Did we not spend quite a bit of time bombing Kuwaiti targets before the ground war begun in Kuwait?

I don't see how we can call this war a failure when it's barely started. Certainly it is only prudent to destroy as much of the enemy's resources as feasible before going in with ground troops, no?

When we began the air campaign in Desert Storm, we unleashed hell. The sortie rate day in and day out was phenominal. We did, in fact, hit them with overwhelming force from the air befoe we hit them with overwhelming force on the ground. That is the difference between The Gulf War and what is happening now.
