12. That is what stands out for me - it makes no sense

Unless, as in the Kuwaiti-Iraq conflict claims, it turns out to be a fake news propaganda claim. That was taken as true in 1991 and used to support US and international assistance for Kuwait. Which of course, led to US troops in Saudi Arabia, which led to Bin Laden and Al Qaida going after the US for "defiling their sacred land," acts of terror which led to further conflict and see where we are today!
