IMO I think they thought Saddem was weakened and there was a good chance he would fall

That is exactly what they thought, but we had commited over 500,000 troops to the battle. H.W. should have taken the chance of breaking the coalition (which never would have happened) and taken out the government (Saddam). I took part in Desert Storm, but voted for Ross Perot just because of that lack of leadership.

Because whether we like it or not .. at the time the United States is not in the business of assassinating a President of another Country .. That would make us no better then saddem and this Country is better then that

And whether we like it or not he is their President

it is not just that easy and yes AT THE TIME he was weakend and with the proper amount of pressure I can see how they thought Saddam could be toppled

Unfortunately that didn't happen for many many reasons and now he will be dealt with
