PS: Along the same lines... I would like for someone to tell me why Saddam "scudded" the Jews to begin with. Was it:
1) Some real or imagined action by the Jews that made Saddam feel as if they were participants in the conflict?
2) A kind of blackmail intended to get us off his back? ("Hey man, either you back off or I'll shoot missles at your friends")
3) An attempt to exploit political and racial issues in the region (the ever present Jew/Musim friction) thus drawing others into the conflict who would otherwise have no reason to intervene?
?

Can you answer #6 for me?
It's something I have always wondered about.

Not just in the region, but worldwide support from "jew haters" everywhere!

"I would like for someone to tell me why Saddam "scudded" the Jews to begin with." The correct answer is "?".
Saddam was almost certainly trying to draw Israel actively into the war. Which, in his mind, may have caused the Arab members of the coalition (Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, etc.) to defect.
