	Gulf War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to "Gulf War Air Power Survey" by Thomas A. Keaney and Eliot A. Cohen, (a report commissioned by the U.S. Air Force; 1993-ISBN 0-16-041950-6), there were an estimated 10-12,000 Iraqi combat deaths in the air campaign and as many as 10,000 casualties in the ground war.
		The Gulf War was a heavily televised war.
		A crucial result of the Gulf War, according to Gilles Kepel, was the sharp revival in Islamic extremism.

	Iraq War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After the 1991 Gulf War, UN Resolutions were passed to impose sanctions on the regime of Saddam Hussein until it was verified that their Weapons of Mass Destruction were destroyed.
		The first calls for war on Iraq came from the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), and the American Enterprise Institute, with arguments based largely on the alleged threat that Saddam posed to American interests in the region, and the project of American influence into the next century.
		According to opinion polls, the war was unpopular from the outset, and in nearly all Coalition countries it was widely viewed as counterproductive, improper, or even illegal; only since summer 2005 has this been the majority case in the United States.

	AlterNet: War on Iraq: Gulf War Syndrome II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Soldiers now fighting in Iraq are being exposed to battlefield hazards that have been associated with the 'Gulf War Syndrome' that afflicts a quarter-million veterans of the 1991 war, said a former Central Command Army officer in Operation Desert Storm.
		Efforts to contact Pentagon officials for comment at the Office of the Special Assistant for Gulf War Illnesses and officials at the Veterans Administration who deal with DU-related illness were not returned.
		What Rokke and other outspoken Desert Storm veterans fear is today's troops are being exposed to many of the same battlefield conditions that they believe are responsible for 'Gulf War Syndrome.' These illnesses have left 221,000 veterans on medical disability and another 51,000 seeking that status from the Veterans Administration as of May 2002.

		One lingering image from the 1991 Persian Gulf war was of terrified Iraqi soldiers waving their arms in surrender to an unmanned Navy reconnaissance drone as it skimmed overhead, videotaping the desert terrain.
		They include the Predator, the Air Force's multipurpose unmanned aerial vehicle; the Navy's long-range Tomahawk cruise missile used in the Gulf war and against al Qaeda in Afghanistan; and new or upgraded missiles that can be guided from air to target from as far as 15 miles away.
		Estimates of Iraqi losses have been repeatedly scaled back since the war, reflecting the fact that thousands of Saddam's front-line soldiers fled or surrendered and were sent home, and "many were never there in the first place," Mr.

		In Gulf War I, coalition fighter-bombers were also frequently forced to choose between staying above 10,000 feet to avoid antiaircraft fire -- at which altitudes an unguided bomb dropped on a tank would typically miss by 200 feet -- or go in low and risk getting shot down.
		Now, in Gulf War II, real-time radar and targeting systems like the JSTARS radar plane, combined with satellite-guided bombs that can be carried by almost all Navy and Air Force fighters and bombers, have greatly increased the ability to destroy even small, hard targets from a safe altitude.
		Significantly, in Gulf War I, U.S. tank crews ended up firing only 2 percent of the massive stocks of tank ammunition that had been moved into the theater in anticipation of intense ground fighting.

	Gulf War II: The Possibilities
		In fact, a secret "war before the war" is currently taking place, with the goal of either toppling Hussein's regime without a full-blown attack or just paving the way for a full-blown attack.
		In the first Gulf War, only two of the eight divisions of the elite Iraqi Republican Guard were ever in Kuwait, and they pulled back before the war began in mid-January.
		This is a very interesting article which examines the aims of a new Gulf War in light of the history of the Middle East, and compares the planned US-led regime change in Iraq to the regime change carried out there by the British in the 30's.

	Considering Motives for Gulf War II
		PR firms were hired to promote the war -- described in detail in John MacArthur's book, "Second Front." For example, the fall of the real Kuwait, a dictatorship which was probably stealing Iraqi oil, was not likely to create a great deal of sympathy here.
		The war's primary objective may be to capture Iraqi oil fields and hand them over to US corporations.
		And the war could have a Wag-the-Dog component, as plausibly as Clinton's attacks on Iraq and Sudan during the Lewinsky affair.

		Many U.S. and British soldiers blame Gulf War syndrome on drugs they were given to counter possible Iraqi chemical weapon attacks during the 1991 conflict.
		With thousands of US veterans suffering from Gulf War Syndrome, it came as no surprise to learn in October that several hundred British veterans were suffering in the same way, with three to five cases being reported every week.
		Gulf War Syndrome is probably just liberal propaganda, just like the allegations Agent Orange caused problems for Vietnam and our troops who were exposed to it.

	"Allied" Deaths - Gulf War II
		There was also much armchair speculation before (and during) Gulf War II about the level of combat fatalities that we would suffer.
		However, it would be a mistake to apply the overall mortality rate to the number of military members involved in the war, because the overall rate includes the large number of older people who expire each year.
		Except, of course, for the 170 dead US/UK guys, Gulf War II seems to have been one of the safest (at least for the US and UK military) in modern history.

		Certainly the Germans who have had American soldiers stationed on their soil for over 50 years, who daily live with "monuments" to that horrid time, and who have listened to the world condemn an earlier generation of Germans do not need to be reminded of the dangers of appeasement.
		At the same time, Europeans, Asians, and other peoples whose lands have suffered the ravages of war know the costs of war: the cost in terms of human suffering and shattered lives, the cost in the destruction of families and communities, and the cost in terms of the devastation of industry and the public infrastructure.
		During Gulf War I, the US used about 300 tons of depleted uranium weapons, almost all of which is lying around waiting for someone to clean it up.

	How Gulf War II Differs from Gulf War I: Newsroom: The Independent Institute
		Key assumptions underlying the military strategy being applied in the Gulf War this time differ considerably from those used in Gulf War I. And this makes the new strategy a risky one.
		In this war, U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is trying to “do more with less” — meaning that U.S. forces have only one heavy division on the ground and that one is using prepositioned equipment.
		But, that said, it is a risky strategy and does not reflect the traditional American way of war since Ulysses S. Grant’s tactics in the civil war, that is, using overwhelming force.
