Gulf War

François Mitterand was President of France from 1981-1995, making him the longest serving French President to date. Those years include 1990-1991 when the Persian Gulf Was took place.

Kuwait was invaded by Iraq, and now remains an independent country.

It was designed to protect Saudi Arabia from an invasion of Iraqi forces.

I think not WHY because he lead the first one

yes because family is family and there are all the same

Iraq imported only non important quantities of uranium; also the technology was at the beginning. A specific US fraud.

because they wanted to save their town and their lives

There is yet to be published any "direct links" of the 2001 attack and the 1991 Desert Storm operation in Southwest Asia.

M1A2 Hands down, the T80 is okay on cross country but the Abrams has much more advanced fire control systems, armaments, suspension system, armor, Superior off road performance, and the ability to fire on the move. (Correction: The T-80 has the ability to fire on the move as well. And has more potent armament. The 2A46 is 8% more powerful being a 125mm vs the M256 120mm, definitely a small difference but it makes the answerer's claim incorrect. The T-80 also has gun launched ATGMs which vastly out range 120mm rounds from the L/44 M256. Both T-80 and Abrams use Torsion bar suspension, however the Abrams weighs much more and has grown heavier over time, the suspension has not changed to reflect this. It should be considered at risk of becoming a weakness.)

Over 900,000 coalition military members were deployed to Desert Storm.

The simple answer would be not to have attempted an invasion of Iran in September of 1980. This resulted in a costly war between the two, which lasted for eight years, cost both countries vast amounts of money and resources, and left the Iraqi military reeling from losses which it was a long way from recovering from in 1990.

This would also have alleviated the reason Saddam launched an invasion of Kuwait, which in turn could've prevented both the Persian Gulf war and the ongoing war in Iraq.

so that our forces can use advanced tactics like uma unmanned aircraft or more know as a predator which can be used for recon of enemy territory

The sunni and shia religions started attacking each other for awhile after Saddam was given the death penalty and some of the religious minorities were attacked in Iraq by people involved with terrorism as well just for being a different religion. Some were worried it would turn into a civil war splitting the country.

The VA reserves the right to administer their programs on what they consider appropiate US military conflicts. Often times they can be VERY SPECIFIC; they will want to know, specifically, which Gulf War (which conflict/which Operation): 1. Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988); the US was involved with this war: the USS Stark was struck by an Iraqi missile, killing many US Sailors. The USS Vincennes shot down an airliner. 2. Operation Desert Storm (January and February 1991). 3. Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003- )

Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988/89).

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.

Well, he was executed on December 30, 2006. So I think he's rather indifferent to the idea of another war with anyone.

"Andy McNab" is the pseudonym of a real person who served in the British Army from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s, initially as an infantryman in the Royal Green Jackets (now subsumed into The Rifles), and then as a member of 22 SAS Regt.. His real name is now a matter of public record... easily found if the right searches are made.

Korean War 1950-1953 Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988

Operation Desert Storm was conducted from January to Febuary 1991; it lasted less than 60 days. Operation Desert Shield preceeded it in 1990; the build up of military forces.

The US supported Iraq during their war with Iran (1980-1988).

In February 2001, GDLS were contracted to supply 240 M1A2 tanks with a system enhancement package (SEP) by 2004. The M1A2 SEP contains an embedded version of the US Army's Force XXI command and control architecture; new Raytheon commander's independent thermal viewer (CITV) with second-generation thermal imager; commander's display for digital colour terrain maps; DRS Techologies second-generation GEN II TIS thermal imaging gunner's sight with increased range; driver's integrated display and thermal management system.
