What was this war about? (re: Iraq)

[Chaerophon]

They turned out to be Ababil-100s and proved to be an easier 'kill' for the Patriot missiles

Exactly. They have found some Al-Samoud's, but only one missile has actually hit Kuwait and it was, if I remember correctly, not a banned munition as it only has a radius of approx. 60-80 miles. (?) Unlike what some posters have contended, they have yet to confirm a SINGLE "WMD". They have, however, found a large cache of... pesticide. That being said, I'm sure that there must be SOME of this stuff out there. However, the argument of the U.S. at the outset of the war has yet to be confirmed through factual evidence. (That being that they represented a serious threat to America and its allies in the Middle East.) At this point, I'm thinking that the US either vastly overestimated Hussein, made it all up, or are in store for worse things to come in Tikrit.

Whatever you think, (and who knows what to think at this point) you've got to agree that putting an American flag on Saddam's concrete head was probably not the best message that they could have sent :D The damage control was pretty funny, though. For some reason, I had images of Albion Child at the top of that ladder in all his glory.
