What excactly happened with saddam in '91......
besides getting his butt kicked once before???

he tried to take over Kuwait.
he invaded the country under the pretense that it was
a land that once belonged to iraq. (my history is fuzzy on this one-
there was land that was parceled al long time ago- later they
became countries-he was under the impression he could waltz in an take it over)
his army killed tortured and maimed quite a few people in Kuwait...

well,
A bunch of countries got together and kicked him out of Kuwait.
(GW's dad was the pres at that time!) that makes the score
BUSH (dad and son) 2, saddam 0.

while pulling out of Kuwait saddam blew up oil wells and opened up valves to pipelines to flood the Gulf with oil.

that's it in a nutshell, i am sure someone else can give you more and better information!!
