Nonsense.
Pull your head out of the sand;
1. the 24th Mech along with the 82nd /101st Air Assault had almost of the Republican Guard’s Armor double flanked between Basra and Nasiriyah right when Powell went whining about the pictures from the road to Basra and GHWB hit the PR panic button. They couldn’t see us but we had them easily within the range. It would have wiped out everything in the zone.
2. The resulting Cease Fire Agreement was broken at every step by Iraq from the day it was signed.
3. Our fighters were flying cap patrols in the northern and southern no fly zones from the day Iraq started to use their helicopters to decimate the Shiites in the south and the Kurds in the north. Those cap patrols went on for all those years before Desert Storm, and our fighters were either painted with AA radar and/or frequently fired upon.
4. Canada was the recipient of the 500 tons of yellow cake that Saddam refused to give up that we removed after the GWB invasion was complete.
5. It only took 18 neglected UN resolutions before EVERYONE got tired of Saddam thumbing his nose at the world telling EVERYONE to come and get it because he was not going to give it up. You know, that goofy little thing called the Cease Fire agreement.
6. There never was a peace treaty of any kind signed, just the cease fire agreement. He kept breaking them until we were tasked to break him.
Explain your point.
