In August, 1990, before any votes had been taken, the White House asserted the existence of military satellite photographs that showed Iraqi troops massed on the Saudi Arabian border -- preparing, said the White House, to invade that kingdom and extend Mr. Hussein's conquest. (The purpose for sending U.S. troops to Saudi Arabia in the first place, according to Bush I, was defensive, not to evict Mr. Hussein from Kuwait.)

These photos have never been made public, probably because they don't exist. Genuine commercial-satellite photographs of the Kuwait-Saudi Arabia border from that time, published in the c, showed no Iraqi troops along the frontier. These pictures have the ring of truth, given what little resistance U.S. troops encountered when they crossed the border into Kuwait in February of 1991.
