Sadman Nobrain. After we carpet bombed them 24/7 for several weeks they were begging to be captured. They wanted to be captured by U.S. forces cause we were "nicer" than the Brits.
@Imaginedwriter well I was sayin if the Brits,US,allies never intervened but you are correct they lost many wars to Isreal the Arab league never got the upper hand only once in the beginning of the yon kipper war but again were quickly defeated,ironically the peace talks in the middle east demands occupied land gained by Isreal in the first war be returned which is most likely not gonna happen.problem is the Arabs like the Russians are not good at tactical warfare they just rush and it cost the
Scary to think if nothing was done he would have moved into Eygpt or at least would have maybe had his pan Arab army makes ya wonder how the future would be,think of all the implications it would have a great what if scenario
@BasqueNYC The entire arab world is pathetically weak, they were all beaten in 6 days by Israel so even if he took all that territory he would still be undone by the might of Rome I mean America.
@ImaginedWriter The only reason the Israel’s won the 6 day war . is cause the fuckers are & still week on the ground attack, they fought by air combat & attacked all military air basses with a sneak attack.fuck! even the markava “gods chariot” 4th generation in 2006 war with Lebanon failed to prove its strength & to put fear there enemy. Israel’s, they were not fight against an army but “gorillas” & still they lost the war against 2,000 men with AK-47’s ..would you like a history lesson?
@Iphone13000 Wow really? Are you one of those people in America that can't locate Iraqi on a map? the Persian gulf is a waterway between Iran and Saudi Arabia
First of all Kuwait was never its own country until british colonization of the middle east. All Musllim countries were under one umbrella empire.
Also, they keep saying saddam was brutal but don't mention that the united states supported Saddam against Iran even when he started using chemical weapons in warfare and against innocent civillians even in his own country. The united states is not some freaking savior from heaven that came to save Kuwait from certain destruction; thats jus bullshit
its called the persian gulf thousands of years ago its still named that way in movies and especially american movies and it will always be the persian gulf
ATTENTION IM LOOKING FOR MARINES VETERANS OF THE GULF!! MY FATHER WAS A MARINE IN THE GULF AND I WANT TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT HIM WHEN HE WAS IN COMBAT IF ANYONE KNOWS/REMEMBERS THE LAST NAME PELLEGRINO FROM THE GULF SEND ME A PM
@310quetzal alright i mean he got a navy cross in desert storm then got it taken away (for giving an order to keep chasing them into iraq) he was a LT at the time Major now and he gave an order saying dont stop shooting chase em back so they entered iraq after the cease fire
all i know is...i was sent there to liberate kuwait......and 8 of my friends were killed by "friendly fire" when american pilots opened up on 2 british warrior armoured personnel carriers....i had to go into the vehicles and pull out injured guys and saw what was left of my 2 best mates!!!!......SO STOP BITCHING ABOUT WHAT KUWAIT IS AND WHAT ITS IMPORTANT FOR!!!!!!
@Cableethernet33000 Iraq fuck them really remember who surrenderd to Noram Shwartskof ohh yeah Saddam whos Air Force was completley destoyed ohh yeah Saddams who is know dead and burrining in hell ohh yeah Saddam
these 3rd world armies. they are big,but not very well armed or trained. size in modern warfare is very usless. bechose modern war is more about mobility. atleast in deserd. in cities are difrent, so are forests.
Fucking bullshit allover the place Iraq one of the largest armies at the time had good athletes had one of the largest percentage of oil Iraq was not bankrupt but saddam was a bad leader and greedy with money
No we can still pay our bills and the US is not bankrupt. The only argument right now is that in the path we are headed, we will be bankrupt. The only way to really solve our problems is to have economic growth, the US economy is in terrible shape, plus the healthcare industry is inflated, which means medicare and medicaid will get more and more expensive.
The only way for us to pay off the debt is to have economic growth, fix the tax code, keep the healthcare industry from further inflation, get rid of lobbyist and special interest in Washington, cap medicare and medicaid benefits, and cut military spending. With that we can pay off the debt, but our politicans are stupid & retarded. Broken government, all they care is themselves and not the Country.
The first step to fix your economy is to cut the 15 biljon Dollars you are giving the Zionist state of Israel .I mean its your money not Israels so you are right the Jewish lobby Apac is damaging your country in many ways and all those puppet senators should move to Israel if they like the country so much .
Redraw your troops and rebuild your country so help you God.
@jasonthemankiller trust me 15 bilion dollars is NOTHING compared to the nearly 1k billion dollar spend on the US militairy, if they cut the military budget in half for 1 year ALL their problems are GONE! (dont fire soldiers it results to unemployment, keep troops in afghanistan, just stop all the useles stuff which are WAY to expensive like these 100k missiles)
@lucasvandam I tell you how much 15 biljon Dollar each years is .
Its 30 000 Dollar for each Americans each year .
Americans are loosing their pensions Americans dont have heath care .
30 000 Dollars is a lots money .With 15 biljon Dollars Americans can save them selfs but the Zionist controlled government is sending that money to save the Zionist state of Israel and with that money Israeli Jews are controlling the world making wars ,you see now whats going on ??
@jasonthemankiller I looked it up, the US gives israel roughly 5 billion dollars a year (send me a link/source if im wrong) there are roughly 250 million americans. so thats 20 dollar a tax payer xD I think you made a calculation mistake. But when we take the US militairy budget and we cut it in half we get (684 /2 = 342 billion) 342 000 000 000 / 250 000 000 = 1368 US dollars a tax payer
1368/20 = 68.4x more effective then your option. How did u get 30 000 by deviding 18 billion/250 million??
Thats right US is giving Israel 5 Biljon Dollars each year but thats only in foreign aid but if you count in the military aid and other aids the real number is 15 Biljon Dollars so please check again !
@jasonthemankiller Give me the official spending source where u found it cus i cant find it, but when we assume ur right, thats still only 60 dollars per tax payer, not 30 000 xD
Its better to cus the militairy budget in half then the aid to another country. BUT cutting in half the militairy budget also includes less money to israel.
Anybody watching this to learn about the conflict needs to understand a couple of things. Kuwait is NOT a legitimate country. Iraq and Kuwait were never separate nations, in fact, the whole region was subject to British colonialism for hundreds of years. The only reason Kuwait was created by the British was to prevent Iraq from exerting control over the Persian Gulf.
Iraq always claimed Kuwait as their territory, legitimately.
Also, Kuwait was stealing Iraqi oil using slant drilling.
@DrOnline82 listen , kuwait is is a separate country to iraq , and i hope iraq gets cut up to three separate states , kudistan , middle iraq and a shiite south . fuck u , fuck iraq , long live kuwait the united states briton and all their allies .
@xfa3ilkhair You claim Kuwait is a separate country to Iraq. By what right? If any territory is at any point free to separate from their nations, Goa would not be a part of India, the United States would share a southern border with the Confederate States of America, Biafra would not be a part of Nigeria, The Basque Country would no longer be Spanish, etc, etc, etc. The only reason Kuwait is independent, is due to oil. In other words: Money trumps law and justice.
@DrOnline82 just shut the fuck up , kuwait is a sovereign nation recognized by the UN . kuwait was never part of that shit hole iraq . stop talking to stupid shit heads who know nothing of the region , come to kuwait and i'll show u what kuwait is ... don't cower behind your computer and give false claims you ignorant unlearned wiki reading scumbag .
@xfa3ilkhair The U.S. makes Kuwait independent. That country is very important to our campaign in the middle east. Where were you stationed in Kuwait, Camp Patriot?
@xfa3ilkhair The other guy is right, if there were no oil to be has the US wouldnt have lifted a finger to help you. It's just an unfortunate fact, its nothing personal. I mean look at all the other countries that have annexed smaller countrys , the US has done NOTHING about that because there is nothing to gain.
Can someone help me out and explain this war to me?
I'm a high school student, but we never get past Vietnam in history classes, so I'm pretty in the dark about events that happened 1970-2000 (I was born in 1993)
@Atroonks The Gulf war started due to the invasion of Kuwait by Iraqi forces under Saddam Hussein in August 2nd, 1990. After Kuwait was defeated and annexed by Iraq, Saudi Arabia feared that Iraq would used it as a possible Saudi Arabia invasion by Iraqi forces so they invited the U.S. and the UN to step up and help defend their country which it did. UN told Iraq to leave Kuwait or military force would be used under UN 678. Since Iraq didn't leave Kuwait, U.S/UN launched Operation Desert Storm
@Atroonks with an air war against military targets in Baghdad and other Iraqi cities that lasted for a month. Then ground war came in on February 23rd when U.S./UN forces attacked Iraqi forces in Kuwait and southern Iraq. 100 hours after ground war begins, Iraq was driven out of Kuwait and U.S./UN forces chased Iraqi troops 150 miles into Baghdad before we pull out of Iraq. The invasion of Kuwait happened because Iraq wanted to steal their oil prices to pay off debt due to Iraq-Iran war....
@Atroonks and it would also affect the U.S. because if Saudi Arabia was invaded along with their oil-fields, it would be a blow to the U.S. economy. It's mostly all about protecting oil. The 2nd reason was also that Iraqi forces was oppressing the Kuwaiti civilians and the invasion of Kuwait would totally eliminate the member of the UN. That's why the U.S.-led coalition intervened in the Persian Gulf region, you can also use the thing called "Google" how did this war begins.
@publicmario17 actually I did try google, and it led me here lol. and I was looking for a straight foward answer which is kinda hard to find on wordy wikipedia. But thanks for your answer =)
Former vet of the 82nd airborne division turned filmmaker. Can you guys please check out my new film's pledge campaign and maybe pledge at the minimum amount. The film is an original independent piece touching on The Persian Gulf War and 2003 Invasion of Iraq. Studios are making it extremely hard for indie to make our films so we have to get creative and turn to kickstarter. You can find the films URL on my hoime page. Thanks and Airborne All the Way.
@easterndragon9x my ass. Governments never go to war for humanity. The masses protest to make the politicians declare war for the humanitarian reasons. Governments only go to war for profit. You are a fool to think other wise. All men of power are corrupted, and the few who aren't are cast aside by their piers.
@setorando2 Italy is not a superpower and nor is Germany. The main superpowers are the Big Five of the United Nations: the USA, Britain, France, Russia, and Communist China. There are others as well, like Israel, Pakistan, India, etc, but they're not really "superpowers"..per say. To also be a superpower, you need a formidable miltiary, a strong economy that will sustain any prolonged war and the homefront simultaneously.
@setorando2 France has nuclear weapons, or so they supposedly do. A superpower is defined as a nation that possesses nuclear capability or has nuclear weapons
how can u call the (Persian Gulf, Iraq I, Operation Desert Storm whatever) a war when it was over quicker than a fart. now, Vietnam about 10 years and 58,000 KIAs-that's an ugly war (in the losing effort too).
@busterbone war is not measured by number of years fought. Usually wars last for multiple years. The gulf war was so quick because the coalition was so wast that they had no chance
I wouldn't be surprised if Kuwait was really stealing oil...!! Iraq came in and blew up Kuwait's Oil Rigs...If he wanted to take control of Kuwait's Oil....why damage the rigs at all? It would make more sense to just take over..!!! If someone was slant drilling and stealing from my country.... I'd do the same thing as Suddam, I guess!!! Doesn't really matter now... just wondering!
@BigWave8750 I think that Iraq lit up the oil rigs because Kuwait was flooding the market with oil and driving prices down which hurt Iraq's oil dealing business.
@ice0162 Persian Was A Race Of People In The Middle East Long Back In Th BCs. Their Empire/Nation/Country Was Known As Babylon.Which Was The Most Technologically Advanced Empire/Nation/Country At That Time
@dasakashdeep babyloan is Iraq! Persians are Iran. And they're an ethnicity, around 120 million of them world-wide. Learn what ethnicity means. Now a days persian can be used btoh as an ethnicity and anationality since the countries still called Persian/Iran. Ethnic Persians can be found in iran, Afghanbistan, tajikestan, china, Russia and persian gulf states.
@SmashMacintosh no one will invade france again, not as long as france maintains its nuclear arsenal and strengthens its military cooperation with the British and the rest of NATO. These days france is the primer military power in western europe.
@Rimasta1 haha Frances army sucks ur right tho no one will invae them because the US will save there ass. haha they would prolly loose against libya if it werent for the US
@sexyloser1128 That isn't true. Saddam invaded Kuwait because of oil. The US only reacted because it was affecting there oil supplies and they wanted to defend Kuwait. Iraq also wanted to invade Israel. The USA are very protective of the Israel, so thats another reason why they joined in.
@Rock2Lamb On July 25th 1990 , Saddam Hussein met with April Glaspie an American ambassador, in Baghdad. According to a transcript of that meeting, Glaspie told the Iraqi delegation, "We have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts" in reference to the border between Kuwait and Iraq. Previously the U.S. had sold arms to Iraq with a record spike in 1982 and Reagan sent Donald Rumsfeld to meet Saddam to cultivate ties. You can read more on Wikipedia and I recommend you stop being uninformed.
@Rock2Lamb I don't deny that Saddam invaded Kuwait for the oil. My point is that Saddam was a receiver of US aid for many years and the US indicated that they wouldn't care if Iraq invaded Kuwait and when Iraq did it appeared the US suddenly changed its mind and designated Iraq as a threat.
How we are not taught about events like these in school is beyond me..

@Atroonks with an air war against military targets in Baghdad and other Iraqi cities that lasted for a month. Then ground war came in on February 23rd when U.S./UN forces attacked Iraqi forces in Kuwait and southern Iraq. 100 hours after ground war begins, Iraq was driven out of Kuwait and U.S./UN forces chased Iraqi troops 150 miles into Baghdad before we pull out of Iraq. The invasion of Kuwait happened because Iraq wanted to steal their oil prices to pay off debt due to Iraq-Iran war....

@Atroonks and it would also affect the U.S. because if Saudi Arabia was invaded along with their oil-fields, it would be a blow to the U.S. economy. It's mostly all about protecting oil. The 2nd reason was also that Iraqi forces was oppressing the Kuwaiti civilians and the invasion of Kuwait would totally eliminate the member of the UN. That's why the U.S.-led coalition intervened in the Persian Gulf region, you can also use the thing called "Google" how did this war begins.

The film is an original independent piece touching on The Persian Gulf War and 2003 Invasion of Iraq. Studios are making it extremely hard for indie to make our films so we have to get creative and turn to kickstarter. You can find the films URL on my hoime page. Thanks and Airborne All the Way.

@easterndragon9x my ass. Governments never go to war for humanity. The masses protest to make the politicians declare war for the humanitarian reasons. Governments only go to war for profit.

@setorando2 Italy is not a superpower and nor is Germany. The main superpowers are the Big Five of the United Nations: the USA, Britain, France, Russia, and Communist China. There are others as well, like Israel, Pakistan, India, etc, but they're not really "superpowers"..per say. To also be a superpower, you need a formidable miltiary, a strong economy that will sustain any prolonged war and the homefront simultaneously.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kuwait was really stealing oil...!! Iraq came in and blew up Kuwait's Oil Rigs...If he wanted to take control of Kuwait's Oil....why damage the rigs at all? It would make more sense to just take over..!!! If someone was slant drilling and stealing from my country.... I'd do the same thing as Suddam, I guess!!! Doesn't really matter now... just wondering!

@BigWave8750 I think that Iraq lit up the oil rigs because Kuwait was flooding the market with oil and driving prices down which hurt Iraq's oil dealing business.

sexyloser1128 11 months ago
@sexyloser1128 That isn't true. Saddam invaded Kuwait because of oil. The US only reacted because it was affecting there oil supplies and they wanted to defend Kuwait. Iraq also wanted to invade Israel. The USA are very protective of the Israel, so thats another reason why they joined in.

Rock2Lamb 11 months ago
@Rock2Lamb On July 25th 1990 , Saddam Hussein met with April Glaspie an American ambassador, in Baghdad. According to a transcript of that meeting, Glaspie told the Iraqi delegation, "We have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts" in reference to the border between Kuwait and Iraq. Previously the U.S. had sold arms to Iraq with a record spike in 1982 and Reagan sent Donald Rumsfeld to meet Saddam to cultivate ties. You can read more on Wikipedia and I recommend you stop being uninformed.
sexyloser1128 11 months ago
@Rock2Lamb I don't deny that Saddam invaded Kuwait for the oil. My point is that Saddam was a receiver of US aid for many years and the US indicated that they wouldn't care if Iraq invaded Kuwait and when Iraq did it appeared the US suddenly changed its mind and designated Iraq as a threat.
