Let me spell it out for the uniformed liberal voter....
We had a war. It ended. A peace agreement was signed and in that agreement was a cease fire, an end to the killing if some things were followed.
Those things were not followed.
That means the cease fire agreement ends. When a cease fire agreement ends shooting starts again.
The problem was until George W Bush, no president or congress wanted to hold up that agreement and start a war with Iraq. Saddam Hussdein was thumbing his nose at us, laughing at our weakness to uphold our agreements, and made us look weak.
A weak USA was made a target. 9/11 happened.
THAT'S AN INFORMED POST IF I EVAH DID SEE ONE, SonInMe.
no, really. i mean it. seriously

Nayirah Testimony refers to the controversial testimony given before the
non-governmental Congressional Human Rights Caucus on October 10, 1990, by a female who provided only her first name, Nayirah. In her emotional testimony, Nayirah stated that
after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait she had witnessed Iraqi soldiers take babies out of incubators in a Kuwaiti hospital, take the incubators, and leave the babies to die. Though reporters did not then have access to Kuwait, her testimony was regarded as credible at the time and was widely publicized.
It was cited numerous times by United States senators and the president in their rationale to back Kuwait in the Gulf War.
Her story was initially corroborated by Amnesty International[1] and testimony from evacuees. Following the liberation of Kuwait, reporters were given access to the country and found the story of stolen incubators unsubstantiated. However, they did find that a number of people, including babies, died when nurses and doctors fled the country.
In 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah's last name was al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيره الصباح) and that
she was the daughter of Saud bin Nasir Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States.
Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign which was run by Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti government. Following this, al-Sabah's testimony has largely come to be regarded as wartime propaganda.
Nayirah's testimony was widely publicized.[45]
Hill & Knowlton, which had filmed the hearing, sent out a video news release to Medialink, a firm which served about 700 television stations in the United States.[46]
That night, portions of the testimony aired on ABC's Nightline and NBC Nightly News reaching an estimated audience between 35 and 53 million Americans.[44][46]
Seven senators cited Nayirah's testimony in their speeches backing the use of force.[Note 1] President George Bush repeated the story at least ten times in the following weeks.[49]
Her account of the atrocities helped to stir American opinion in favor of participation in the Gulf War.[50]
