Nope, the Soviet missiles were withdrawn as the US demanded.


So,US nuclear tipped missilles were also withdrawn as the USSR demanded.
Correct?

The British troops who took Southern Iraq and Basra tend to disagree
about the going it alone bit.

Honestly I admire British "Great Game" playing skills.
They returned to South iraqi oil fields using US card and I am also pretty sure
they will return to northern oil fields by using EU card in near future.
Texan or Alabamian nativity is not a very good credential when it comes to
playing "The Great Game" with the Brits.

Iraq started GW1 with the 4th largest army in the world and
a large AF and air defence system, of course when it was over ....


With US encouragement of course.
Iraq had to start GW1 so that US could start with the implementation of
Kissingers plan called "Seizing Arab Oil
".Germany had a larger population than any 10 states combined
and controlled the combined industries of western europe
and couldnt even beat Britain.

You seem to forget that the British Empire in 1939 stretched from N.America to
Africa,from Europa to Mideast,From Subcontinent to the down under.
Can you give us an idea about the Human and natural resources controlled by
British Crown in 1939?
Actually I thing the Brits had the finest fighting force Germans faced during
WWII,
