SATA Time Capsule #1

Gulf War Memories in the Words of Those Who Were There!

Remember the war against Saddam?  We do too!  That's why we've worked hard to bring you this, the first of what we hope will be many SATA Time Capsules.

Cast your mind back more than a decade....  Where were you when all the important people were speaking out in favor or against the "War in the Gulf"?  Where were you when you first heard the chilling words of Saddam and the inspiring words of the western Generals?

Just for fun, take out a pad and pencil and have a go at solving the puzzle below.  Send in your answers to the address at the bottom of this page and we'll get back to you shortly with your score!

Norman Schwartzkopf	"We are becoming mercenaries. We are just being paid by other people to go and fight. We are back in the 14th century with the Crusades."
Colin Powell	"The unjust people will be defeated after shedding their foul blood and the severed members of the bodies of their supporters will be left as food for birds of prey."
British Military Leader	"There doesn't seem, to many of us, to be advantages in going on with this inhuman bombing. I should be in the pub by the end of the month."
French Political Leader	"I fear we are moving to a merciless hell. All this will not prevent a fate where cities will collapse and the mutilated bodies of victims will be scattered in seas of blood."
P. J. O'Rourke	"How shamed will be the Arabs who let Arab blood be spilt in this unjust war."
British Political Leader	"Don't worry about Kuwait--it's a piece of dirt."
Pro-American Arab King	"If you're going to piss on a tree, you'd better be a pretty big dog."
Margaret Thatcher	"To be against this war and to expose the lies and hypocrisy of those who prosecute it is not in any way to appease a tyrant, or to be on any fringe."
Saddam Hussein	"Kuwait is not a country, it is a country club."
George Bush	"You have faced the whole world, brave Iraqis... you are victorious."
