Notes
1 Dina Rizk Khoury, Iraq in Wartime: Soldiering, Martyrdom, and Rememberence (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2013), pp. 12-13; Woods, Palkki, and Stout, The Saddam Tapes, p. 12.
2 The quote is a summary of what Saddam had said, and not Saddam's exact words. Also, the correct page in the interrogation report is p. 2, not p. 13, and the correct date for the report is May 13, 2004.
3 Woods, The Mother of all Battles: Saddam Hussein's Strategic Plan for the Gulf War (Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press, 2008). Woods refers to the first Harmony record on p. 155, p. 170 note 116, and on p. 336, and to the second on p. 160, p. 171 note 133, and p. 335.
4 See also The Saddam Tapes, p. 250. Oddly, on p. 460, Golov describes the meeting as taking place on January 2, citing Woods as the source, yet Woods dates the meeting as “sometime in early January” and in “the second week of January.”
5 For example, on January 20, 1991, Saddam claimed on CNN that Iraq could install nuclear, chemical, and biological warheads on its missiles. He promised that he would not hesitate to use these weapons if needed. Cited in Efraim Karsh and Inari Rautsi, Saddam Hussein: A Political Biography (Tel Aviv: Ma'arachot, 1991), p. 229.
6 Alexander George and Andrew Bennett, for example, stress that a single case study analysis should be applied to a wide range of alternative hypotheses because omitted variables could threaten the validity of the analysis. See Alexander L. George and Andrew Bennett, Case Studies and Theory Development in the Social Sciences (Cambridge, Massachusetts: MIT Press 2004), p. 207.
7 Whereas some studies have addressed the general question of the Iraqi nonconventional restraint, there is a lacuna concerning the Iraqi policy in the Israeli arena. For example, see Kevin M. Woods, The Mother of All Battles: Hussein's Strategic Plan for the Persian Gulf War (Annapolis, MD: US Naval Institute Press, 2008); Palkki in Scott D. Sagan, “PASCC Final Report: Deterring Rogue Regimes: Rethinking Deterrence Theory and Practice,” Center for International Security and Cooperation, Stanford University, July 8, 2013, <http://hdl.handle.net/10945/34336>.
