He tried to assassinate former President Bush in 1993 in Kuwait.

So said the former Kuwaiti Ambassador in the US (you know, the guy whose daughter gave false testimony before Congress -- at the invitation of leftist Tom Lantos -- that Iraqis were ripping Kuwaiti babies from incubators.)

You are wrong and WOOLSEY is right - Saddam tried to kill Pres Bush in 1993. The FBI looked into this independently of the Kuwaitis and made those conclusions. there was a lot of evidence tying the wouldbe trigger-man to the Iraqi intelligence services. Coming over from the iraqi border just one of the many clues!!
