I assume this question is why would Shi'ites not support Saddam whereas Sunnis would? Saddam terrorizes and bastardizes Shi'ites and Kurds. Saddam's support comes from Sunnis. One would only expect Sunni's to fight for Saddam.
However even conscript units that were ordered to surrender have instead ignored their orders and continued to fight Americans and Brits. They may not like Saddam. But many hate the invading Christian Crusader armies even more.
