Documents Creation Time: <t432>02/25/91</t432> Nevertheless, American officials over <t472>the weekend</t472> <ei1262>became</ei1262> more <ei1263>open</ei1263> in <ei1264>declaring</ei1264> that by <ei1265>destroying</ei1265> Saddam Hussein's military machine they <ei1266>hope</ei1266> to <ei1267>destroy</ei1267> his <ei1268>regime</ei1268> -- a <ei1269>goal</ei1269> likely to be <ei1270>supported</ei1270> by most Americans. In a pre-attack <ei1271>message</ei1271>, Lt. Gen. Walter Boomer, the top Marine in the Persian Gulf, <ei1272>told</ei1272> U.S. Marines that their <ei1273>goal</ei1273> is to " <ei1274>restore</ei1274> {Kuwait} to its citizens." He <ei1275>went</ei1275> on to <ei1276>add</ei1276> that "in so <ei1277>doing</ei1277> you not only <ei1278>return</ei1278> a nation to its people, but you will <ei1279>destroy</ei1279> the war machine of a ruthless dictator." Secretary of State James Baker <ei1280>said</ei1280> on ABC-TV's "This Week With David Brinkley" that the series of United Nations <ei1281>resolutions</ei1281> <ei1282>condemning</ei1282> Iraq's <ei1283>invasion</ei1283> of Kuwait "<ei1284>imply</ei1284> that the <ei1285>restoration</ei1285> of <ei1286>peace</ei1286> and <ei1287>stability</ei1287> in the Gulf would be a heck of a lot <ei1523>easier</ei1523> if he and that <ei1288>leadership</ei1288> were not in power in Iraq." Of course, it is still far too <ei1527>early</ei1527> to <ei1290>assume</ei1290> that the military <ei1291>situation</ei1291> on the ground will <ei1292>stay</ei1292> as smooth for allied forces as it <ei1293>appears</ei1293> to have been so far.
