What is the difference between the Iraq war in 1991 and in 2003?
Operation Desert Storm (Jan-Feb 1991) was a military campaign fought against the Nation of Iraq to remove them from the nation of Kuwait. Which was successfully done. Operation Iraqi Freedom commencing in 2003 to present, was originally fought to remove Saddam from power. This was successfully done. Operation Iraqi Freedom currently involves the restoring of LAW & ORDER, & STABILIZATION of the nation of Iraq. Violators, terrorists, insurgents, and other criminal activities, have "WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE" posters out on them. It is the intent of the Coalition Forces & Iraqi Government, to arrest or stop these people, try them in a court of law, and administer justice accordingly. As had happened to Saddam; he was executed.
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.
Why did the US get involved in the Desert Storm?
To remove Iraq from Kuwait; which was done.
Why did the removal of Saddam Hussein fail to bring peace to Iraq?
because all it did was make the Al Quida people even more mad because they did not like the United States to start off and now we are trying to push our government on other countries..... The fact that Bush messed them over probably doesn't help matters either
