"It is 2am local time, August 2, 1990.
Iraqi General Futayih al-Rawi and four Republican Guard divisions under his command have surged across the Iraq-Kuwait border. Iraqi Special Forces assault Kuwait City with a helicopter and sea-borne attack.
By 5:30am these forces envelop Kuwait City. And by 2pm the Iraqi invasion force is in full control of Kuwait.
This invasion took less than 24 hours, and yet 25 years later, the region, particularly Iraq, still bears the consequences of what happened on August 2."

25 years ago we had Saddam Hussein, now we have Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi; 25 years of failed US foreign policy has resulted in a cataclismic mess in the Middle East. maybe it's time to resurrect that old well worn slogan, "Yankee go home!"
