Quote:Plus, the argument that the US had no justification to go into Iraq due to breaches in UN Resolutions on disarmament were silly since the beginning. The very first night Saddam launched some SCUDs (which were banned by the UN and Saddam claimed not to posses) into Kuwait!
The media, or at least the news that I was watching said "missiles thought to be SCUDs" which only lasted very briefly until they actually knew what the missiles were.
They turned out to be Ababil-100s and proved to be an easier 'kill' for the Patriot missiles. :P
