Are you fucked in the head? Iraq is only an 80 year old construct.

Yeah and Iraq didn't have anywhere near the big boots it needed to stomp over there. Unlike Russia.

The Gulf War was probably the best, most clean, and successful military action in history tbhfam

H.W. and Colin Powell really did a perfect job of figuring out what to do and then engaging it perfectly.

Nope.
>>
>>794580

Stormin Norman just did the actual fighting, the politics behind setting up that war is amazing though. They basically went around the world and got support in one way or another, to the point where everyone, including Iraqs one time buddy Syria agreed that not only should the US kicks Saddams ass, but they would do it with them

>based Norman Schwarzkopf

Was he the last truly great US General? I can't think of any military leader in recent memory that can be credited on the same level as him.
>>
>>794606
>Was he the last truly great US General?

Stanley McChrystal was pretty based, but Obama fired him simply because he, a 4 star general, had the audacity to say a former community organizers plans for Afghanistan were stupid
>>
>>794623

Really? wow.
>>
>>794633

He was fired for criticizing Obamas plans in an interview. Stephen Colbert made fun of him by showing him that Obama knew more than him because he was commander and chief and he was just a general lol
>>

>He was fired for criticizing Obamas plans in an interview

my bad, it was actually his aids mentioned how he didnt like Obamas plans and then when that got out, they fired him

What's funny is the second invasion of Iraq has a similar stack up and yet everyone solely blames America. Like 20+ nations decided it was time for Saddam to go, and for good reason. Of course he had chemical weapons, he fucking used them, and recently. That's a historical fact, plus we had the damn receipt. How can people blame us for selling him weapons and claim he had no weapons at the same time?

Funny how media bias can change things.

Weapons of mass destruction implies nuclear weapons.
Saddam gassed the Kurds and Iranians but after the Gulf War a no fly zone was established over the Kurdish part of the country. He was basically a cuck after 1990. tl;dr you don't know what your talking about

If nobody knows you're completely destroyed for a decade, were you still completely destroyed?

No, Saddam played the biggest bluff maybe of the century, and pretended he still mattered, for well over 12 years.

He fooled the entire world.
>>
>>799495
This is absolute garbage. Saddam's WMD were sent via convoy by Russia to Syria.

Syria used them.

Russia took them back.
