In the context that Saddam was pretty much put in place by the CIA, propped up and given specific tasks to carry out at their behiest, the conversation is slightly colored.
Even on its own merits, the transcript says to me that the US all but greenlighted Saddam's invasion of Kuwait. I'm not sure how you could get anything else out of it.
