I remember reading about that interview between us and the Iraqi rep just before the first Gulf War that involved our rep sliding an envelope (from Bush 1) across the table to the other. It read something to the effect that if one toe of the Iraqi army crossed the border to Saudi they would be nuked. It brought fear to the eyes of the rep. Sorry that I can't remember the individuals involved.

I remember something similar .... also the Iraqi army did have orders to do just that, but the Kuwaitis kept them busy long enough to stop that plan.

This was true. I believe it was Tariq Aziz who the message was delivered to. Although, I think the message was that if Iraq used any WMD against coalition troops, Iraq would cease to exsist as we would use nuclear weapons.
