ITN Exclusive: Saddam Hussein Interviewed on the Eve of the Gulf War (1990)

In November 1990, ITN's Trevor McDonald travelled to Baghdad for an hour-long interview with Iraq's president, Saddam Hussein. Months earlier, on 2 August 1990, Saddam had sent Iraqi tanks across the border into Kuwait, subjected the country to a brutal military occupation, and declared Kuwait to be the 19th province of Iraq. The invasion of Kuwait was immediately met with international condemnation. King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, neighbouring Iraq and Kuwait, invited the US to station troops in the kingdom to protect against an Iraqi invasion. US President George HW Bush and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher responded by deploying troops to Saudi Arabia and urging other countries to follow suit. Within weeks, a US-led coalition of 35 countries was amassing military forces in the region in an operation named Desert Shield, while the United Nations was issuing resolutions calling for Iraq's withdrawal. At the time of Trevor McDonald's interview with Saddam, the Arabian peninsular was witnessing the build-up of the largest military alliance that had been formed since the Second World War.
In his interview, Saddam blamed the Kuwaiti royal family for the invasion, accusing them of conspiring against Iraq. Rejecting the idea that the international community was united in condemnation, Saddam denounced the US and the UK as aggressors who had goaded the United Nations Security Council into making "hasty resolutions" against Iraq. The Iraqi leader accused the United Nations of double standards, alleging inaction over the issue of Israel and Palestine, and accusing the US of conspiring against the Palestinians. When questioned by Trevor McDonald about reports of atrocities against Kuwaiti civilians, Saddam said he had heard nothing of such reports and stated they were probably false. He ended the interview by reasserting that Iraq was opposed not by a unified coalition but by the US and the UK, who had conspired with each other to bully and threaten the rest of the world into supporting their invasion of sacred Muslim lands.
Trevor McDonald's interview with Saddam Hussein is of enormous historical significance. It was recorded in the heat of an international crisis that would culminate in the launching of Operation Desert Storm and the expulsion of Iraqi forces from Kuwait. The enmity between Saddam and the West is one that would persist until the Iraqi Ba'ath regime was toppled following the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. And the sentiment expressed by Saddam in this 1991 interview that Britain and America were conspiring to invade Muslim nations found a receptive audience in nascent jihadi organisations in the region. When al-Qa`ida (Al Qaeda) leader Usama Bin Laden declared war on the United States nearly six years later, on 23 August 1996, he cited the continued military presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia ("the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holiest Sites") as his reason. In the years between the Gulf War and 9/11, the Iraqi regime was an international pariah and the subject of sanctions and weapons inspections. Only days after 11 September 2001, the Bush Administration raised Iraq as a potential target in its retaliatory War on Terror.

And still the same story is being recounted. I don't know what to say, this man was the only president in the 20th century who was brave enough to go out and speak up for his country and what the actual intentions of the west really were..

    Western governments and their brutal policies are what made the Arabs deeply hate America and Europe, especially Iraq, which was the first country in the Arab world before the American occupation and now has unfortunately become one of the backward countries. America, Britain and Europe had no intention of overthrowing Saddam, but Israel put strong pressure on America to overthrow Saddam because It constituted the greatest danger to them at that time, and it was a message to the Arab rulers that whoever was hostile to Israel would have a fate like Saddam and Gaddafi, and this is what actually happened, as the traitorous rulers of the Arab Gulf became mercenaries and servants of Israel, but the Arab peoples still maintain their firm position, which is hostility and hatred for Israel, and in the time that is coming A leader leading these angry crowds, believe me, will not show mercy to anyone because they have been subjected to terrible injustice during the past 80 years. The greatest danger to the entire world are (the Zionist Jews of Israel). All the destruction that occurred in the world over the centuries was because of them, even the invasion of Iraq was due to pressure from them on America, and every person who is hostile to Israel will die at the hands of America. Finally, do you know why America and Europe always stand by the Jews of Israel? Because they know that if Israel falls, the Zionist Jews will return again to Europe and America, which is what the West does not want, because this is a disaster for them. They got rid of the Zionists and established a homeland for them in Palestine to get rid of them, and they will always continue to support them so that they stay. Far from the West. In short, the West was suffering because of a dirty virus and got rid of this virus by throwing it on the Arabs and making them suffer from it until now.

    Saddam wasn't a good man, but he went to the gallows with immense bravery & dignity. No one could imagine the wretches that are Bush & Blair standing strong as Saddam Hussein did with a noose around his neck with a gang of religious bigots shouting abuse at him, he told them where to go & I respect his bravery & strength. Further, Kuwait a province was created out of Mesopotamia by our British elite ruling class & left Iraq virtually no sea access, ultimately what happened to Iraq over the 80 plus years was an absolute disgrace, such a noble people subjected to decades of terror by the deeds of the British state & the USA.

But the different Iraqi people got sanction and 1000000 kids die as result while Bush and U.S free from any punishment from the U.N even no one can question Bush today. By the way Sadam asked U.S ambassador in Baghdad about his conflict with Kuwait few days prior to his invasion and she said we don't care about Arabic vs Arabic conflict and U.S president want a good relationship with you. What does that mean to you?

    When I listened to this interview, what I was hearing again was that the American government can wage wars against anyone they feel like without any justifications. However, if any countries from the Arab world, Russia, China, and many others ever decide to only defend themselves against an oppressive state or country, then this is a way for the west to make others look bad to pursue whatever agenda, the U.S. might have (i.e., get oil, make money through the military complex, and so on). It's interesting to see how this works.

    Saddam Hussein was well and truly set up by the US. It was the US that told Kuwait (ordered more like) to lower its oil prices, this of course meant that Iraq could not sell its oil on the open market, losing huge and much needed revenue after their long war with Iran. Hussain made many attempts to reason with the Sabah, ruling family of Kuwait,but to no avail. He then summoned the US ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, and in the presence of his foreign minister Tariq Aziz, asked where would the US stand on this issue? He was told that they have no intention of getting involved in disputes between two Arab countries, which of course it's totally false. Was he set up? Of course he was. He was the only credible Arab leader to champion the Palestinian cause. Therefore he had to go.
