Speaker: 1990, 1990, can and should, bring us closer to a period of genuine peace.

Speaker: Invasion by the Iraqi troops, deep inside Kuwait.

Speaker: We hold it as an invariable principle, that racism must be opposed.

George H. W. Bush: “Democracy is restored. Panama is free.”

Speaker: I told the truth and I paid the price. Mr. Bush did not, and we are all now going to have to pay for that.

Speaker: I mean, you got a real serious problem in the chief executive officer of the city, which has a drug problem, is taking crack.

Speaker: And lift off one of the Space Shuttle Discovery, with Hubble Space Telescope.

George Bush: "I do not like Broccoli."

Howard Dicus: 1990, the Gulf crisis. The bridging of the super power at Gulf. Nelson Mandela freed. Charles Keating jailed. The end of Panamanian Repression, the beginning of a Recession. Standby to relive it all, I am Howard Dicus and this is the year in review.
