Was all the oil fields set on fire by Saddam Hussein now put out?

Saddam Hussein did not set very many oil fields on fire, except a few to keep them from falling into NATO hands. Indeed, that conflict was nineteen years ago, and all fires inflicted at the time have been since dealt with. A massive oil spill where Iraq dumped 400 million gallons of crude oil into the Persian Gulf has also been dealt with.

Did Saddam Hussein use military force to keep his power?

Yes, Saddam Hussein used military force to maintain his power in Iraq. He relied on a strong military and security apparatus to suppress dissent, eliminate political opposition, and enforce loyalty within the government and society. His regime was characterized by brutal tactics, including violent crackdowns on uprisings and the use of chemical weapons against both internal and external adversaries. This reliance on force was a key aspect of his authoritarian rule.

How did the US use military force during the Reagan and Bush administrations and did military actions achieve the expected goals?

OK to keep this semi short. Saddam Hussein invaded the oil rich kingdom of Kuwait and attacks neighboring Saudi Arabia. The U.S is low on oil and Saudi Arabia is an ally so Bush uses all the weaponry Reagan had designed and stockpiled so we kicked Saddam's army back were they came from using high tech stealth bombers, M1A Abrams and other high tech weapons. Yes i do think we achieved our goal of securing Saudi Arabia and Kuwait from Saddam Hussein.

Why did you want to remove Saddam Hussein from power?

George W. Bush wanted to finish "Daddy's war" and look good to those pulling the strings behind the power in Washington. There was no real reason to finish Saddam Hussein off, he was a strongman in the Middle East and the United States and other powers understood that style of leadership and as long as things remained "stable" in the Middle East all was good. "W" did it by lying about the dangers which Saddam posed to stability, particularly about weapons of mass destruction (nukes). He lied to the people of the US and the world. We bought his lies and invaded. This is not to say Saddam was a good guy, he wasn't, but there are a lot of leaders just like him in the Middle East and we can work with them because they keep things good enough for the United States to pursue their interests in the world. Sorry for giving such a cynical answer, but it is the truth.

Why didn't the US take Saddam out of power at desert storm?

First, that wasn't the mission. The UN only sanctioned a mission to dislodge Iraqi forces from Kuwait, not charging onto Baghdad and overthrow Saddam Hussein from power. The mission was a success and once the routed Iraqi forces crossed back to the Iraqi border from Kuwait after being expelled by U.S. and UN forces in February 1991, the mission was declared complete and a ceasefire agreement was signed between UN forces and Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Since the 1991 Gulf War ceasefire agreement, the U.S. maintained presence in the Persian Gulf since to keep an eye out of Saddam Hussein's aggression. This include the Iraqi no-fly zones enforced by U.S. and British(along with France until they withdrew from the no-fly zone patrol in 1998) aircraft patrols to protect the Kurds in northern Iraq and Shia Muslims in the south from attacks by the Iraqi Air Force, the continuing UN economic sanctions against Iraq, ongoing UN inspections of Saddam's WMDs program, and so on.Second, most of the U.S.-led Coalition agreed to a UN mission to rid Iraqi forces from Kuwait, not going onto Baghdad and remove Saddam from power. If George Bush Senior unilaterally exceeding the UN mandate to spread the war onto Baghdad and topple Saddam Hussein's regime, the coalition that he put up would have collapsed and the U.S. can be seen in the eyes of the international community as the aggressors. I don't think Bush Senior want to with that.Third, George Bush Senior also said the reason why he didn't charge onto Baghdad and take out Saddam Hussein in 1991 because of geopolitical interests in Turkey, Syria, and Iran. As he mentioned in his 1998 book, "The Worlds Transformed", if he actually take Saddam Hussein out of power in Baghdad, Iraq would have plunged into a never ending tribal civil war between warring factions, destablized the region, stregetening Iran's influence, possibly leading to a pro-Iranian Shiite government, possibly cause Iraqi Kurdistan to be destabilized, make the Kurds in Turkey demand independence and start a war there with the help of Iraqi Kurdistan, and U.S. forces would be stuck in Iraq for years in an unwinnable guerrilla warfare with thousands of lives lost and trillions were sucked out from the U.S. of rebuilding the whole country of Iraq. So Bush Senior decide to let Saddam stay in power and keep in eyes of check of factions as well as watching out of Iran. Which i think it was the best political decision ever made by the first Bush administration.Unlike George Bush Junior, he pretty much did in 2003 that meaning no coalition and went onto Iraq desipte the consequences Bush Senior made and cause the world to turn against the USA.
