weapons,
would
I
have
let
United
States
forces
stay
in
Kuwait
without
attacking?
I wish
the
United
States
did
not
have
the
intention
to
attack
Iraq."
IS;
when
questioned
whether
the
Iraqi
invasion of
Kuwait,
which
led
to
war
with
the
United
States,
also
precipitated
the
sanctions
against
Iraq,
Hussein
asked,
"I
ask
you
as
an
American,
when
did
the
United
States
stop
shipments
of
grain
to
Iraq?
In 1989.
When
did
the
European
countries
to
boycott
sales
of
Iraq? In
1989.
The
United
States
was
an
intention
pushed
by
Zionism
and
the
elections
in
the
United
States."
This
United
States
contact
technological
equipment
to
planning
to
destroy
Iraq,
effect
of
Zionism
on
US
"plan"
was
also
influenced
by
countries
located
near
Iraq,
particularly
Israel,
which
viewed
Iraq
as
a
dangerous
military
threat
upon
conclusion
of
the
IranIraq
War.
Hussein
stated
much."
Regarding
Kuwait
and
the
I
believe
this
very
war,
Hussein
stated,
"It
is
difficult
to
avoid
someone
who
is
armed
and
standing
outside
your
house
unless
you
come
out
and
shoot."
As
Iraq
is
a
small
country,
it
was
difficult
to
stop
the
United
States
no
matter
what
steps
were
taken.
>§!
Leading
up
to
the
most
recent
war,
the
United
States
provided
much
"history"
to
the
world
regarding
Iraq.
Hussein
stated,
"It
was
difficult
for
me,
or
any
honorable
person,
not
to
attempt
to
stop
the
United
States
from
entering
Iraq."
>é
Regarding
providing
his
personal
observations
versus
his
opinions
as
President
of
Iraq,
Hussein
stated,
"There
is
nothing
I
consider
personal.
I
cannot
forget
my
capacity
as
President.
This
is
what
I know
and
am
convinced
of.
Thus,
it is
difficult
to
answer
from
a
personal
viewpoint.
I
cannot
forget
my role
and
principles
for
one
second,
and
forget
what
I was."
:H§!
At
the
end
of
the
interview,
Hussein
was
again
asked
about
his
movements
after
the
beginning
of
the
war
in
March,
2003.
Hussein
stated
he
was
not
in
the
Dora
neighborhood
of
Baghdad
on
March
19,
2003
when
it
was
bombed
by coalition
forces.
Hussein
added
that
he
was
not
in
this
neighborhood
in
the
ten
days
before
this
attack
or
at
any
time
