>>>37 American sailors were killed when an Iraqi Mirage fired two Exocet missiles into the USS Stark on May 17, 1987.<<<

Ironically, this was "friendly fire" during the Tanker War period.

>>>27 American troops were killed when an Iraqi SCUD missile hits a US barracks in Saudi Arabia on Feb 25, 1991.<<<

Most countries when engaged in a level of war, shoot back.

So let's rephrase the question: Has Saddam Hussein ever attacked America, with violence, not due to accident or from a response in war? Yes or no.

You are hilarious. In 1987 we were on Saddam's side against Iran. He was our ally and we armed him. He thought he was our friend.

In Kuwait we had already attacked him. I'm talking about a deliberate attack against the US, not self defense. Has Saddam ever attacked us? Nope.
