Saddam prepared for war. I had
hoped that when the United
States Congress, in historic debate, took its resolute action,
Saddam would realize he could
not prevail and would move out of
Kuwait In accord with the United
Natlonaresolutlons. He did not do
that. Instead, he remained Intranslgent, certain that time was
on his side.

Saddam was warned over and

will of the United Nations: Leave
Kuwait or be driven out. $addam

says, "Let's free these people so

again." He's right. The terrtbie
crimes and tortures commlted
by Saddam's henchmen against
the Innocent people of KIIWaltare
an affront to mankind and a
challenge to the freedom of all.
Listen to , one of our great
officers out there, Marine Lt.
Gen .. Walter Boomer. He said, ·
"There are things worth fighting
