[…] oil supplies; to allow the US to evacuate its troops from Saudi Arabia, thereby removing a point of anti-American rage; to destroy an important regional threat to Israel; to make sure that Saddam could not acquire the capacity for nuclear blackmail after, France, Germany and other countries dismantled the UN embargo; to express America’s […]
