What a liar you are. I posted you maps showing where Kuwait's oil wells were located at the time of the war and showing they weren't near the border.

You claimed slant drilling wasn't even viable then. That's another lie. I said there were limits to how far slant drilling was feasible and posted the maps showing Kuwait had no wells that could reach Iraqi territory.

Here's the maps I posted and you immediately responded by switching to the 500,000 starving Iraqi children lie.

Saddam blew up everyoil well in Kuwait and here are satellite pics of where the fires were:



As you can see the northernmost fires were west of Bubiyan island. This map shows the border:



Compare the northern portions of the two maps and you can see there were no wells right on the border with Iraq. The northernmost fires were west of Bubiyan island and the border runs north of there. Too far from the border to reach anything in Iraq.
