“What, we were supposed to charge them on foot and jump in with bayonets and trench knives?”
If the nation is going to war, we were supposed to have an actual declaration of war by Congress as the Constitution requires, not military action ordered by the President. The joint resolution of Congress in 1991, authorizing the use of troops, after President George H.W. Bush placed 500,000 US troops in the region, did not meet the requirements of the Constitution for a declaration of war.
TRUMP BEAT 16 other Republicans when he had no HISTORY of Conservatism!
With 4 years of Conservative Policies under his belt, WTF can beat or PRIMARY TRUMP?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Have you seen #NeverTRUMPers like Michelle Malkin & Dana Loesch talk about TRUMP now?
They LOVE him!! LOL
I hate to interrupt your selective information rant (you being all head up in your self righteous steam and all) but Congress had ratified a mutual defense treaty with Kuwait. That is why they didn’t have a military to speak of.
When Iraq rolled into Kuwait we were effectively in a war that Congress (following Kissinger’s stupid mechinations) had commited us to years before.
Herbert Walker Bush did intend to reneg on the agreement, but the terrified Saudi government provided Ted Turner’s nascent CNN with global transmitting cameras and personnel inside Kuwait to broadcast footage which politically cornered Bush into honoring our commitment.
Did you think that just because the press and the schools don’t discuss these factors that the people who went over there wouldn’t remember them? Or were you so clueless about the Middle East at the time that you weren’t really following what was going on?
Those are the only two possibilities.
