	washingtonpost.com: The 1991 Persian Gulf War
		When Kerry rose in the Senate to oppose authorization for war against Iraq in January 1991, his words conveyed a wary, Vietnam-haunted approach to the use of military force that contrasted sharply with his vote a decade later to go to war a second time against Iraq.
		He was on the losing side of the vote on that war, which turned out to be far less costly in human and financial terms than Kerry and most Democrats -- 45 of the party's 54 senators opposed it -- predicted.
		In a lengthy speech, Kerry touched on most of the arguments that other critics made against going to war: Sanctions had not been given enough time to work; the American people were not prepared for the heavy casualties that might result; the war might spawn further instability in the Middle East.

		The Gulf's counterclockwise current moves the saline water coming through the Strait of Hormuz along the coast of Iran and fresh water and sediment from the Shatt-al-Arab along the very shallow Saudi coastline, providing an ideal habitat for algae, which is the primary link in the food chain for the Gulf's principal fisheries.

		WASHINGTON — As his war planners develop a strategy for invading Iraq, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has been getting a clear message from some architects of the 1991 Persian Gulf War: Don't fight the next war with Iraq the way we fought the last one.
		But much of the script from the 1991 war should be discarded, officials say, because of changes in technology, military forces and international politics.

	A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE I MEF INTELLIGENCE PERFORMANCE IN THE 1991 PERSIAN GULF WAR
		None-the-less, the reinforced 1st SRIG that went to war in the Persian Gulf operated under a set of internal and external perceptions that varied (sometimes widely) between respective MEF commanders and staff officers due to this doctrinal void.
		Most of this type of criticism came from intelligence officers who felt operators wrongly attacked them for their performance in the Persian Gulf, or from those who felt commanders were a major part of the problem.
		During the Persian Gulf War, all services, less the Marine Corps, had a direct link back to intelligence centers that were plugged into the national intelligence apparatus.
