Attacks like in Kuwait?

That's one that should be revisited because, in hindsight, it appears the
elder Bush MAY have set Saddam up. Yasee Saddam was strapped for cash after
fighting Iran's Muslim extremists to a draw and TWICE asked the US
Ambassador what the US would do if he annexed Kuwait. She twice told him
'Nothing, why would we care?'. But when he did all hell fell on him and
Bush's popularity skyrocketed. Of course the alternative is that Bush Sr
was too stupid to have done that. Look at his kid.
