Was Saddam a president when he was caught?
[1] Saddam Hussein was the fifth President of Iraq. His term began on July 16, 1979. [2] And the United States considered it ended on April 9, 2003. For that was the date on which American forces took control of the capital city of Baghdad. [3] But Saddam Hussein and his lawyers didn't share that opinion. They challenged, albeit without success, the legality of the Special Tribunal by which he was tried and sentenced to death by hanging. For their opinion was that Saddam Hussein never stopped being their country's President.
Why did Saddam Hussein resign?
Saddam Hussein never resigned. If you read the transcripts from the criminal proceedings against him (constituted by the US-led Iraqi Authorities), Saddam Hussein repeatedly argues that as the still-reigning President of Iraq, he declares these proceedings in violation of Iraqi law. Saddam was pushed out of power by military force, but never officially resigned his presidency.

Why did George Bush say Nelson Mandela is dead?
At a press conference on September 20, 2007, George Bush said: "I heard somebody say, 'Where's Mandela?' Well, Mandela's dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas." Media soundbites that broadcast only the above quote, were misinterpreted by the public as a statement by George Bush that Saddam Hussein had killed Nelson Mandela. Bush was intending to explain that it was necessary for a continued U.S. presence in Iraq, because Saddam Hussein had executed anyone who could have potentially emerged as a leader to unite the country (in the way Nelson Mandela had in South Africa). Bush's remark was criticized for being inarticulate, insensitive to South Africans (because of Mandela's advancing age and deteriorating health), and for narrow-mindedly assuming that Iraq lacked anyone with leadership potential.
What is Kuwait known for?
It is most famous for being the country Iraq annexed in 1991, sparking the Gulf War which forced the government of Saddam Hussein to withdraw and recognize Kuwait's sovereignty as an independent nation. Kuwait is also known for its vast oil reserves, and for being an Arab country in the Persian Gulf.
Why didn't the US take Saddam out of power at desert storm?
First, that wasn't the mission. The UN only sanctioned a mission to dislodge Iraqi forces from Kuwait, not charging onto Baghdad and overthrow Saddam Hussein from power. The mission was a success and once the routed Iraqi forces crossed back to the Iraqi border from Kuwait after being expelled by U.S. and UN forces in February 1991, the mission was declared complete and a ceasefire agreement was signed between UN forces and Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Since the 1991 Gulf War ceasefire agreement, the U.S. maintained presence in the Persian Gulf since to keep an eye out of Saddam Hussein's aggression. This include the Iraqi no-fly zones enforced by U.S. and British(along with France until they withdrew from the no-fly zone patrol in 1998) aircraft patrols to protect the Kurds in northern Iraq and Shia Muslims in the south from attacks by the Iraqi Air Force, the continuing UN economic sanctions against Iraq, ongoing UN inspections of Saddam's WMDs program, and so on.Second, most of the U.S.-led Coalition agreed to a UN mission to rid Iraqi forces from Kuwait, not going onto Baghdad and remove Saddam from power. If George Bush Senior unilaterally exceeding the UN mandate to spread the war onto Baghdad and topple Saddam Hussein's regime, the coalition that he put up would have collapsed and the U.S. can be seen in the eyes of the international community as the aggressors. I don't think Bush Senior want to with that.Third, George Bush Senior also said the reason why he didn't charge onto Baghdad and take out Saddam Hussein in 1991 because of geopolitical interests in Turkey, Syria, and Iran. As he mentioned in his 1998 book, "The Worlds Transformed", if he actually take Saddam Hussein out of power in Baghdad, Iraq would have plunged into a never ending tribal civil war between warring factions, destablized the region, stregetening Iran's influence, possibly leading to a pro-Iranian Shiite government, possibly cause Iraqi Kurdistan to be destabilized, make the Kurds in Turkey demand independence and start a war there with the help of Iraqi Kurdistan, and U.S. forces would be stuck in Iraq for years in an unwinnable guerrilla warfare with thousands of lives lost and trillions were sucked out from the U.S. of rebuilding the whole country of Iraq. So Bush Senior decide to let Saddam stay in power and keep in eyes of check of factions as well as watching out of Iran. Which i think it was the best political decision ever made by the first Bush administration.Unlike George Bush Junior, he pretty much did in 2003 that meaning no coalition and went onto Iraq desipte the consequences Bush Senior made and cause the world to turn against the USA.
What set off the war in Iraq?
The war in Iraq started due to suspicions of WMD's being produced there. the Americans were very concerned and so tehy asked the british for help. the brits agreed which set off the war to kill Saddam Hussein, and now it has become a war for oil.
How did Saddam ruled Iraq?
Saddam Hussein, President of Iraq for the past two decades, has the dubious distinction of being the world's best known and most hated Arab leader. And in a region where despotic rule is the norm, he is more feared by his own people than any other head of state. A former Iraqi diplomat living in exile summed up Saddam's rule in one sentence: "Saddam is a dictator who is ready to sacrifice his country, just so long as he can remain on his throne in Baghdad." Few Iraqis would disagree with this. Although none living in Iraq would dare to say so publicly.
