Sometimes you need to remind yourself just what Saddam's intentions were. He was fully prepared to go into SA and made an attempt at Al-Khafji, an outpost that guarded hundreds of Oil Tanks at Ras Turnira to the south and the naked (unguarded) USMC storage depots. We (the Saudis and our airpower) were lucky to stop him or he would have set that place ablaze or even worse engaged the Egyptian and Syrian forces which would have caused chaos for our flyers trying to decide which Russian tank was which. Add to this his devestation of the oil fields of Kuwait and murder of his own people and I think it is disengenuous to say "I hadn't noticed him attacking anyone in 12 years." His efforts in the past are enough to convict him many times over. He just needed a few allies as creepy as he was and the muslim fundamentalists were it.
