Ex-Joint Chiefs on Gulf Crisis
The U.N. resolution gave President Bush the “stick” with which to force Iraq to disgorge its conquest of Kuwait and free its people.
Now, what “carrot” is Secretary of State James Baker going to offer Iraq? Kuwaiti integrity? Israel’s destruction? American forgiveness of Iraq’s debts? Advanced nuclear bomb technology from France? More German help developing biological and poison gas capabilities?
Saddam’s demands can be endless!
