    They need to be shown that. If they want to be disrespectful toward the President and he tells them to $#@! off, I have no problem with that. Eventually, they will come crawling back begging forgiveness.


    Without NATO there would have been no invasion of Iraq.
    So, because you feel the need to stay on your knees in front of the king then everyone else needs to also.

    You are a funny little guy. I am not going to mess up this tPF thread by responding to you in the appropriate manner.

    You have a nice day.

    What's the big deal with cancelling a press conference?

    There's no big deal to cancelling a news conference after being humiliated. As far as your first erroneous observation...
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/archi...-35e3d79e614c/
    DHARHAN, SAUDI ARABIA, FEB. 24 (SUNDAY) -- Allied tanks and armored vehicles roared across sand-dune barricades along Saudi Arabia's northern border early today and punched into Kuwait and Iraq as the United States and its allies launched their long-awaited ground assault to liberate the Iraqi-occupied emirate.
    Allied forces captured the small Kuwaiti island of Failaka, which commands sea approaches to Kuwait City, the British Broadcasting Corp. and the Kuwaiti News Agency reported.
    The Kuwaiti agency, quoting "an informed source," said the island was taken "after the destruction of Iraqi tanks {on} it was completed." The agency said between 500 and 1,000 Iraqi troops had been stationed on the island.
    U.S. forces were reported by news agencies to have driven as far as nine miles into Kuwait and were said to have taken large numbers of prisoners. A Kuwaiti source told Knight-Ridder Newspapers that troops had moved into the Umm Qadir oil field in southern Kuwait and toward the town of Wafra and that there was heavy helicopter activity over Kuwait City.

    Just a simple question Agent Zero, during WW2 did allied forces invade France at Normandy ??
