Richard now briefed me on the developing situation, and suggested that I phone Saddam Hussein to try to convince him not to attack. As we spoke, Brent took a call from Bob Kimmit of the State Department and learned that our embassy was reporting shooting in downtown Kuwait City. “So much for calling Saddam,” I said, shaking my head. Brent and Richard left to find out more about what was happening.
