Impartially true that they took mini part just as symbolic not
combat militarily like as too many countries with them under
no any responsibilities.
If you'll compound all events with Argentina It won't be surprise.

tired of killing people, the mass murderers sail home again. full of stories of rape, mass killings, pillage, etc etc etc.

@ 6 It was not us. Fortunately, here justice puts them in jail until their bodies are nothing more than putrefaction altered cadaveric material. how about you? you give them some nobility title. that's not nice, is it?

1991, the liberation of Kuwait ( I was mobilized 3 times during that period), a noble cause to go to war. Bush 41 was not about regime change. Just FYI

2nd Golf War , was about what exactly? For the record, I read the 9-11 report several times, so if somebody wants to debate me , bring it ! :-)))
