OH, no not back in 91. ( I recall no threat to invade Saudi arabia ever by iraq) I was referring to the invasion of Iraq in 13 years later in march of 2003 on the pretext of wmd, where we lost 5000 lives and 40,000 wounded.
I know what you meant. What I am saying is that the two gulf wars can't be separated. Once we invaded in 91, we destabilized Iraq.
