"You have a call from 2 neighbors and someone living with you that a known criminal who has violated parole before has a gun and is about to attack your house. How much investigation do you do before you call the police?"

In this case, the police inspected the neighbor's house and said he didn't have a gun. Mr Bush then had his people attack the house, destroying a good deal of it, and killed the neighbor's children and some other people who were staying there, though not the neifghbor. What they call "Lynch Law." At the cost of the lives of many of Mr Bush's own people.

An attack on Kuwait was not a declaration of war on the US. GWB or Cheney would have made a point of mentioning it, and they wouldn't have needed the WMD pretext.
