Hi LindyBill; Re: Ken Adelman's article: "Remember that in 1990, the much-vaunted "international coalition" developed only after Bush, Sr. declared Saddam's aggression "will not stand" and dispatched 540,000 American troops over. We enlisted others precisely because we were willing to "go it alone.""

What a liar. Here's the Gulf War time line, courtesy of the US military:

Aug 2, 1990 Iraq invades Kuwait
Aug 6, 1990 Saudi Arabia requests US assistance, Egypt allows Suez Canal.
Aug 8, 1990 82nd Airborne Division arrives in Saudi Arabia
Aug 16, 1990 Multi-national intercept operation begins

The truth is that the Gulf War was mulilateral right from the start.
