a clear clarion signal to saddam hussein. you get out of kuwait. >> reporter: it was a signal backed up by half a million u.s. troops. the largest u.s. military operation since the vietnam war. the 1991 gulf war was a sweeping victory that then and later george h.w. bush saw as a moral imperative. >> you have to do it sometimes. good versus evil. when we're fighting saddam hussein i thought it was that clear. >> reporter: in the summer of 1990, the iraqi leader desperate for money after a disastrous eight-year war with iran invaded his much smaller and oil rich neighbor, kuwait. president bush ordered u.s. military deployments to the region to prevent iraq from going further. it was called operation desert shield. >> this will not stand. this will not stand this aggression against kuwait. >> he said it will not stand. now, that meant he was going to work diplomatically and bring out a huge coalition of political leaders together to force saddam hussein to leave, but it was also clear in my mind if that didn't work we'll go to

the role of american leadership in the world he was a defender of international order when saddam hussein invaded kuwait bush spoke eloquently to congress about the american responsibility to preserve and protect international order this had been a responsibility of united states soon after the war to when britain was no longer able to do that we said essentially that if there is a threat to international order or to humanitarian values the united states will lead because if we don't lead nothing will happen nothing will be done about it and he proved it into weight i think he will stand with that legacy forever but he also chose to leave saddam hussein in power off to getting involved in that conflict and that was a very controversial to says and how do you think and that's played us well it was controversial it's still controversial but i would depend that decision that he may win i think i know the reasons for one is that if we had overthrown saddam hussein we would be responsible for running and governing iraq for a long time that's what happened to his son who we had to run iraq afte

that decision that he may win i think i know the reasons for one is that if we had overthrown saddam hussein we would be responsible for running and governing iraq for a long time that's what happened to his son he had to run iraq at a real way through saddam hussein his father thought that was an odd wise move and really it was the second is you want iraq to be a counterweight to we were on a saddam hussein when he was leader of iraq for a long time for me to be wrong and he was it was really counterweight between two major powers in the middle east when saddam said he was overthrown in iraq really not with art there was no real counter which we won except saudi arabia or way on so he wanted to preserve the iraqi regime essential to counter the power of the growing power of iran and when saddam hussein was eventually removed from power iran became much much more influential but i want to read you something that george bush sr said after the end of the cold war he spoke about a new weld order he said a new world order can imagine new era free of from the threat of terror stronger in the purs

all to stop the aggression of saddam hussein. he knew hussein had to be stopped. it wasn't with us his moral fiber that he could not sit back and watch one country move into a smaller country. be aew there had to decision by america to lead this incredible coalition of countries. he also knew he had to get the american people behind him. thehat point, i was director of the white house office of legislative affairs. a lot of people were giving him advice not to seek approval from congress for that conflict. the fear was that congress would say no. there was a lot of pushback. the consensus was it had to be done. tobelieved it was important involve congress. he believed in the institutions of our democracy. he believed congress played an important role. as a world war ii vet, he wanted to get the american people behind us. theid not want to repeat mistakes of earlier conflicts such as vietnam when the american people were not with our troops. he wanted to go to congress to seek that approval. it was a fight. i was on this very floor trying to persuade people to do t

mahmoud hussein. went to egypt to visit his family north not on assignment and absolutely not i mean he actually says he left egypt the first time after the coup he never worked on egypt he was working in the newsroom on all the things he was not doing dealing with egypt even talking about him as being a part of certain protections it's completely false he was never with it that's one thing second for journalists i mean that mahmoud hussein is and is not the only one who is in jail i mean there are so many data journalists in egypt there are so many abuses many people many journalists were killed as you know in me since two thousand and thirteen i mean many of them. and directly is not free in egypt now there is no tolerance to any kind of position. and that is what has been going on for a long time in addition to that quite often there is no tolerance to neutrality you have to support the government otherwise you are considered the new enemy it's the slogan of george bush the old george bush you know

of kuwait who played a major role in defeating saddam hussein are rolling back the patience of coate and shouting in a new world order. based on. the will of the little off law of the role of the international institutions are gonna zation and reviving the united nations what that was comet was during the cold war an education to a shouting and you were the order that we are seeing the opposite today with the president trump multilateralism the international institutions he was quoted once president bush. george w. bush saying that we don't want to have america close but we have to have the world open to united states so his legacy i believe will be very remembered as one of the major statesman of the united states with the high quality and qualifications unmatched by any other president in our recent history could that legacy be better however had he listened to his military commanders read about ninety one ninety two and gone all the way to baghdad and instead of in effect cocooning saddam hussein in iraq for the first half of the one nine hundred ninety s. going after saddam husse

and all of a sudden saddam hussein invaded kuwait.it was august 1st, august 2nd, 1990 and there was enormous uncertainty what was going to happen next. with the iraqis, they were moving through kuwait like a knife through butter. there was nothing stoppy the iraqis through kuwait, and president bush, he had to make some critically important decisions. and he made very important decisions to send a very strong signal through the defense secretary, through the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general colin powell at the time, the u.s. was going to respond militarily. eventually as we all know in january of 1991 the u.s. did respond in operation desert shield became operation desert storm. and within a few weeks the air war had done its mission and then the ground war. kuwait was liberated. president george h.w. bush was clearly very popular as a result. u.s. troops -- and the u.s. deployed more than half a million troops in the persian gulf area to get the job done, and it was done relatively quickly and then the u.s. pulled out,

he was also criticised for others for not finishing saddam hussein leadership.? did he have any regrets at all about it goes back —— did he have any regrets about it? absolutely not. i don't think he thought it was in america's best interest to have a protracted war in the persian gulf. he told me first—hand that he felt that saddam hussein was a known devil, and that point he did not wa nt devil, and that point he did not want to destabilise it was ascertained that the best course of action was that mike ——... he also took the advice of his generals, and really the wise counsel behind him. he also i think embodied the spirit of bipartisanship in this country. the fact that he was able to reach out to president clinton, and work with him after the earthquake in haiti, and barbara bush often called him the odd couple by the way, and he was able to reach across the aisle, and even president trop today in his heartfelt tweet showed that i think you can put aside political rivalry, and come together for the greater good in this country, and i think that's how presid

>> i thought saddam hussein would fall of his own weight when the war ended.nd i thought they'd throw him out of there and they didn't. >> bush's post war popularity soared, then sank over economic concerns closer to home. in 1992, he lost to bill clinton, becoming a one-term president. >> i had my chance. i gave service to this country. and now i'm perfectly content to let history be the judge. >> george bush enjoyed an active retirement full of grandchildren, fishing, even skydiving. and he saw his eldest son become president. but he kept his advice to a minimum. and his son charted his own course. bush was no stranger cs but he aspired to a higher ideal. as when he teamed up with bill clinton on global relief efforts. >> you can be political opponents and still work together for something more important than your own political future. >> a former president for decades, he saw granddaughter jenna bush hager become a "today" show correspondent. >> what's aging like? >> aging's all right, it's better than the alternative. >> he saw republicans turn away from t

ellie suddenly became a single father to his young son hussein.the macho done to make them better as was the you know. what is your box of us are the almost none of. us had them they were down in the top of another being you know for me the most i want is in a lot more moving on. with and then there was you were going to move and they would rather go with it then walk along and she could show there were saw to be teletype god and she more than one hell of. a shot about this evolving we're going to have. the holy wired with us so that of those hairs. i only see them ellie and hussein now live with alleys parents. of the late tell you there was the door you know if you look at coney island because of why this was india and in the. model the body and i saw him a genie i mean i know that i love shows your idea. this week will. only go for the war but will charlotte was to the gills as. the militia lowers the thought of. all of those. waiting patiently to see dr moon is a civilian twenty two year old guard band from mosul it desperately wants smudges h

he also told me that he felt saddam hussein was and the one devil and he didn't want to destabilise theramatically after 911 india knighted states and i think at that point it was ascertained by george w bush to re—engage in the gulf region. president bush was very pragmatic and he also took the advice of his generals and the wise counsel behind him. he also, i think, generals and the wise counsel behind him. he also, ithink, embodied generals and the wise counsel behind him. he also, i think, embodied the spirit of bipartisanship in this country, the fact that he was able to reach out to president clinton and work with him after the earthquake in haiti. barbara bush often called them the odd couple, by the way. he was able to reach across the way. he was able to reach across the aisle and even president trump today in his heartfelt tweet showed that i think you can put aside political rivalry and come together for the greater good in this country. i think that aside president bush would like to be remembered. what were his musings on president trump and where his party is now, where's

it was peaceful as long as you do not interfere with saddam hussein and his party's business. in nine hundred ninety nine the young dr and his colleagues was suddenly faced with the brutality of saddam hussein's regime was confronted with three bus loads of the desert is scored by republican guards and by funny numbers and they ordered us to abandon the elected posts and start mutilating these army deserters by taking part of their ears off and that's when things changed. the head of the department refused openly and they took him outside to the car park and they put a bullet in his head. i was confronted with a decision would i. obey the commands and live with guilt for the rest of my life would i refuse and end up with a bullet in my head or would i run away and and i decided to run away. managed to get onto a boat to a strangely enough. it was taken to western australia's courage and detention center where he spent more than a year. stripped off my human identity i was marked with a permanent mark on my shoulder with the number ninety eight to carry that name for the rest o

he knew saddam hussein had to be stopped. it was within his moral fiber that he couldn't sit back and watch one country move into a smaller country, take over in this case the country of kuwait. so he knew there had to be decision by america to lead this incredible coalition of countries all around the middle east and the world. but he also knew that he had to get the american people behind him. i remember at that point i was director of the white house office of legislative affairs. our job was to ensure that we could support the president up here on the hill. a lot of people were giving hadn't advice not to seek approval from congress for that conflict. the fear was that congress would say no. there was a lot of pushback. and the consensus was it had to be done. but george bush believed that it was important to involve congress, for two reasons. one, he believed in the institutions of our democracy. he believed congress played an important role. second and maybe even more important to him, as a world war ii vet, he wanted t

are just interrupt you for a second when it comes down to that relationship early ninety's saddam hussein invaded kuwait fast forward a year or two from that the united states implicitly says to the kurds granted in iraq we will support you it will look up to rise up and they rose up the u.s. walked away phosphor which where we are today the united states has spent the past few years saying to the kurds we can work with you we will look after you oh by the way we're walking away if you're a kurdish politician or a kurd in that region be it in syria or indeed in iraq because that kind of crosses borders as well what are you thinking about u.s. involvement in your region right now now there's no doubt that kurds are very upset that they're not going to have an independent kurdistan in the north of syria and they hoped america could deliver that them. but we have to you know if we look at this in a larger context there is an independent kurdish region in the north of iraq today because america interceded made a no fly zone back them up the iraqi constitution states that the three provinces i

when he said if you or you are with us or you are against us and which is not the case why would hussein as they said was not working on issues at all he was working and just doing his job here if you are you should not be going to egypt things are better and they hope that happens soon however i would like to use but unity to call on the egyptian authorities to release mahmoud hussain with no conditions cuba's national assembly has agreed on the warning of a new draft constitution a referendum will be held in february on whether it'll be passed into law the document recognizes a right to own private profit property for the first time however it says a country will stay as centrally planned economy ruled by a single communist party and after pressure from the catholic church plans for legalizing same sex marriage where remotes. i think they are going to that is the fundamental laws we have approved reaffirms a revolutionary socialist back and allows the state and the people to work towards protecting our society it reinforces the prevalence of the constitution that ensures inclusion equa

called the must much hussein has now been held in pretrial detention for two years what is his crime. why hasn't he been tried yet why hasn't justice been applied in this case is he detained because he's a journalist as journalism become a crime have moles become a tool to silence wars of truth we will continue our news coverage with professionalism and impartiality our work will remain credible and accurate but journalism is not a crime incarcerating journalists is not acceptable we demand the immediate release of our colleague mahmoud to say and all journalists detained in a gyptian jails free mahmoud's and all his colleagues we stand for press freedom. well earlier we spoke to moustapha swaddle is the acting director general of the al-jazeera media network he says the input prison meant of mahmoud oh say it is a violation of egyptian law itself. hussein is in prison unjustly and for no reason except that he's a journalist so when you have an oppressive regime that doesn't like. media freedom that doesn't like journalists and specially they don't tackle does either because it has al

united states at the very time that you'll rumsfeld was meeting saddam you were meeting with saddam hussein i think we have some video of that. of that meeting tell me what was going on during this is what did you get this video from the iraqi television is on the wacky television when did they give it to you recently are we back then we dug this out of the c.n.n. library i see. isn't that interesting there i am. our war on terror. begins with al qaida. but it does not in. this very phrase war on terror is a rational line saying. a war on war. when the serious fraud office launched its investigation into the crimes that we were covering it turned out that many of these arms deals have been forced through by tony blair personally he said there's a case you don't send me. once you start a war. you open a kind of pandora's box you don't control it it controls you again in the fog and it's an advantage that i not myself and again the man carragher and i am. today there are good terrorists and bad the bad terrorists those in yemen who the united states deems to be a threat the good terrorists th

it was peaceful as long as you do not interfere with saddam hussein and his party's business. in nine hundred ninety nine the young dr and his colleagues was suddenly faced with the brutality of saddam hussein's regime was confronted with three bus loads of on the desert is scored by republican guards and by funding members and they ordered us to abandon the elected posts and start mutilating these army does it is by taking part of their ears off and that's when things change. the head of the department refused openly and they took him outside to the car park and they put a bullet in his head. i was confronted with a decision would i. obey the commands and live with guilt for the rest of my life would i refuse and end up with a bullet in my head or would i run away and and i decided to run away. manage to get onto a boat to a strange. he was taken to western australia's kerching detention center where he spent more than a year. stripped off my human identity i was marked with a permanent mark on my shoulder with a number two and i carried that name for the rest of the time tha

everybody knew sadaam hussein had to be kicked out of kuwait. he felt differently.had firm convictions that congress should be brought in, and through them the american people should be brought in so there would be more consensus about that conflict. in the end, david a you may remember, it was a very close vote. i was up on the hill working it. we won by thee votes. it was very close. but in retrospect it was the right thing to do and it reflected the fact he served in congress and understood congress and understood the role they could play. >> andy card, what are you reflections, in hindsight, it went easier than it did at the time. how stressful was it for you there in the white house? >> well, president bush thad a great respect for the institutions of our great democracy, including the institution of a two-party system. but he really did respect the role that article 1 has in our constitution, and that's the people's voice, that's the members of congress. here he was the head of the executive branch, article 2, and article 1 is always challenging article 2, and

from the swedish city of gothenburg frog nasir a yemeni exiled journalist good to have you with us hussein and let me start with you that you then i think it's fair to say that no one people are realistic about these this first round of talks no one is expecting peace to break out in in yemen anytime soon these are going to deal with sort of confidence building measures the prisoner swap getting more humanitarian aid into the country and so on how confident are you that there will be any sort of tangible success from these talks . exactly as you say don i think if the parties in sweden succeeded in building confidence. by like two to talk about how to a prisoner exchange how to keep the flow of humanitarian aid into yemen the opening of the ports and other humanitarian issue if they succeeded in solving this then we can see this as a good step they will solve other biggest block the security situation yemen the political situation the transition government but all this big issue they only will be told after build an image because what the boy has done which is different than the previous m

a lot of people were hurt in iraq and saddam hussein remained in power.very much 12 years tied together with the ronald reagan era. the cold war may have supposedly ended but in 1992, you we re supposedly ended but in 1992, you were talking about recession in the united states and the unrest in los angeles, to the point where that really wounded george bush when he lost the election. no matter how well prepared and qualified you may be for holding the highest public offices, you are partly determined by events and the events that george bush was dealing with were very unsettling ones. i think this may have been true for many politicians, america was trapped are most in the myth that it had won the cold war. when in fact there were many conflicts around the world that went beyond the united states and the soviet union. you can think about africa, for example, somalia, rwanda, they would become key conflicts at the end of the administration. latin america, where we had a whole range of issues with that continent. and you can think of the legacy of eastern e

remained in power until bush's son toppled him 12 years later. >> i thought saddam hussein would fall of his own weight when the war ended, and i thought they would throw him the hell out of there and they didn't. >> bush's post war popularity soared and sank over economic concerns closer to home. in 1992 he lost to bill clinton becoming a one-term president. >> i had my chance. i gave service to this country, and now, i'm perfectly content to let history be the judge. >> george bush enjoyed an active retirement full of grandchildren, fishing, even sky diving. and he saw his eldest son become president, but he kept his advice to a minimum and his son charted his own course. bush was no stranger to partisan politics, but he aspired to a higher idea as when he teamed up with bill clinton on global relief efforts. >> you can be political opponents and still work together for something more important than your own political future. >> a former president for decades, he saw granddaughter jenna bush haguer become a today show correspondent. >> what is a.g. like? >> better than the alternati

he knew what was necessary in order to push back on saddam hussein. he did was necessary but did not overdo it. he understands the cost of war. he understands it is hard not only on the service members but also on the families. i know that it was greatly appreciated, not only by the american people but by the international community and certainly, by the folks in kuwait that were obviously under a lot of stress and angst during that time. he was a great leader for the american people. i have high regards for him and again, my condolences. >> senator, we talk about a time when you could think of the reagan and bush ticket. the presidency and vice president. you had a conservative with a moderate. now a lot of folks are saying, the two sides can never reconcile the differences. that was proved than that they could and they did. and much as circling now with the president trump invited to the funeral and the family extending the invite. what do you think? >> i think it is a great thing to do. i'm glad that the president has accepted because of course, pr

foreign policy and i'm thinking here is as a rock and saddam hussein and how do you think that he's going to be remanded. well that's a very difficult question to answer because in a way yes the. first gulf war was a major part of his presidency and he did respond at that time in a particular way it was also the way in which he dealt with the live at least an issue for palestine israel for example he had a cheaper stuff can make a who was very aggressive in terms of pushing a different u.s. policy within that particular region it was the only time which a u.s. administration was very forceful in terms of israel's action in palestinian territories and that was something that he may be remembered for a period of time in which the u.s. administration while come to be supporting israel also made very clear that it would not supported unreservedly so there is a mixed legacy of george h.w. bush part of that of goes always seen as somebody who was quick to go to nation's defense but part of whom also would take a step back and consider the wider ramifications such as rule of law such as the idea
