Tech - what you posted sounds more like a dialogue intent on fact-finding, not setting up a despot to later dispose of him. Looking at it deeper, it appears as if Bush I was, by the dialogue between Sadam and Amb. Glaspie, trying to avoid war with understanding. As I recall, our action against Iraq at the time involved the much larger concern of a destabilized Middle East once Iraq entered Kuwait. Besides which, as your document suggests, Iraqi troops had already lined up at the Kuwaiti border. Bush I didn't have a hand in that. I don't remember testimonies of babies being thrown out of incubators, but I do remember crudely painted signs that stated "Baby Milk Factory" displayed on Iraqi targets of agression after they were bombed.

Oh, and that the Iraqis used placards that spelled Bush "Bosh" when they protested his actions.
