War on Land (24 to 28 February 1991)

Saddam Hussein: May God help us

When I started the ground war in February 24, 1991, Saddam seems more interested in Mounahi psychological and media to fight his interest in the flow of coalition forces in Iraq and Kuwait. Thus, it was clear that Iraqi officials are trying to cope with images that adopted by the Western media images of the war as a biased, relying on the ability of the Soviet Union to exert more diplomatic pressure to end the conflict.

And when it became clear that the Soviet peace initiative will not succeed, that Saddam was struggling with the military situation continued to deteriorate. He insisted on staying in Kuwait as long as there was an equal opportunity to succeed while working at the same time equipping the Iraqi government to face the invasion of Iraq. The Saddam and his advisers prepared to arm the Iraqi people and the destruction of facilities that can be used to facilitate the advancement of the alliance, and to fight in the end of the house to house in the hope that drives the fall of a large number of victims and Washington to abandon the war.

Before you begin the ground war, Saddam discussed his plans for the withdrawal of Iraqi forces from Kuwait (February 23, 1991)

Saddam: I would like to announce a clear statement: In the case that America and its allies have rejected the initiative of the Soviet Union the bad guys, and learned Iraqi News Agency that there will be cooperation with political and religious trends in Kuwait to establish a national democratic system.

Man 1: What are your expectations regarding the U.S. position in the coming days? Do you think they can try ..?

Saddam: I do not think that Americans will accept this project with such simplicity. Perhaps during that time trying to change another paragraph. This is the first point. The other point is that I am not comfortable to leave Kuwait during the first four days, Kuwait City, the City of Kazim. This is the status of our troops: Kuwait is situated on the ocean, and therefore, if we leave in four days, it will create a vacuum in our forces can the ruler of Kuwait, the U.S. Army to enter it. Thus, it is difficult to expect what to do next, where they can exploit that gap as a cover to harm our troops during the withdrawal.

Saddam: I have given my instructions. And sent a letter this morning.
