Despite all this, there are many weak spots in the embargo. Western intelligence officials have learned that Saddam stockpiled rice, wheat and other foods before invading Kuwait, and the Iraqi army's plundering of Kuwaiti warehouses has increased Iraq's supplies substantially.

"When we sat back and listened to the playback of that record, it was a high point in my career."
