What a waste of men and money. At least Hussein was a counter balance to Irrran. Ain’t hindsight wonderful?

Lesson learned...Never get involved in another intra-Arab squabble again, like we did in the first Gulf War.

And also, we need to gain our independence from any resources in that region...it isn’t worth it.

Too bad he had to go and start trading his oil for Euros.

Europe's dream of promoting the euro as a competitor to the U.S. dollar may get a boost from SADDAM HUSSEIN. Iraq says that from now on, it wants payments for its oil in euros, despite the fact that the battered European currency unit, which used to be worth quite a bit more than $1, has dropped to about 82[cents]. Iraq says it will no longer accept dollars for oil because it does not want to deal "in the currency of the enemy."

From Time magazine-dated Monday, Nov. 13, 2000.
