Questions for those who have followed the Iraq thing more closely than me
1. I have read that we knew that Iraq was preparing to launch missiles long before they pushed the buttons but we took no action---why?.
2. We know how many missiles (or rockets) were launched and how many actually made their target--which was nothing to brag about. That indicates an ongoing real time view of the "enemy", but no apparent response was mounted--why?
3. We apparently did not try to intercept any of the incoming--why?
Now---please I know that there are people here that have followed the details of this far more closely than I have---there is NOTHING political in my questions---so please---this is not the Political Forum. Allow the local "Bens et al" to answer.
Thank you.
