Oh it was tried during Gulf One to drop LGB onto Saddam, the problem was that he moved about way too much. Used modes of transport below his station as head of state (buses, taxis, ambulences etc). Even if Iron Maggie had been PM at the time of Gulf One, Saddam would still have been in power. The UN resolution for war clearly stated that one Iraqi forces where ejected for Kuaite (sp - its late and I'm very tired), then offensive military operations where to be curtailed.

And thats pretty much what did happen. As soon as signifigant numbers of coatilion troops had gotten into contact with the Corps of Republican Guard north of the Iraq/ Kuatie boarder the Iraqis called for a ceasefire. I should know, I was in command of an AVRE in 1st UK Armoured Division attatched to 7th Armoured Brigade (The Desert Rats).
