Video released yesterday. It’s in arabic but it’s pretty good.
Werner Herzog’s Lessons of Darkness is also a great depiction of the damage done during and after the invasion. I couldn’t find a link to a streaming video unfortunately, but it’s worth looking for if you haven’t seen it.
Lets talk about this special anniversary. How many Kuwaitis actually stayed in Kuwait & how many ran like girls when Iraq came? I remember very well seeing most Kuwaitis on the tv or news partying in Europe while i volunteered to fight & I DID. Do a report on what REALLY happened during these times not the fake patriotic stuff.
