I'd Like To Think I'm A Caring

More Than 200 Ships From 13 Nations Conducted Over 10,000 Flawless Intercepts, Which Formed A Steel Wall Around The Waters Leading To Iraq. And These Operations Continue Today. Thanks To These Superb Efferts Not One Cargo Hold, Not One Crate, Not Even One Pallet Of Seaborne Contraband Even Touched Saddam Hussein's Shores. The Result: Iraq Lost 90% Of Its Imports, 100% Of Its Exports, And Had Its Gross National Product Cut In Half.

If It Had Been Our Intention To Take Iraq, If It Had Been Our Intention To Destroy The Country, If It Had Been Our Intention To Overrun The Country, We Could Have Done It Unopposed.
