American Strike Force
“There is another way for the bloodshed to stop: And that is for the Iraqi military and the Iraqi people to take matters into their own hands and force Saddam Hussein, the dictator, to step aside and then comply with the United Nations' resolutions and rejoin the family of peace-loving nations.”
President George H. W. Bush made this pronouncement on 15 February, 1991 prior to the one hundred hour war during which the US expelled Iraq from Kuwait.
Following the First Gulf War Shia Iraqis took President Bush at his word, rebelled against Saddam Hussein throughout Iraq. Initially successful, they were subsequently massacred by the dictator using helicopter gun ships sanctioned by the war’s end treaty.
Were you a Shiite Iraqi, what would you do following such devastating attacks upon your own family? How might you seek revenge and retaliation, Al-Thar?
