Iraq was indeed claiming that the Rumallah oil field which overlapped the
Iraq/Kuwait border was being drained by Kuwait. Iraq also said that Kuwait
was using horizontal drilling to first deplete the Iraqi portion. Kuwait
denied this but since Iraq declined to develop the field on a unitized basis,
it had no basis for complaint unless it could prove the encroachment of the
slant drilling. Saddam met with April Glaspie of the State Department, i.e.
she worked for Jim Baker III. When Saddam asked the key question, Glaspie was
ready - she had received her instructions.
Saddam asked if the US would settle the matter in favor of Iraq. Glaspie
replied to the effect that the US would not involve itself in a border
dispute, she pointedly stated that there would be no interference from the US.
IMO Perot had it right. He said that Bush was shocked when Saddam took the
whole country, which included, for example, the key rights of Zapata, instead
of the Rumallah area only as Bush and his foreign policy geniuses expected.
Bush was ticked. There was misunderstanding. There is no reason to believe
that Bush "suckered" Saddam into anything. Let's not forget that the foolish
Saddam had blithely launched an eight year war against Iran.
