In the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991, the stated aim was the liberation of Kuwait from Iraqi Occupation.In the Iraq War of 2003-2011, the stated aim was the removal of weapons of mass destruction from Iraq.
The reason as to why the United States went to war Iraq remains contentious. The official reason given however was to remove a regime that was developing and using the weapons of mass destruction.The Initial Official Justification was that Iraq was creating Weapons of Mass DestructionThe primary reason given by the administration of George W. Bush was that Saddam Hussein, the leader of Iraq, was engaged in the production or acquisition of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). These are nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons (examples are the anthrax letter attacks in the US and the Sarin gas attacks in Tokyo--neither of which had any connection to Iraq). It was suggested that Hussein might provide these weapons to terrorists to attack the US. He had already used chemical weapons sold to him by the US against Iran, and also against Iraqi Kurds. Before the war UN inspectors announced they had found no evidence of WMDs, despite unfettered access. After the war was under way, additional investigation concluded Saddam did not have WMDs.
UN Inspectors came to Iraq to collect Saddam's vast arsenal (at that time) of chemical and biological weapons. Since that point, Iraq had had to comply with such inspections until the fall of Saddam's regime.
Continuously allow UN weapons inspectors to make sure that Iraq was not trying to create weapons of mass destruction.

Saddam may have used chemical warfare during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988).
Which Second Gulf War? The Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991 was about Iraq's military annexation of Kuwait and the United Nations Coalition that intervened to restore the antebellum condition. The Iraq War of 2003-2011 has unclear causes but was the American invasion of Iraq ostensibly to recover weapons of mass destruction which were never found.
Yes. Halite deposits are found along the Gulf Coast.
