Well, I think around 0.1% of the posted material were somewhat interesting and worth the read.

Someone mentioned that hundreds (thousands?) of M113 were deployed in Kuwait, but not being used for political reasons.

Not really, that was a rhetorical question if whether the reason that those available weren't used was political or if there perhaps was some other reason.
If suitable for escort duty they would have been crossattached to logistics units, but they weren't.
IMO it was most likely felt that the added protection for the escorting units was not worth the increase in convoy vulnerabilty induced by forcing unprotected trucks to stay longer on the roads in "injun country".
