Guys, this is no sh!t. When Bush 41 indicated we would fight for Kuwait, I sketched out what I thought would be the battle plan for a friend on a restaurant paper napkin. I sketched a double envelopment, with an armored left hook coming to the west of Kuwait and an amphibious right cross coming in from the Gulf. Still have the napkin.

My understanding is Schwartzkopf called off a Marine landing when intel showed the Iraqis had thinned their front lines to defend the beaches from a landing, thereby basically accomplishing the Marines' objective without firing a shot.
