>>> There's at least as much reason to believe that Bush I and Co. planned on allowing Saddam his grand ideas because they a) wanted to have some fun destroying him (Powell 1990 said as much), and b) saw higher oil prices as a reasonable outcome for a time, as Ambassador Glaspie (July 25 1990) commented to Husayn "We have many Americans who would like to see the price go above $25 because they come from oil-producing states." <<<

Do you have a sorce for that Powell quote for my own records?
