Hussein

In August 1990, a great threat was before the United States as Saddam Hussein was rallying his army to storm Kuwait. The threat was a major problem since “Kuwait was a major supplier of oil.” (ushistory.org) Hussein was not only hostile towards Kuwait, but he was also threatening Saudi Arabia. (ushistory.org) Just like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia is also a major oil supplier to the United States. If Iraq took control of both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, Iraq would control one fifth of the world’s oil supply

The Persian Gulf War             The reason why the Persian Gulf War happened needs to go back to what happened after the long lasting war between Iran and Iraq.  Iran and Iraq ministers met in Geneva looking for peace.  Saddam Hussein surprisingly was willing to give up the territories that his troops occupied a long time ago to dissolve the conflict.  Just two weeks later, Saddam Hussain accused Kuwait for transporting oil from the Ar-Rumaylah oil field located on their common border illegally

attacks took place on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. This led to the war in Afghanistan. Also during this time period Saddam Hussein was in power of Iraq. The Bush Administration claimed that the invasion was the right thing to do because Hussein was working with the Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden on the 9/11 attacks. They wanted to invade Iraq and stop Hussein. To do this legally however, they must prove that they began the war out of self defense or retaliation, or they must present valid

war since its creation in 1776. Notably, one of the most crucial wars was the War on Terror. Beginning in March of 2003, this war initially served the purpose of getting rid of the country 's leader Saddam Hussein to prevent his use of suspected stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. Hussein was best-known as a Middle Eastern ruler with a violent regime.

Rhetorical analysis assignment: President’s Address to the Nation Since the 9/11 attacks, the Bush administration has been calling every citizens and every nations to support his Middle East policy.
