The facts are there, you just need to know where to look for them. Here are a few more common facts to ponder on,
Sadaam was warned by the US that if he did any one of the 3 following things during the Gulf War, he would pay with his life and his nation, 1) He could not attack Israel. He did. 2) He could not use chemical weapons in Kuwait. He did. 3) He could not use bio or nuclear weapons against coalition forces.
After seeing we did nothing to him for the first two violations, Saadaam pulled his Republican Guard elite troops to surround Baghdad. Even though it was reported that Republican Guard troops were massing by the thousands on the Saudi Boarder and we attacked and killed thousands of them, it never happened. The troops at the boarder were regular Iraqi army and they surrendered pretty much without a fight.
Sadaam pulled his loyal troops around Baghdad and issued orders that if we came within 50 miles of Bagdahd, they were to attack with biological weapons. He wasn't afraid of the consequences, because we did nothing to him once he violated the other two don’t try it's. When US intel learned that bio weapons had been deployed, we stopped the advance and retreated saying the war was over because Kuwait had been liberated. That single action pissed Schwartzkoff off so bad, he eventually retired.
