George H.W. Bush: “Well, I didn't say ``much longer,'' but he will not-- put it this way: with this much turmoil, it seems to me unlikely…”

On the recordMarch 27, 1991
Well, I didn't say ``much longer,'' but he will not-- put it this way: with this much turmoil, it seems to me unlikely he can survive. People are fed up with him. They see him for the brutal dictator he is. They see him as one who tortured his own people. They see him as one that took his country into a war that was devastating for them. And this turmoil is not simply just historic unrest; it's historic unrest plus great dissatisfaction with Saddam Hussein. So, you can figure out what that means in time. I don't know. I don't know how long it will take.
