	Persian Gulf - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Persian Gulf (Persian: خلیج فارس, Arabic: الخليج الفارسي) is an extension of the Gulf of Oman in between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
		Countries with a coastline on the Persian Gulf, called the Persian Gulf States, are (clockwise, from the southeast): United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar on a peninsula off the Saudi coast, Bahrain on an island, Kuwait and Iraq in the northwest, and Iran in the north.
		In 1991 the Persian Gulf again was the background for a Persian Gulf War as Iraq invaded Kuwait and was subsequently pushed back during what is now predominantly known as the Persian Gulf War, despite the fact that this conflict did not focus primarily on the Persian Gulf.

	First Gulf War
		The war that we view in retrospect as a disastrous and costly war was conceived by Saddam Hussein as a limited conflict against a fragile Iran.
		First of all, seventy-five percent of the Iraqi army was Shiite while the government itself was Sunni.
		The war is little known today and even before Desert Storm, the Second Gulf War, few people cared or thought it significant that modern weapons and mediaeval courage were vying on the battlefield for dominance.

		Had the inspections been given a fair chance and the opinions of our allies and the international community respected, it might have turned out in a month or two or three that there was truly no alternative to the use of military force to disarm Iraq and enforce the various UN resolutions.

	Veterans of first Gulf War have more chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia
		More than a decade after the first Gulf War in 1991, a detailed comparison of the health of veterans who were deployed to the Persian Gulf region and veterans who served elsewhere has found that the health of the two groups is very similar.
		The proportion of Gulf War veterans with these two illnesses is very small, according to lead author Seth Eisen, M.D., physician at the St. Louis Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center and professor of medicine and psychiatry at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
		For the study, researchers performed a detailed series of medical and psychiatric assessments on approximately 1100 veterans deployed to the Gulf War region and 1100 veterans who were not deployed in that war.

	Gulf War Health
		These symptoms were indeed more common in Gulf War veterans, but have been seen in every war in which the United States has participated.
		The majority of symptoms seen after the first Gulf War were due to a specific exposure that has yet to be discovered (e.g., an undiagnosed infection, low levels of nerve gas).
		Returning Iraqi War veterans have been exposed to a war with greater numbers of combat and civilian casualties, longer periods of intense fighting and bombings, fear of surprise attacks and ambushes, lack of sleep, harsh weather conditions, and knowledge of the lack of international support and frequent war protests.

		This is not really a surprise, considering the relative brevity of the war compared to the serious long-term consequences of the disease from which many veterans suffer.
		Following the end of the war, relations between Iraq and Kuwait deteriorated; with a lack of gratitude from the Baghdad government for help in the war and the reawakening of old issues regarding the border and Kuwaiti sovereignty.

		Although the war was a decisive military victory for the coalition, Kuwait and Iraq suffered enormous property damage, and Saddam Hussein was not removed from power.
		Subsequently, much of the intelligence used to justify the war was criticized as faulty by U.S. and British investigative bodies, and the U.S.-led occupation forces struggled into 2005 with Islamic insurgencies that military and civilian planners had failed to foresee.

	2003 Invasion of Iraq - dKosopedia
		Gulf War II or the second Gulf War refers to the war ensuing from the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.
		In the second Gulf War, American President George W. Bush invaded Iraq in order to depose its dictator, Saddam Hussein, who Bush and Co. alleged to possess weapons of mass destruction and was capable of hitting us with his imaginary nukes in 45 minutes.
		After a relatively easy invasion, the American forces are bogged down in a markedly under-planned post-war occupation, with little reassuance coming from Bush-administration predictions of relief via quick Iraqization.

	The First Gulf War and the Army's Future (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Iraqi invasion of Iran in 1980 at the start of the First Gulf War replicates in size the United States Army commitment currently judged necessary to decisively win a limited conventional war.
		During the Second Gulf War (Desert Storm), the Army carried out the prototype MTW with the (vital) support of the Marine Corps, the Navy, and the Air Force.
		Although the decisiveness and low American casualties make this war ideal for the prototype, reductions in the size of the Army since 1991 make it impossible to commit this size of a force to another war.

		That would have kept the focus on the causes of not just the first Gulf War but on a series of short energy wars that could have followed it.
		Many were saying that, whether there is a war or whether we succeed in stopping it, there is a need to keep the pressure up against the junta's imperial, anti-democratic plans.
		However, it would do much to increase opposition to the war and to the junta itself if we can connect fossil fuels with pollution and war on the one hand and solar/wind power with a clean evironment and peace on the other.

	DESERT STORM: THE FIRST INFORMATION WAR?
		The only indication of success against the Scuds was the gradual reduction in the number of missiles fired, although a resurgence in firings during the last week of the war tended to cloud this assessment.
		This was especially true after the opening of the air war, when the coalition expanded its collection efforts while quickly altering force deployments and carefully denying useful information to Iraq.
		Of particular relevance to the Gulf War, it can be stored, protected, and concealed or suppressed, sometimes even from one's own decision makers.

		I dwelled a bit on one of John Kerry's many yet-to-be-exploited-but-blindingly-obvious vulnerabilities: his vote on the 1991 Gulf war.
		I noted in that post that the vote could be potentially devastating to Kerry, not so much because it portrays him as soft on national security, but because it makes him look like he takes whichever side of whatever issue happens to be most politically advantageous.
		Rather than take a side--albeit the one he thought was most expedient--Kerry actually stood on both sides of the first Gulf war, much like he did this time around.

		Published in 1972, this was the first printed account of the USA's massive engagement in a "secret" war in Laos.
		Covering World War 2, Korea, Vietnam, and the first Gulf War (with major emphasis on Vietnam), it is clear to see that this book is exceptionally well researched and compiled.
		Among some of the superb material is major statistics of the Vietnam war, a huge list of unaccounted for U.S. servicemen with supporting intelligence information, and a timeline overview through the years that shows exactly what has been accomplished by the United States, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos concerning the continuing POW/MIA issue.
