Saudi & Qatari whos fighted on the ground & freed the US Marin's troops & al-khafji city supported by American air strikes & Marin's artillery , Read Washingtonpost Friday, February 1, 1991

I was shocked about what the american guys wrote in this article they changed the history & did'nt mention to Qatar & Saudi troops from the article how they freed the khafji city US marin's troops User:Qatarson



The first few paragraphs have some very POV words, e.g. "juggernaut", "gross confusion" or "valiantly". References to "Lawrence of Arabia" are just as unfortunate. Those sort of formulas should be removed in my view. If no one comes forth in a while, I'll do it myself. --Ebralph 12:05, 21 July 2005 (UTC)Reply


I don't see the reason to remove the 1991 category - it is after all. But I don't see the reason in removing the other categories. --Ebralph 12:13, 5 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Cover up?

Is there any evidence of that at all, and if so, is it any good? This sounds biased to be. Also, why focus of 11 Marines who got killed by blue on blue, when the Iraqi army lost over a thousand killed or captured? Does the press really expect friendly fire incidents to be completely preventable? It used to be much worse. Hundreds were killed in WWII in Normandy due to errant carpet bombing runs.
