Attacks on Iraq targeted infrastructure that provided electricity and sewage treatment, he said, and subsequent economic sanctions against Iraq have prevented the movement of many needed drugs and food into the country.
The attacks, which were part of a "scorched earth" strategy to eliminate rebel-controlled villages, provoked outrage on Capitol Hill and renewed demands for sanctions against Iraq.

Under Saddam Hussein Iraq developed chemical and biological weapons, acquired missiles allowing it to attack neighbouring countries with these weapons and persistently tried to develop a nuclear bomb.
Iraq called for terrorist attacks against the coalition and launched Scud missiles at Israel (in an unsuccessful attempt to widen the war and break up the coalition) and at Saudi Arabia.
Iraq's invasion and the potential threat it then posed to Saudi Arabia prompted the United States and its European NATO allies to rush troops to Saudi Arabia to deter a possible attack.
