I suppose it is a joke but Kuwait had tanks before that. 200 Yugoslavian M84s.

Of course it's a joke. It's Bill Hicks. Wish he were still around so we could hear what he would make of "But they had 200 Yugoslavian tanks".

I also assume that was the elder Bush (based on your Yugoslavian tanks comment). Since we literally had just fought a war on Kuwait's behalf, arming them seems reasonable.
