Boy, I was wondering why we went to all that expense to send the 4th Infantry Division over there after Hussein's regime had collapsed...

We did not send the 4th AFTER he fell. The 4th was suppose to go through Turkey. Most of their equipment and a lot of their troops were on ships waiting to land in Turkey and had to go down through the canal and go to Kuwait. The Turks prevented the 4th from being in the battle from day one. They only had some troops left in the US. All their hardware was already there.
