He assembled the international coalition that successfully prosecuted the war in the Persian Gulf against Iraq's Saddam Hussein, who invaded Kuwait on Aug. 1, 1990. Through "Operation Desert Storm," the coalition forces drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait in a little more than a month after the offensive was launched on January 17, 1991.

A second Bush accomplishment was the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), which was signed on July 31, 1991, with Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev. START represented the largest and most complex arms control treaty in history, and its final implementation in late 2001 resulted in the removal of about 80 percent of all strategic nuclear weapons then in existence.

Has any us president ever bowed to a foreign leader?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First, while this is a Republican talking point, there is little truth to it. There are actual news photos online of George W. Bush bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia, and also kissing him on the cheek. And Mr. Obama has also bowed his head in front of a world leader whose custom was not to shake hands. When you are a head of state, you are expected to understand the customs and beliefs of other countries. So, yes, both Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama have bowed their head in front of certain kings. This is not an unusual thing to do, and does not mean you are worshiping that person-- it is simply a sign of respect.

Did George Bush propose a law to ban same-sex marriage?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are referring to the senior George Bush, no.

If you are referring to the junior George Bush, the answer is still no.

The federal law banning federal recognition of same-sex marriage dates to 1996, during the Clinton administration, which occurred between the two Bush administrations.

During the junior Bush's presidency, there was a proposal to amend the constitution of the United States to ban same-sex marriage. This is a constitutional amendment, not a law. It was not proposed by President Bush. It was defeated in the legislature and never made it to Bush's desk for signature or veto.

Was George H W Bush in the army?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

George was a Naval Aviator. He has two stories of cotroversy surrounding his name. In one instance, he was on a bombing training flight, when he 'lost' his engine. Instead of 'pickling' his ordnance (bombs), he ditched the aircraft, with the bombs still attached. That shortened his glide distance & time aloft. The suggestion being panic. Later, he was reportedly shot down in the Pacific, bailing out. The submarine "Finback" picked him up. Allegedly, his only official account was made by the Captain of the Finback, who wrote that Bush said his crew bailed out over the island of Chichijima - OR - after he was 'hit.' He didn't know where his crew was? that's nuts. Why would any aircraft commander bail out, not knowing where his crew was. No reason was given as to why they would have had an excuse to bail out over Chichijima.
