President George H. W. Bush's Operation Desert Storm

The Persian Gulf War began with Saddam Hussein, the dictator of Iraq moving his forces into the neighboring country Kuwait mid-1990. During this time Iraq had the fourth largest army in the world, after being supplied by the United Sates during their eight year war with Iran raised some concerns. (Operation Desert Storm) Also with the chance of Iraq controlling one-fifth of the world’s oil supply didn’t sit well with the United States, nor its Allied forces.

Other Arab nations, such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia, asked the U.S. and similar Western countries. He disregarded the UN’s requests to pull back from Kuwait. The war started along with Operation Desert Storm, led by the U.S. 28 other countries also joined to fight Iraq in the war, including Britain, France, and Germany. At the end of the war in 1991, Iraq had been defeated but it had suffered much damage along with Kuwait. Saddam Hussein was not even removed from power so he still continued to rule. In 1992, Bill Clinton was elected as president and his terms in office brought many positive changes. There was less unemployment, less crime, and a budget surplus; however it was all overlooked when Monica Lewinsky showed

On November 8, 1990 President Bush announced a military buildup to provide an offensive option, "Operation Desert Storm," to force Iraq out of Kuwait. The preparation of the operation took two and a half months and it involved a massive air- and sea lift.

Along with other countries, including Egypt, Great Britain, France, Syria, Saudi Arabia any more. As of that moment, “Operation Desert Shield” begins. 230,000 troops are deployed, but as more Iraqi’s are coming to Saudi Arabia, Bush orders another 200,000 troops to defend Saudi Arabia. On January 16, 1991, Bush got congressional promotion to engage in the ‘the most devastating air assault in history military targets in Iraq and Kuwait’ (The Persian Gulf War (Jan. 16, 1991–April 6, 1991). On February 24, 1991, the president also ordered on ground battle to

Operation Desert Storm began January 17th, 1991, with the same mission to go in and set Kuwait free, for their royal family was working as custodians of Islam’s holist shrines, Makkah and Medina. The first weapon that was launch in Operation Desert Storm the TLAM that came from the Red Sea headed towards Baghdad. However it was not the first to hit anything, the Hellfire missile was the first to make an impact causing a gap in the Iraqi’s surveillance radar and the boarders of Saudi Arabia. It also had many more successful hits. Operation Desert Storm lasted forty-three days before the United States.

On August 2, 1990, Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein, attacked Kuwait as a result of overproduction of oil in Kuwait, which had cost Iraq an estimated $14 billion a year when oil process of obtaining the

U.S. President George W. Bush immediately sent out the invasion as well the troops of Britain and the Soviet Union. Operation Desert Shield soon come into play when the first troops of the United States landed in Saudi Arabia as part of a military buildup as well as other troops provided by the NATO and other several Arab nations. In Kuwait, Iraq increased its occupation forces to about 300,000 troops. In order to get support from the Muslim world, Hussein declared a holy war, against the coalition. He also attempted to ally himself with the Palestinian cause by offering to leave Kuwait in return for an Israeli withdrawal from the occupied territories. When these efforts failed, Hussein concluded a hasty peace with Iran so he could bring his army up to full strength.

Yes Desert Storm was a decisively hard and fast undertaking, primarily because it focused one goal only, and that was the removal of the Iraqis army from Kuwait. This operation was not about forced regime change, the great thinking military mind knew better, make it clean make it fast and get the hell out of dodge. The intelligence aspect was key in our victory, it was already in place to some extent from the Iran / Iraq war. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt were selling Saddam weapon, mainly there old junk so that they could replace it with newer weapon systems from the US. Therefore, it makes sense that United States received intelligence from these other nations, they knew if Saddam was not stopped they could be and most likely would

The Iraq-Iran war also known as the Persian Gulf War in 1980 had a huge impact not only both countries but others too, and also had a significant effect on the world. The war was between the nations of Iraq and Iran over Oil in the possession of Iran. The United States joined the war officially in 1984 on the side of the Iraqis and supported their leader Saddam Hussein. However there have been major skepticism towards the involvement of the U.S in the war. Some feel the U.S got involved because It needed to give military aid to Iraq because there were in need of it while other feel otherwise that their involvement was only for their selfish purposes. The United State involvement in the wasn't justified because they

The Persian Gulf War began in August of 1990 and lasted until President George H. W. Bush declared a ceasefire on February 28, 1991. This war was a result of Iraq invading Kuwait in order to gain control of the Persian Gulf and all trading posts in nearby port cities. Saddam Hussein, the president of Iraq, believed that invading and seizing control of Kuwait would give him strategical and economical advantages over the other nations in the region. Once Saddam Hussein ordered the invasion of Kuwait, President Bush and the leaders of other nations sent troops to prepare for a war to break out. The Persian Gulf War was a short, four month war between Iraq and the rest of the world for the freedom of Kuwait.

government officials that were identified as conspirators against the Ba’ath party. (5) His ruthless and brutal dictatorship would bring his country to war with neighboring Iran from 1980 to 1988. Initially a territorial dispute, Hussein would cite Iran’s Islamic fundamentalism as his motives for continued combat and Iraq’s use of chemical weapons. (6) The war resulted in more than 100,000 combat deaths and drove Iraq deep into debt. The military annex of Kuwait in 1991 was intended to absolve Iraq of this financial responsibility to it’s neighbor. (7) The United Nations Security Council, in particular the United States, responded with force to drive Saddam Hussein’s army

Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein ordered the invasion and occupation of neighboring Kuwait in early August 1990. Alarmed by these actions, fellow Arab powers such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt called on the United States and other Western nations to intervene. Hussein defied United Nations Security Council demands to withdraw from Kuwait by mid-January 1991 and the Persian Gulf War began with a massive U.S.-led air offensive known as Operation Desert Storm4. After 42 days of relentless attacks by the allied coalition in the air and on the ground, U.S. President George H.W. Bush declared a cease-fire on February 28; by that time, most Iraqi forces in Kuwait had either surrendered or run away. Though the Persian Gulf War was initially considered an unqualified success for the international coalition, simmering conflict in the troubled region led
