1990 Aug 2 Iraq invaded Kuwait, seizing control of the oil-rich emirate. 1990 Aug 2 By a vote of 14-0, the United Nations Security Council condemned the invasion and annexation of Kuwait by Iraq and demanded in Resolution 660 the unconditional withdrawal of Iraqi troops from Kuwait. 1990 Aug 3, US announced the commitment of Naval forces to Gulf regions. 1990 Aug 5, An angry President Bush again denounced the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, telling reporters, “This will not stand. This will not stand, this aggression against Kuwait.” timelines.ws Doesn't sound like a big delay to me. Or do you think that the president should make a public anouncement that the US will intervene with massive force the moment that some invasion we don't like happens? Not to mention that the idea of removing Saddam's forces from Kuwait was hardly "bad advice". Tim
