Saddam interpreter: I invaded Kuwait because Emir insulted our women.

[Hart2008]

Well so much for the Bush meme that Saddam wanted to conquer the world.

During the buildup to the invasion, Iraq had accused Kuwait of flooding the world market with oil and demanded compensation for oil produced from a disputed area on the border of the two countries.

Piro said that Al Sabah told the foreign minister of Iraq during a discussion aimed at resolving some of those conflicts that "he would not stop doing what he was doing until he turned every Iraqi woman into a $10 prostitute. And that really sealed it for him, to invade Kuwait," said Piro.

Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction:
