It has involved an unremitting test of wills in which the Iraqi leader, driven by powerful motives of survival and revenge, regularly seeks to frustrate or lash out at the U.S. while Washington strives to contain his disruptive ambitions. Whenever Saddam sends out his tanks, American planes and missiles are bound to respond: force must always be met with force under the unwritten rules of engagement heavily determined by American politics.
