please expand on how the Harrier's hover capability makes it a more effective ground attack platform, I could use a good laugh.
The ability to refuel or re-arm without needing a runway (ie without leaving the immediate area) was one of the original design goals of the project. It is even detailed in the promotional films of the time.

Oh, and another lesson on Islam wouldn't go astray either please
What would you like to know?

Maybe we could start with this:

"Those who reject Islam must be killed. If they turn back (from Islam) take (hold of) them and kill them wherever you find them' - Surah 4.89, The Noble Quran

and tell me exactly what it was that Saddam did to the US
Invaded Kuwait using US-made weapons and tactics, thus threatening a major source of US oil supplies. Killed as many Americans as they could using the same weapons. Or do you think the US liberated Kuwait because they like sand?

You are elevating ignorance to an art form...
