They were then, although the supply chain struggled to keep up.

Absolutely correct.

Dude,

Gulf Arabs are Arabs.

The decision to invade and occupy, and then the refusal to leave, a sovereign foreign nation was the sole responsibility of the government of Iraq.

Things will never change in the Mideast, because Arab and Persian culture is incapable of it.

So when the Brits accidentally killed their own guys in the Falklands war less than 10 years earlier, that was America’s fault too. Right?

All the Brits crying about friendly fire incidents seem to forget that in their own Falklabds War less than 10 years earlier they HAD problems shooting their own guys

But then again, you are not speaking German right now.

Complete and utter destruction of Europe:

Let’s see:

You realize, as you write this, that the Royal Navy had to hire US Coast Guard personnel to help man their ships because England can’t come up with the people do do it?

Total bull. Glaspie said we had no interest in a border dispute. Invasion, total occupation and annexation is different than a “border dispute”.

Well in my opinion:

They shouldn't be doing that with a hatchet. It's dangerous.

It looks just like every other Iraqi tank. Including the flames.

The flaw the Iraqis had was planning for a repeat of the Iran Iraq war, with static defensive positions. They had no clue about the strength of western air power, and after being stunned and decimated by that, were overwhelmed with what really is the greatest Calvary charge in history.

And I was vividly getting deployment orders. And they were not from a PR agency. No idea how people cook up these conspiracy theories.

Hmmm. You seem to be forgetting that minor issue of the massive sealift from the US that saved your bacon.

Thank you. We are the greatest country on earth.
