Desert Storm 1/10

[Dbusdriver71]

Why is it the foreign press or some foreign news agency always seems to be more accurate about the true events and happenings as to america's wars than the american press does?

[michaelfoureyes]

this prob on vhs.

[svobobo]

@michaelfoureyes

Yep. Old and bad VHS.

[Hperman09]

Those hippies should go to Kuwait and ask them if they live better under Iraqi's rule. Dirty cunts.

[baldwinjackson41]

Im just 13 some one please explain why the U.N. attaked Iraq and why Kuait and Iraq were fighting in the first and if this is over why are we still in Afgan and Iraq

[svobobo]

@baldwinjackson41

Check out the Youtube video The Prize (Part 7 of 8) - "The Tinderbox" It tells the whole story of Mid East oil since 50's.

[RomeAndMarty4Ever]

@baldwinjackson41 Iraq was in economic turmoil with major debts to pay after their war with Iran. Kuwait has major oil resources and was an easy target for Iraq to invade. Iraq had no justification for going into Kuwait so the U.N. removed Iraq troops from Kuwait through military force. The Gulf War has nothing to do with Afghanistan. The Gulf War began the confrontation between Saddam and the U.S. and Iraq invading Kuwait confirmed to the world that Saddam was a threat and unpredictable.

[kakashi76767]

@baldwinjackson41 Kuait was "slant drilling" into iraq for oil. they were building oil wells on Kuait's soil but underground the wells went into Iraqi terrority. so they were stealing Iraq's oil. Iraq was not pleased so they invaded Kuait. The countries of Iraq, Kuait, and most other middle eastern nations was determined by the British after world war 2 (dont ask me why). So Iraq also claimed that Kuait was only a country becuase they sold oil to England and the US. Which is true.

[boazandjiacinth]

@baldwinjackson41 Iraq invaded Kuwait... i am not saying anymore than that.

[OmarDammam03]

@baldwinjackson41

I think I can explain that

Kuwait and Iraq were not fighting .. Iraq attaked Kuwait to be the first step toward taking over the region under their authority.

At that time the Iraqi army were more than the population of adults in Kuwait .. So there wasn't fighting .. It was a big country wants to show off its power over its small neighbour.

[pickmeplz100]

@baldwinjackson41 it was over Saddam Hussein, he invaded Kuwait to get their oil. we are still in Iraq and afghan because of the Taliban and alqadie

[fazorator]

We can not fight man to man , Sadam that was a major FAIL LOL.

[ericsantiago011]

why they war with each other?

[BEARARMZ]

saddam was truly an idiot for thinking americans only rely on technology and they cannot win man to man

[MyLadySakura]

Thanks for the upload!

[kksf1979]

gawd - Sometimes the army, with all their massive amounts of money, excellent personnel and fantastic equipment always make some ignorant remark: Code name - 'get some' what a dick head - have some dignity/remain professional when you are just about to kill people and not some macho chode!

[tubebellator]

is it me or saddam was right? the americans never fight man to man, they lost in iraq and afghanistan after all

[EdwardRommel]

@tubebellator

What's wrong with using high technology? The Roman army used high technology.

Sadaam was stupid to think he could take on the US military...that's why he's dead now!

[jonesy97]

@tubebellator Fighting man to man is for the boxing, of MMA ring. This is the 21st century. Only 3rd world countrys fight man to man. You can wear the uniform of your country's Army, stand out in the open, and say, "Here I am. Come and fight me, man to man." You, sir, are a dead man. You've lost. You think the Taliban fight like that? They're cowards who plant bombs in the dead of night. They will never adopt the mano e mano chivalry.

[Insurgent999]

@tubebellator Americans do fight man to man. They are called Infantry. Look at Fallujah. American soldiers are superior to Iraqis and Talibs. Look at the kill ratio.

Yes Americans use high technology. If Saddam had it, Im sure he would use it to. I'd say Muslims seem to be more dedicated fighters overall. Americans are losing moral. So they have that advantage.

[JSCincorporated]

code word: GET SUM! 

[hafiidz3]

what biological weapon...? it is all a lies created by the americans ! they only want to topple saddam & install a puppet government in iraq !

[JSCincorporated]

the ones he used on his one ppl, those biological weapons

[MasterTxJ]

Anyone know of the state of the debris falling back down to the ground from all of those AA guns in Baghdad?

[DSMeclipsegst]

haha america and britan cant fight man to man andcan never win a battle LMFAO US pwns all nations but UK and itself UK pwns all nations but US and itself US+UK owns the whole world

[Kelthuzad126]

i can't stand dirty hippies, if they don't like war they should move to the amazon away from all civilization.

[Kelthuzad126]

That's funny Saddam talking smack, and in the end he was hung like an animal by the very same people he terrorized for decades all thanks to the US.

[umlarmy]

I like to hear both side viewed about the war.. not only the American but Iraqis too...

we'll know so much about Americas firepower how they attack, what technology involved and etc...

what about Iraqis? how they defend themselves from this aggression? how they planning the war?

I'm neutral and want to take a deep view of the pass history..

[Suppressingfire]

Agreed.

[jeetendrag10]

@umlarmy you should see the hidden wars of desert storm documentary.

even if these documentaries point out the machiavelsim of the west,and the greed and absolute forked tongue philosophy of the west,it also points out that arab nations get what they are getting becasue they have a high propensity for war and bloodshed.Hence,they can't join forces to win,as they are always infighting for 2000 year old reasons.

[LIonsrb30]

@umlarmy.... you cant be neutral, if your not with us.. your against us! simple as that

[umlarmy]

@LIonsrb30 wow.. statement from the world "police"..

[gbhax121]

@umlarmy They couldn't.

[umlarmy]

@gbhax121 They what?

[mkz42279]

@umlarmy Aljazeera made a series of interviews with major leaders of the Republican army. It is on youtube but it is in Arabic. Also Iraq's TV made few interviews during the 90's.



[umlarmy]

@mkz42279 It's good if someone could translate or put subtitle to the video.

[mkz42279]

@umlarmy Yes, Unfortunately I don't know how to add subtitles for videos.

[umlarmy]

@mkz42279 You can find tutorial to add subtitle in Google.

[TheRealTaco87]

Sounds like a ww2 propaganda film at the begining with the music and montage.

[DisturbedBunn]

I still remember going with my mom and older sister to see my dad off before he was deployed from Ansbach. I was only 5.

[AZmejia]

3,000 antiaircraft guns, they where loaded

[core1976scotland]

I was @ school when that started.

[kalzx]

i was jerking off when it started

[Horsesboy85]

Let us never forget Michael Scott Speicher MIA since January 91. May we one day find him.

[CrazyHermit]

those morons have him somewhere in the arab world, but we will find him and bring him home

[phoenixmission]

Great documentary, thanks for uploading it.

[reddevilneck]

coalition was always in fear of chemical attacks thet thought this war could kill thousands of coaliton troops

[OSUFan1972]

Saddam knew he couldn't use chemical weapons because he knew that if he did, he would face a nuclear response from the US if he used chemicals on Allied troops and from Isreal if he used them on Isreal.

[MAKER6450]

i can hardly hear this vid

[saggest]

the goverment might have other goals in war but the troops are the the good guys fighting to help ppl

[mmmbrame]

agreed

[gopconservative78]

Like most arabs couldn't fight.....just like the French

[Jesusisyhwh]

Iraq was a cakewalk. However, it is better to plan for the worst.

[MAKER6450]

cakewalk huh? you took the place then just walked away...and now look, youre back there and its been going on for 8 years now. shouldve finished the job when it was a "cakewalk"....it only took 10 years to find out the job wasnt done.

[illiniman06]

actually they considered defeating the iraqi military a cakewalk

it was.

the insurgency was much much much much much more difficult. however the insurgench is basically non-existent now (only a few suicide attacks happen every month) also Iraq started in 2003..not 8 years ago (we invaded afghanistan 8 years ago (more like 7.5 really) but the taliban was easy to destroy..but much like iraq, afghanistan was a difficult country to take care of.
