Saddam Hussein had invaded and was occupying Kuwait. Bush
did not want to make the same mistake that Chamberlain
had made before WWII with Hitler. - There were also WMD’s
transported to Syria.

You didn't read the LINKED FR article, did you?

"Saddam Hussein had invaded and was occupying Kuwait. "

I retired from the USAF in 2001, with 26+ years of Air Traffic Controller experience.
I'm very familiar with the situation, and have many contacts with FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE on some of these details.
