CNN faked that they were under attack by SKUD missles.

Anyone remember the "Scud Stud" Arthur Kent?

The NBC reporter was anointed the hottest correspondent of the first Gulf War. He earned the dubious nickname “The Scud Stud.”

Women sent the then-35-year-old buckets of fan mail and NBC’s ratings shot up.

When he came home, insiders and pundits were sure Kent would be able to write his own ticket.

But upon his return, things quickly grew nasty: he was locked out of his office at NBC during a contract dispute. Kent then sued the network in 1992 (he shot for $25 million but the case was settled for an undisclosed sum).

Few remember that Sadam Hussein summoned the then US Ambassador to Iraq and told her that he was planning to invade Kuwait. He asked her if the U.S. had a problem with that and her response was "no."

Gary sounds stoned.

Remember when the CNN reporter was interviewing the Israeli PM and the sirens when off? The CNN reporter essentially had a panic attack while the PM looked on in amazement. Said reporter was recalled and disappeared.

Remember how many WMDs were seized? Me neither.

Yep, I was over there with the Army. Learned something about the Air Force: just because there is a war going on doesn't mean you have to suffer.

This war was far more justified by big Bush than the Iraq war from Shrub Bush. All the neocons who talked Shrub into that war have been the never Trumpers. The Bushes, Big Bush, Shrub Bush and Jebby Bush are disgusting. As the infamous Jesse Jackson used to say Trim the Bushes.

@7:58 Wrong conflict dummy. Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm were for the liberation of Kuwait after Hussein annexed it. Your attempt at being cute is appreciated. Put down your video games and try reading.

@8:00 AM - so true. These days the Air Force considers an assignment to be a hardship posting if there are only 100 satellite TV channels available, the internet speed is only 25 Mbps, or their A/C will only cool their rooms down to 74*F.

@7:52 that is a lie. you can actually go read the wire transcripts as they are no longer classified and that is not what was said

We are STILL in that part of the world and don’t need to be.

I had already completed my tours in a tropical paradise that had almost nightly fireworks. Still with the Government as this outing began, but home drinking a beer watching it on TV unfolding in real time. What a change a few years makes.

@9:16 a.m.
ipso facto!
Cite your"now "released secret cables" source that April Glaspie warned Saddam Hussein and Tariq Assiz that the U.S.
would not intervene in the inter-Arab oil dispute between Iraq and Kuwait over matters of directional drilling and territorial borders.
Next you will tell us that Admiral Forrestal jumped to his death from that sixteenth floor of the Bethesda Naval Hospital?
Or that a ninety-two year old Rudolph Hess strangled himself in his cell at Spandau Prison.We now know that he was strangled by a black U.S. serviceman.

Correction:
I got caught up in Cajun-like sentence structure. I meant to say show where there is credible dialog to show that April Glaspie did not state to Hussein and Aziz that the U.S.would NOT intervene in inter-Arab territorial disputes involving oil rights.
But with Hussein hanged and Azziz kept in Hess-like solitary confinement until his death, we will NEVER know the truth.

@7:58 a.m.
WMD inspectors were even unable to find those hidden chemical/biological motorized vans that Secretary Powell claimed were running about in underground tunnels. He even went before the UN with drawings of the hidden Vans. Like his bogus poison gas plant claim, which was exposed to be a baby food manufacturing facility,it was proven to be a big lie.

I wish we had more middle east war because it’s good business for government contractors. And it gives the uneducated poor something to do.

I'm not approving any more comments about WMDs and Desert Storm.

WMDs were the province of Bush/Cheney and the second Iraq war. Bush the elder didn't make claims about WMDs as happened in his son's term. Desert Storm was about kicking the Iraqis out of Kuwait.
