Michelle Walling – Gulf War I was a set-up. Saddam Hussein asked us. He was strapped for cash from the Iran-Iraq War. He had received a $5 billion loan at the direction of our own government (through Baker and Kissinger), that he otherwise would not have qualified for, and couldn’t pay it back (as expected). The invasion of Kuwait was the only option he had left, assuming that he didn’t want his government to suffer a complete economic collapse.
Kuwait had once belonged to Iraq. Saddam did not intend to destroy it. He only wanted it to be part of Iraq. He made his intentions very clear before the invasion.
On July 25th 1990 he had asked us our position before invading, through our U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie, who told him, “ I have direct instructions from President Bush (Senior) to improve our relations with Iraq. We have considerable sympathy for your quest for higher oil prices…we have no opinion on your Arab-Arab conflicts, like your dispute with Kuwait…Secretary Baker has directed me to emphasize the instruction, first given to Iraq in the 1960’s, that the Kuwait issue is not associated with America.”

In short,we said, through both the President and the Secretary of State that “whatever you want to do with Kuwait is OK with us”.
Immediately after Saddam invaded Kuwait, the U.S. responded by freezing Iraq’s assets, warning Saudi Arabia that he was out of control, and began preparations for war.
April Glaspie was silenced. The public was never told of the treachery of Baker and Bush. Saddam Hussein was set up.
