Then for the next ten years they continued to take shots at us. Again, more than enough reason for us to move in clean house. We did nothing.

This is so simple you can break it down like the middle high playground. If your neighbor keeps throwing rocks and breaks your windows, you'll call the police the first three times. Then for a while you just put up with it. After he breaks your window for the 40th time, well, your going over there with a baseball bat and breaking every fucking window in his house. This is very fucking simple kids - Iraq fired missiles for ten at our multi million dollar war planes and we sat here and did nothing.

Don't give me the argument that "The US encouraged Iraq to invade Kuwait". That's a line of bull. The US doesn't encourage countries to invade countries that our our allies. Even if it was possible - because we wanted to go to war with Iraq - why didn't we drive all the way into Baddad? That whole line of bullshit makes no sense.
