Déjà vu in the desert. Once again US troops head to the Persian Gulf to counter an Iraqi threat against Kuwait. The massive US deployment follows an Iraqi build up along the Kuwaiti border, including about 20,000 troops from Baghdad's Republican Guard. The Clinton administration responds with a show of force and a word of warning.
President Bill Clinton: "Our policy is clear: we will not allow Iraq to threaten its neighbors or to intimidate the United Nations as it ensures that Iraq never again possesses weapons of mass destruction."
Russia marches into the middle of the fray to try to defuse the crisis. After the week-long faceoff with the United States, Saddam Hussein finally blinks.
Iraqi spokesman, from Iraqi TV: "As a gesture of goodwill to the Iraqi friends it has decided to withdraw the armed forces in question deeper into Iraq."
Iraqi troops draw back to their positions before the crisis, and what could have been another Desert Storm amounts to little more than thundering.
Operation Vigilant Warrior (عملية المحارب اليقظ) ran from 8 October to 15 December, 1994.
Narrator: Bobbie Battista

Californias Proposition 187 attempts to solve the states illegal immigration problem by denying services like education and non-emergency health care
to illegal immigrants.
Kathleen Brown (D) California Governor [failed] Candidate: Will you help me defeat 187? We can do it.
Those against 187 were heard in the streets but not at the polls.
Bernard Shaw: Proposition 187 the very controversial one in California which would virtually cut off all public services except the emergency medical care to illegal immigrants...
Bill Schneider: That proposition is very strong ahead right now...
Governor Pete Wilson (D) CA: Instead an overwhelming majority of Californians sent a message to Washington that our nations immigration laws must be enforced.
But 187s easy victory at the polls is unlikely to be duplicated in the courts.
There are viable legal means to challenge this law.
The courts delayed enforcement of most of the provisions of Proposition 187 over questions about its
constitutionality.")

That January 6, 1994 smash of a baton on Nancy Kerrigans knee kept her out of the National Skating Championships and on the front page for months. It meant she couldnt qualify for the Winter Olympics in February. The whispers began immediately that people close to rival Tonya Harding were involved.
“I cant believe it. I mean why does someone want to discredit me? I just dont understand.”
Were you shocked when you heard some of these things?
“Its ludicrous. Its totally ludicrous.”
But it wasnt. Her husband Jeff Gillooly and bodyguard Shawn Eckhardt were involved, and she knew it. She admitted it just days later.
“I had no prior knowledge of the planned assault on Nancy Kerrigan I am responsible, however, for failing to report things I learned about the assault when I returned home from Nationals.”
Gone with Hardings Olympic dream: her marriage, her membership in the U.S. Skating Association, and a $100,000 fine imposed for the part she played in hindering the investigation of the attack.
Her former husband, Jeff Gillooly, was given two years in jail. 18-month sentences were handed to Tanyas bodyguard Shawn Eckhardt, hit man Shane Stant, and the getaway car driver, Derrick Smith.
Shawn Eckhardt changed his name to Brian Sean Griffth. He died in 2007 at age 40 of natural causes.
Narrator: Don Harrison
Margot Robbie stars in a December, 2017 film of the story, directed by Craig Gillespie, and written by Steven Rogers. Competitive ice skater Tonya Harding rises amongst the ranks at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, but her future in the sport is thrown into doubt when her ex-husband intervenes.")
