	Wages of War -- Appendix 2: Iraqi Combatant and Noncombatant Fatalities in the 1991 Gulf War
		Turning to Iraqi military casualties in the 1990-1991 Gulf War: we conclude that between 20,000 and 26,000 were killed.
		During the 1990-1991 Gulf War, 42 days of coalition air attack on dispersed and dug-in Iraqi ground forces produced an average fatality rate of approximately 2.5 percent, according to interviews with captured Iraqi officers (Aspin and Dickenson 1992).
		One example from the Gulf War is the attack on Iraqi convoys along the "highway of death" at the conflict's end.

		After the war, Secretary of State James Baker undertook several trips to the Middle East in an effort that resulted of an international conference on Arab-Israel peace jointly sponsored by the United States and the Soviet Union in Madrid in October 1991.
		As a whole, the battles of the ground war showed that American military maneuverability clearly outclassed the plodding tactics of the Iraqis, who emphasized pitched engagements and linear movements as they had been taught by their Soviet advisers.
		On January 29 1991, an Iraqi force, apparently comprising two infantry and one tank battalions, crossed the Kuwait border in the south-eastern front and headed in the direction of Khafji, a deserted Saudi town, some 12 miles from the frontier.

	1991 Gulf War
		The prevailing notion amongst war planners just after the Gulf War was that unless we could get a more U.S.-compliant dictator like Saddam to take over, we might as well just leave Saddam in power.
		Despite the fact that the Administration knows that the population of Iraq will pay the highest price in a war, it is an opportunity too ripe and too serendipitous for G. Bush and his cabal of megalomaniacs to ignore.
		War would not have started if education of the U.S. public about the roots of the crisis and truth of Bush Administration policy had been possible.

	V.A. to Study Toxins' Effects From 1991 Gulf War
		In a report released at a news conference here, the panel, the Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses, broke with earlier study groups by pointing to chemical exposures during the war, not the effects of combat stress, as the primary cause of what has sometimes been called Gulf War Syndrome.
		She said many soldiers serving in the war were exposed to three sources of neurotoxins: Iraqi sarin nerve gas dispersed when weapons caches were destroyed; pesticides and insect repellents used by American troops on skin, clothing and tents where they camped; and the drug pyridostigmine bromide, given to troops to protect them against nerve gas.
		Steele said that nearly a third of veterans of the gulf war report long-lasting health problems like chronic pain; difficulty with balance and memory; and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease.

		Verse 29: "At the time appointed (by God) he shall return and come into the south; but it shall not be successful as were the former invasions of Egypt." Clearly Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was not successful and the reference to Egypt could be allegorical.
		During the 1991 Gulf War hundreds of oil wells in Kuwait were set ablaze by Saddam Hussein causing the sun to be obscured for months.
		George Bush's decision to prematurely halt the war on Purim 1991 when the Iraqi army could have been annihilated, may portend the eventual destruction of the Jewish nation by the hand of some of these same forces.

	Remember the 1991 Gulf War
		We continue to prosecute the war." On the next day, February 26, 1991, Saddam Hussein announced on Baghdad radio that Iraqi troops had, indeed, begun to withdraw from Kuwait and that the withdrawal would be complete that day.
		According to an article in the March 11, 1991 Washington Post, headlined "U.S. Scrambles to Shape View of Highway of Death," the U.S. government then conspired and in fact did all it could to hide this war crime from the people of this country and the world.
		This deliberate campaign of disinformation regarding this military action and the war crime that it really was, this manipulation of press briefings to deceive the public and keep the massacre from the world is also a violation of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the right of the people to know.

	HIR \| Why the 1991 Gulf War? To Protect Iranian Islamism.
		Consider: before the 1991 Gulf War there was the Iran-Iraq war, during which we had the Iran-Contra affair, the scandal of which revealed US policies to be strengthening Iran against Iraq.
		And throughout the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, Iran received secret shipments of US weapons, which became a great embarrassment to the Reagan administration when this became known in 1986 (this was called, alternately, ‘Iran-gate’ and the ‘Iran-Contra scandal’).
		But notice that the general “defines his own mission as one of persuading the Gulf Arabs that Iraq had superseded Iran as their chief threat.” His mission was therefore not to warn the Gulf Arabs of a real danger, but to persuade them to believe in a particular, supposed danger.
