Originally posted by Hawk In General Norman Schwartzkopf interviews with Frost (One-on-One with David Frost: General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, Friday, 4:20 p.m.), the ins and outs of the first Gulf War are also discussed, with the Schwartzkopf recounting the tactical and political considerations, events leading up to the war, and the decision to stop advancing at the Kuwait-Iraq border.

I do not know who he is referring to as stopped at the Kuwait-Iraq border, maybe the Marines. My unit was at least 344 kilometers into Iraq when we stopped, poised to take out Baghdad. The Turkish forces on the other side of Baghdad had the same intentions.
What amazes me is how little people stateside actually know 13 years later about what happened in the Gulf War and how little has actually been released to the public.
