I will slightly correct myself, but still does not change what I said about Iraq. A sea-launched cruise missile attack was launched against specific Iraqi military/official targets a couple of hours before 4 missiles were launched from Iraq against the country of Kuwait. Now, the United States Navy launched this attack after Hussein failed to meet the deadline to produce evidence that the weapons were destroyed (and to remove himself from power after that deadline had passed) Hussein responded by attacking other nations like he did in 1991.
