When the Kuwaitis went back on their word to recompense Saddam for the Iranian campaign and started shenanigans with the oil fields on the two countries borders, Saddam was justifiably pissed.

After we saved the perverted swishy sheiks of Kuwait ( an American GI was tasked with rescrewing newly procured gold faucets in the royal palace) we abandoned the rebels of Iraq per orders from our masters, the Saudis, as conveyed to Papa Bush.

In a rational world, we'd have wasted the Saudi royals by now.

We (the USA) are now spending 50% of the money on defense world wide. I don't know what it was in 1990, but it was considerable.

I'm sure if we had applied the proper pressure back in that time frame, Saddam would have gotten the message, would not have attacked Kuwait, would not have tried to kill Bush Sr. back in '93 and would not have supported various other anti-American plots that are costing us plenty.

If all the people who've posted on this thread (maybe not you) think Saddam is not involved with 9/11, why are we getting ready to kick his butt and depose him?

They know that too.
