For those that remember, General Norman Schwarzkopf's famed press conference at the end of Operation Desert Storm 28 February 1991. (I meant to post this on Sunday on the 30 year anniversary of the event, but time got away from me.) I've you've never It's worth the hour or so to do so. Gen. Schwarzkopf kicks @$$ and takes no prisoners.

we shouldn't have stopped at the border back then, maybe we wouldn't have had to go back and start that crap all over again.
