Gulf War I was another stupid adventure. We spent the money, to dislodge Saddam from Kuwait. The rich Kuwaiti sheikhs simply went to London, lived in luxury, and came back when we made it safe for them.
What did we gain? ZERO! ZILCH! NADA!
What difference does it make if we buy oil from Kuwaiti sheikhs or Saddam? Let the middle-east fight it out among themselves. They can not drink the oil. They MUST SELL IT.
And Kuwait is still an Islamist hellhole stuck in the seventh Century, we sent our boys to fight and die for that?
Poppy Bush sold the US to the Saudis. He was smart to butter Rush up in the WH.
