He went after Kuwait because he thought he had Bush I's approval to do so. Kuwait was as much protected by the US as was SA.....because both were repositories of what we love.....oil. Someone in the Bush administration gave Saddam the go ahead to attack. And then Bush I revoked it. Saddam didn't see it coming and got his ass in a sling. End of story. There was no "approval" by the Bush administration. As usual, you haven't a clue what you're talking about. April Glaspie confronted Saddam and Aziz at the time with pointed questions about why he was building up troops on the Kuwaiti border. They were told "We have no opinion on your Arab conflicts". Uh.....how would you interpret the statement: "We have no opinion on your Arab conflicts"?
