What is the casualty estimate? What army did Iraq use to accomplish this with? The one we had just demolished? Are you aware the the US maintained a strong military presence in the region from then till now? No-fly zones ring a bell? US aircraft getting shot at from time to time ring a bell?
Again, I ask you to post some credible sources.

Yes I'm aware of the no-fly zone. I'm also aware of the revenge that was extracted on the Kurds (and also the Iraqis involved in the uprising in the south) unfortunatley I don't have my 'Big Book of World Conflicts' sat next to my desk at work to cross reference for you.

Ok...on the "thousand of Kuwaits living on the border with Iraq suffered/died" total BS
You may be confusing them with the Iraq people who rose up and the end of Desert Storm
For your information:
"Almost immediately after Iraq accepted the ceasefire, uprisings began to spread from dissident areas in the north and south of the country.
Shia Muslims in Basra, Najaf and Karbala in southern Iraq took to the streets in protest against the regime.
Kurds in the north persuaded the local military to switch sides. Suleimaniyeh was the first large city to fall.
Within a week the Kurds controlled the Kurdish Autonomous Region and the nearby oil-rich city of Kirkuk.
In mid-February, President Bush Snr had called on the Iraqi people and military to "take matters into their own hands".
But the hoped for US support never came. Instead, Iraqi helicopter gunships arrived.
INDICT, a group campaigning for Iraqi leaders to be tried for war crimes, says civilians and suspected rebels were executed en masse, and hospitals, schools, mosques, shrines and columns of escaping refugees were bombed and shelled.
According to the US, which has been criticised for allowing Saddam Hussein to continue using the military helicopters, between 30,000 and 60,000 people were killed.
In the north, 1.5 million Kurds fled across the mountains into Iran and Turkey. As the harsh conditions created a humanitarian catastrophe, the UN launched Operation Provide Comfort, air-dropping aid supplies to the refugees."
There were no Kuwaits involved in that...but I did find
"About 600 people mainly Kuwaitis - have been missing since the end of the Gulf War.
They are assumed to have been detained during Iraq's invasion of Kuwait or the war itself. Most are civilians.
Iraq says it lost track of foreign prisoners during the uprising in the south of the country in March 1991.
It also says that more than 1,000 of its own nationals remain unaccounted for.
But Red Cross officials have inspected Kuwait's prisons and found only 40 Iraqis, all common criminals. "
Not quite the scare story you are telling, is it...

okoj, you change your story a little bit every time someone proves you wrong...you see you first said thousands killed at the end of the war, well that was 1991, now realising you are mistaken, you pick some other incident. Again you provide no evidence.
Iraqi border incursions halted
In January 1993 incursions by Iraq into Kuwait were halted after a series of US-led air strikes against Iraqi missile and radar sites. Iraqi troops massed near the border in October 1994, arousing fears of another invasion, but prompt action by the US-led international community removed the threat and secured a formal recognition of Kuwait by the Iraqi government.
You see, your original point was that the US didn't finish the job and left thousands of Kuwaits to die, now you have been proved wrong, you dig up another "fact" which can be checked, and it turns out that the US actually prevented the incursions. Notice how it doesn't mention "thousands of dead"

That's a very typical modus operandi for him... and others like him.Tacet_Blue

Note: he tries to sidestep the counterpoint, ignores the fact that he's totally mistaken on the point about voting (not just the 3/5ths number), and reasserts his original statement, still with zero proof.okoj

Glad to be of service
It amazes me that people think they can post any old rubbish that they choose to make up, and not expect it to be challenged in any way.
