I heard Schwarzkopf speak recently. I am not sure what he said in his book. But while speaking he said the US did not really have any choice but to stop once the UN mission of removing Iraqis from Kuwait was accomplished. I believe he used the phrase "we had to stop at the border" (although this would have been a euphemism) -- but whatever the exact phrase, he made it clear that the US would have been acting unilaterally if an invasion of Iraq and deposing of Saddam took place. Bob thinks we could have just walked right into Baghdad and shot Saddam with no questions asked about what gives us the right to do such a thing. Thank you for shedding a little light on what has been a rather fruitless discussion.
