April Catherine Glaspie (born April 26, 1942) is an American former diplomat and senior member of the Foreign Service, best known for her role in the events leading up to the Gulf War.
President Bush is an intelligent man. He is not going to declare an economic war against Iraq. [. . . ] I admire your extraordinary efforts to rebuild your country. I know you need funds. We understand that, and our opinion is that you should have the opportunity to rebuild your country. But we have no opinion on Arab-Arab conflicts like your border disagreement with Kuwait.
We foolishly did not realize Saddam was stupid.
Obviously, I didn't think, and nobody else did, that the Iraqis were going to take ALL of Kuwait.
