Its not to hard to claim anything.

I remember the first Gulf War quite well.
When Kuwait was invaded, Bush the elder condemned it, but did not jump right up and indicate he was going to take action. There were ambiguous days that went by. I think he was getting the start of a long chain of bad advice from the neocons at that time.

There is much evidence that Operation Desert Shield used deception to allow U.S. forces into Saudi Arabia. It was claimed that satellite photos showed a buildup of Iraqi troops a the border of Saudi Arabia, but Russian satelite photos of the time showed no Iraqi buildup of forces that would indicate an attack on that country.
