You know one of the major causes for that war was that Kuwait used a slant drill to pump the oil out of the al-Rumaila oilfield, right? Iraq borrowd 14 billion from Kowait to pay for the Iran war. Then Iraq was going to force the oil prices up to pay back Kuwait. But Kuwait had pumped a whole bunch of oil from their neigbours yard, so much so that it drove the prices down keeping Iraq from repaying it's dept. That war was everybody's fault. So much back stabbing, it's crazy.
In the Mid 90's April Glaspie pretty much told Saddam they didn't care what happened in between Iraq and Kuwait. So, what does Sadam do? He seizes Kuwait.
See that's what I mean when I say everybody's guilty in that war. They whanna back stab eachother then let them do it. Let them kill each other. And don't compare that to WW2 that's just ignorant.

It was the slant drilling, stealing oil from Iraq. I saw the rigs. This made Saddam mad, that is why he invaded Kuwait. This was not the OS. The slant drill riggs have been removed from Google Earth. I don't know if they are even on the ground there anymore.

But, but, I saw them with my own eyes before Google Earth was censored. Here:

Personally, I think the slant drilling was stealing. Man, those pictures of those burning oil riggs were pretty cool. I think Saddam was in the right, but things got out of hand when he caused the world's worst pollution ever. For years, the clouds over the entire Earth had oil smoke in them from this invasion.
Wha...? I thought I did a fair job offering a brief review of the situation and it was and and is today. If I violated any of your website rules, please feel free to dock my bar and pool privileges... Have a nice day.

I think you're full of BS. This link for example doesn't give out provide proof that Kuwait actually did. You just defended Saddam's explanation that the he did. He didn't have any proof Kuwait did drill off their coast.
