The other map shows where Kuwait's oil wells were. They're easy to see because Saddam set them all on fire. And they're not on the border. You saw that map but it doesn't support Saddam's lie so you didn't copy it.

BUT here's more satellite photos:

I like this set because they show the border and have a line showing how long five miles is on the map. As you can see the closest oil well fires are more than five miles from the Iraqi border. Looks like about 10 miles or so. Can you drill a 10 mile extended well? No, not even today:

Other notable extended reach achievements in pushing the horizontal departure distance from 30,000 ft. to 40,000 ft. (circa 2013) ........

40K feet would be 7.58 miles. If was nowhere near that at the time of the Kuwait invasion. But eyeballing the satellite photos above you can see that Kuwait's northernmost wells weren't within that distance of the Iraq border.


Once more I've proved you're a fool to believe Saddam's iies.
