CONGRESSMAN RON PAUL: Classified Cable Proves US Ok
Oh, the old "April Glaspee" conspiracy. I think Ross Perot said this in 1992, and it's usually a train to crazy town.
The thing is, we didn't have a formal alliance with Kuwait at that time, and we didn't have a side in that fight,w hich was initially over control of just the Rumelia oil fields.
April Glaspie is on record saying exactly what she said to Saddam Hussien when he made it clear Iraq was going to invade Kuwait. In fact, later she stated that she thought the Iraqis were going to take a port town..and not the whole country.
And a port town was none of our business. When he took the whole country, he was in violation of the UN charter, thus cause for war.
Can't feel that bad for Kuwait. They and the Saudis bankrolled Saddam's war against Iran. They raised a rabid pit bull and wonder why they got mauled. But Saddam stepped over the line, and the UN, which you liberals all claim is soooo effin' holy, authorized force to remove him from Kuwait.
