Saddam calls Israeli withdrawal tied to Kuwait as war looms
Saddam Hussein warned that Israel must withdraw from the West Bank and Gaza and Syria from Lebanon, tying any Iraqi pullout from Kuwait to Middle East moves. He threatened, many will be burned if war breaks out, and urged U.S. troops from Saudi Arabia be removed while rationing meat and clothing. Gen Schwarzkopf noted troop deployment pace and warned Iraqis would pay a price for attack.
