[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Hmmm...the real place where we blew it in GW1 was in letting/forcing Shwartzkopf(sp?) to negotiate terms of cease fire with a whole team or Iraqi negotiators... They asked for (and recieved!) permission to keep their helicopter gunships (bought from the Russians in their "going out of world domination" sale) to "defend themselves against their neighbors" (who quite rightly hated saddam for their own reasons). Thus the Kurds were wiped out by said helicopters- some US listening posts along the border and satelite photos caught the whole sorry affair play-by-play and (because we signed that cease fire in good faith and everyone here was happy the war was over and relativly bloodless) did nothing. Blame Bush version 1.0 for [i]that[/i] one- he was busy planning his triumphant re-election campaign by then. [/QB][/QUOTE]
