That may very well be true. Which points why in the end, it was very short-sighted to go in.
Why should we have given a rip about Kuwait anyway. It was historically a part of Iraq, it was a gift to the oil companies, courtesy of British map-makers. Just a bunch of Arabs anyway, and they were no saints, either. They hired a PR firm to make up stories, like the one about the Iraqis stealing incubators. And they were side-drilling into Iraqi oil fields.
We were then hooked on ME oil and our allies too. If Saddam later on went in and blocked the Persian Gulf that would have been a war just as well. The less we have to deal with those whack job muzzie Arabs the better. Those fat Saudi Arabs are corrupt backstabbers anyway. They use their oil wealth to help fund muzzie terrorists against the west.
Why don’t those fat sheiks help their lesser, poorer muzzie brethren in the sandrat hellholes? Answer—they are selfish fat bastard backstabbers secretly doing dirty deeds and don’t give a rip about them except to exploit them.
