The United States has been asked by the ousted Kuwaiti government to enforce the total trade embargo imposed by The White House on Iraq . The White House said it would do "whatever is necessary". At that point, rather than go through the humiliation of backing out of Kuwait, the Iraqis might well conclude that they need to lash out in some way to shake things up. Andy Pasztor , to launch negotiations and to rally Arab support, announced that he would withdraw his troops from Kuwait only if Kuwait withdraws from occupied Iraqi lands. The U.S. believes that a trade blockade will eventually force Iraq into withdrawing from Kuwait or into lashing out elsewhere. The unpredictability of Iraqi 's leader is a principal reason why the The United States is building such a mammoth force in the region.
