Iraq Admits Missiles
Iraq is now admitting that it fired missiles at Kuwait.
In a statement broadcast by Iraqi television, Iraq's central military command said its units on the Iraq-Kuwait border had pounded "the dens of evil, treachery and tyranny" across the frontier at Ali al-Salem air base, Shuwaikh port close to Kuwait City and Camp Doha, the main U.S. base for its invasion of Iraq....
The salvo, the Iraqi statement said, was an expression of Iraq's "firm determination to teach the criminal invaders, hard lessons and make them taste bitter pain."
Ummm, yeah....if you could hit a bull in the butt those missiles might've been more impressive. Way to blow up the sand, dudes.

Sand? They were aiming for the ocean.

They were not. That was an Iraqi pilot trying to leave Iraq without being shot down. At least that is what his commanding officer told him at the briefing that morning.
