Correction. US hopes not to be occupying for an indefinite period of time. Your crystal ball must be working differently than mine. Because last I checked the troops we sent to Saudi some 12 years ago are still there.


They are there because Saddam is still in power, no other reason. We're working on getting them out.

How many troops would still be in Kuwait and SA if Saddam had complied with the terms of the ceasefire?

Or perhaps if we had driven all the way to Iraq in 1991 instead of 2003?

"As a stated policy America is also committed to expansion of democracy by restoring regimes like Kuwait and supporting others like Saudi and Egypt. What is your point?"

Point is simple my man.
It contrasts with the stated policy by Israel. It was in that context, I made my remarks.
