Shortly after Iraq invaded Kuwait on August 2, 1990, author Martin Yant argued in a newspaper column that Saddam Hussein's "military machine" wasn't nearly the menace President Bush said it was. Rather than being a well-equipped and "battle-hardened" million-man Wehrmacht at the command of another Adolf Hitler, Yant suggested that the Iraqi army appeared to be a "war weary," smaller, supply-short force at the command of another Manuel Noriega.
