Re: Iran won the Gulf War POTM?
As an aside this is a classic problem with interpreting intelligence.
​
The British success in WWII with breaking the enigma cypher led them to believe that Rommel couldn't attack because his supplies were low. The Brits were then surprised by his attack. Rommel had been lying, crying poor to his headquarters to try and get larger allotments.
​
Teaches us to be careful about over relying on this stuff.
