Ku dhammee weedha soo socota: Thatcher waxay booqasho ku tagtay Mareykanka markii hogaamiyihii Ciraaq Saddam Hussein
waxay qabsadeen Kuwait bishii August ee sanadkii 1990. Intii ay wadahadal kula jirtay madaxweyne George H. W. Bush, oo ku guuleystay Reagan 1989, waxay ku talisay faragelinta, waxayna ku cadaadisay Bush inuu ciidamo geeyo Bariga Dhexe si uu uga saaro ciidanka Ciraaq Kuwait. Bush wuxuu ka walwalsan yahay qorshaha, taasoo keentay in Thatcher ay u sheegto isaga inta lagu gudajiray wada hadalka taleefanka: "Tani ma ahayn waqtigii lagu wareeri lahaa!" Xukuumada Thatcher waxay ciidamo milatari siisey isbahaysiga caalamiga ah ee dhisayay Dagaalkii Khaliijka, laakiin waxay is casilay markii dagaalku bilaabmay 17kii Janaayo 1991. Waxay ku bogaadisay guushii isbahaysiga ee kuraasta gadaal, iyadoo ka digtay in "guushii nabadda ay qaadan doonto waqti ka dheer dagaalladii dagaalka". Waxaa la shaaciyay sanadkii 2017 in Thatcher ay soo jeedisay in Saddam loogu hanjabo hubka kiimikada kadib duulaankii Kuwait.
