I guess Saddam and his army planned to fight a guerrilla war from the start... just leave a bit of cannon fodder here and there to allow reorganizing, and then sting the enemy. After all, this tactics is the only one that makes sense: frontal battle against US hardware would have been a suicide.
Also, anti-war movements in the west are the best weapon saddam has: just hold on until the invaders get scared by the casualties and leave under the pressure of their public opinion.
Oh, and don't forget that anti-US & islamistic movements all around the world are organizing to fight in Iraq - the escalation in the attacks is also due to the big flow of kamikazes, terrorists and terrorist masterminds that has flown to Iraq. Their final aim is not the same as SAddam's, but the means are identical: create chaos and block reconstruction, to fuel hate against the Americans.
