Oh, I am not quite sure about that. Saddam is not a man who should be trifled with. There are certainly areas of lawlessness in Iraq, but I believe, they exist with his tact approval. For one reason or another. Why would he attack Kwait when he had a much larger area in Iraq that was not under his control? It doesn't make much sense to me. I propose that he has better C-cubed OPS than we give him credit for.

I don't think he can control it. The place sounds like Chechnya, or certain areas of Afghanistan.

The Kurds in Northern Iraq are the same group that Turkey frequently invades Iraq to fight. Turkey has actually established a base in Northern Iraq -- to Saddam's advantage, I'm sure, but it's difficult to see why Saddam would allow such an infringement of sovereignty.
