What if Kuwait was drilling diagonally? That was what they were doing.

You have proof of that?

Even if they where it doesn't justify taking over the whole country.

To PO Saddam more, they were selling cheap oil over their quota.

The OPEC agreements oil quotas are hardly the sort of thing reasonably enforced with massive invasions.

There were many things that triggered the war including a green light from the US.

Nonsense. Saying we won't settle the dispute or enforce the terms of the settlement, is not a green light for Iraq to take over Kuwait.

Don't forget that Iraq "claimed" Kuwait, much as China claims Taiwan, as a historical part of it's territory.
