Best outcome for Saddam In Desert Storm

Don't think there's any scenario where Saddam actually wins or even gets a negotiated settlement but is there any way he could have forced a Iraq 2003 redux and given the Americans a bloody nose? Maybe draw their forces into Kuwait City and force the Americans to take it block by block?
 
He could have withdrawn.
Waited until close to the UN deadline and pulled out. Declared Iraq was bullied by the nefarious West working with Israel, 'spared' the Americans casualties and claimed to his people he had won by standing up to the Imperialists.
Madness I know but Saddam claimed victory in 1991 despite the defeat.
This Saddam Withdraws idea isn't mine: I once read that during Desert Shield, this was something thought likely at CENTCOM. It would leave the Americans with the issue of maintaining the military commitment in the Gulf less Saddam roll his army back into Kuwait a second time.
