I think that is a pretty fair assessment, gator. There was also the principle of the thing, overrunning a “small country” to get out of paying a debt to it. In retrospect, I think letting an insane Hussein have his way with the Royals might have proved entertaining, if we weren’t dependent on the oil.
Meanwhile, here we are over 20 years later, we have the opportunity to undercut/eliminate that dependence by drilling, and instead we get years of hand-wringing indecision from this bunch we have.
Were not the Kuwaitis “Drinking Saddam’s Milkshake” as well?
