So what do you think Iraq is all about?

corrected, I knew you would jump at me if I didn't include other nation, thought I had, sorry.

LOL the UK is also correct but there is a whole list of others, some that were supporting the United States and the UK, many were doing it very quietly and others that encouraged Iraq by activitily violating the UN resolutions during the 12 years between the two gound shooting wars. Remember Iraq has several air campaigns committed against it during the Clinton Presidency to inforce the UN Resolutions.

Edit: I wont count the several ground deployments of US forces into Kuwait to insure Iraq knew we were willing to enforce the UN Resolutions and protect Kuwait.
