IRAQI CASUALTIES where is the source for the iraqi casualties? POSSIBLE VANDALISM look at page, since it seems to be prone to vandalism...

[edit] "Iraqi decisive victory"

Someone can explain me the usage of this term, if:

• Iraq's best and overhelming forces suffered greater casualties than enemy
• Kuwaiti forces were not destroyed, and
• In few months they were back in Kuwait - in a true "decisive victory" of the Kuwait's coalition forces

Other than "Saddam is a military genius!", that is  ;) --HanzoHattori 17:33, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

The outcome was decisive both tactically (the Iraqi's won and held the field) and strategically (they conquered Kuwait). The fact that the victory could have been greater isn't of much matter; it was enough. Toby Douglass 19:28, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Needs Kuwait forces and more casaulty estimates

Among other things. --HanzoHattori 14:07, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Where did the aircraft casualties come? I think this invasion involves no air force. Peace. --Nielswik_(talk)

The Iraqi air force did indeed invade Kuwait, with fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, and the Kuwaiti Air Force psdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdflayed a small role in the fight (their air defenses were more effective than their air force, though). See my recent edit, which links a good account of the invasion, with emphasis on the air combat aspect. Hzoi 08:33, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] During the world of warcraft????

Someone has inserted a joke in the cause of conflict section.
