remoteness from God would not spread to the majority...Honor
will be kept in Mesopotamia so that Iraq will be the pride of the Arabs, their
protector, and their model of noble values.

Hussein's practice of revolutionary opportunism has another important
characteristic. Just as previous commitments must not be permitted to stand in
the way of Saddam's messianic path, neither should one persist in a particular
course of action if it proves to be counter-productive for him and his nation.
When he pursues a course of action, he pursues it fully, and if he meets
initial resistance, he will struggle all the harder, convinced of the
correctness of his judgments. But if circumstances demonstrated that he
miscalculated, he is capable of reversing his course. In these circumstances
he does not acknowledge he has erred, but rather views himself as adapting
flexibly to a dynamic situation...

The labels "madman of the Middle East" and "megalomaniac" are often affixed to
Saddam, but in fact there is no evidence that he is suffering from a psychotic
disorder. He is not impulsive, only acts after judicious consideration, and
can be extremely patient, indeed uses time as a weapon.

While he is psychologically in touch with reality, he is often politically out
of touch with reality. Saddam's world view is narrow and distorted, and he has
scant experience out of the Arab world. His only sustained experience with non-
Arabs was with his Soviet military advisors and he reportedly had one brief
trip to France in 1976. Moreover, he is surrounded by sycophants, who are
cowed by Saddam's well founded reputation for brutality and are afraid to
contradict him. He has ruthlessly eliminated perceived threats to his power
and equates criticism with disloyalty. At one time early in his presidency, he
identified 500 Communist party members for execution and had his senior
officials form the execution squads. In 1979, when he fully assumed the reins
of Iraqi leadership, one of his first acts was to execute twenty-one senior
officials whose loyalty he questioned. In 1982, when the war with Iran was
going very badly for Iraq and Saddam wished to terminate hostilities,
Khomeini, who was personally fixated on Saddam, insisted there could be no
peace until Saddam was removed from power. At a cabinet meeting, Saddam asked
his ministers to candidly give their advice, and the Minister of Health
suggested Saddam temporarily step down, to resume the presidency after peace
had been established. Saddam reportedly thanked him for his candor and ordered
his arrest. His wife pled for her husband's return. The next day, Saddam
returned her husband's body to her in a black canvas bag, chopped into pieces.
This powerfully concentrated the attention of the other ministers who were
unanimous in their insistence that Saddam remain in power. Thus he is deprived
of the check of wise counsel from his leadership circle. This combination of
limited international perspective and a sycophantic leadership circle has led
him to miscalculate in the past.

Saddam's pursuit of power for himself and Iraq is boundless. In fact, in his
mind, the destiny of Saddam and Iraq are one and indistinguishable. His
exalted self concept is fused with his Ba'thist political ideology. Ba'thist
dreams will be realized when the Arab nation is unified under one strong
leader. In Saddam's mind, he is destined for that role.

In pursuit of his messianic dreams, there is no evidence he is constrained by
conscience; his only loyalty is to Saddam Hussein. In pursuing his goals,
Saddam uses aggression instrumentally. He uses whatever force is necessary,
and will, if he deems it expedient, go to extremes of violence, including the
use of weapons of mass destruction. His unconstrained aggression is
instrumental in pursuing his goals, but it is at the same time defensive
aggression, for his grandiose façade masks underlying insecurity. While
Hussein is not psychotic, he has a strong paranoid orientation. He is ready
for retaliation and, not without reason, sees himself as surrounded by
enemies. But he ignores his role in creating those enemies, and righteously
threatens his targets. The conspiracy theories he spins are not merely for
popular consumption in the Arab world, but genuinely reflect his paranoid
mindset. He is convinced that the United States, Israel and Iran have been in
league for the purpose of eliminating him, and finds a persuasive chain of
evidence for this conclusion. His minister of information, Latif Hassif Jasin,
who is responsible for propaganda and public statements, probably helps
reinforce Saddam's paranoid disposition and in a sense is the implementer of
his paranoia.

It is this political personality constellation--messianic ambition for
unlimited power, absence of conscience, unconstrained aggression, and a
paranoid outlook--which make Saddam so dangerous. Conceptualized as malignant
narcissism, this is the personality configuration of the destructive
charismatic who unifies and rallies his downtrodden supporters by blaming
outside enemies. While Saddam is not charismatic, this psychological stance is
the basis of Saddam's particular appeal to the Palestinians who see him as a
strongman who shares their intense anti-Zionism and will champion their cause.

Saddam Hussein genuinely sees himself as one of the great leaders of history,
ranking himself with Nasser, Castro, Tito, Ho Chi Minh, and Mao Zedong, each
of whom he admires for adapting socialism to his environment, free of foreign
domination. Saddam sees himself as transforming his society. He believes youth
must be "fashioned" to "safeguard the future" and that Iraqi children must be
transformed into a "radiating light that will expel" traditional family
backwardness. Like Mao, Saddam has encouraged youth to inform on their
parents' anti-revolutionary activity. As God-like status was ascribed to Mao,
and giant pictures and statues of him were placed throughout China, so too
giant pictures and statues of Saddam abound in Iraq. Asked about this cult of
personality, Saddam shrugs and says he "cannot help it if that is what they
want to do."

Saddam Hussein is so consumed with his messianic mission that he probably
overreads the degree of his support in the rest of the Arab world. He
psychologically assumes that many in the Arab world, especially the
downtrodden, share his views and see hi
