:01:21
The 28 countries...
:01:22
with forces in the Gulf area...
:01:24
have exhausted all reasonable efforts...
:01:27
to reach a peaceful resolution,
:01:30
have no choice...
:01:31
but to drive Saddam
from Kuwait by force.
:01:44
A great battle has been initiated.
:01:46
The mother of all battles.
:01:48
Our objectives...
:01:50
in the Persian Gulf are clear,
:01:52
our goals defined.
:01:54
Iraq must withdraw from Kuwait...
:01:57
completely, immediately,
:01:59
and without condition.
:02:06
The liberation of Kuwait...
:02:08
has now entered a final phase.
:02:10
I have therefore directed
to use all forces available,
:02:14
including ground forces,
:02:15
to eject the Iraqi army from Kuwait.
:02:20
At this point it seems inevitable...
:02:22
that the ground war is only hours away.

:02:36
Don't ever for one minute
underestimate the enemy,
:02:40
but remember, we're better soldiers.
:02:41
We're fighting with better equipment,
we're better trained and a lot smarter.
:02:46
Sleep deprivation.
Our soldiers been up 46, 48 hours,
:02:50
so stay on top of 'em.
Maintain your intervals.
:02:52
Any questions?
:02:55
Let's have a little prayer.
:02:57
Dear God, protect us...
:02:58
as we protect our country
we so dearly love.
