	"Lucky War": third army in Desert Storm
		The military actions of August 1990 to January 1991 (Operation Desert Shield) and those of January and February 1991 (Operation Desert Storm) were only a part of the strategic response by the United States, Saudi Arabia, and their coalition allies to the Iraqi aggression.
		Both operated on reduced establishment, which meant that both were confronted with the need to create expanded headquarters at the same time major forces were being deployed to the theater of operations under their command.
		The first phase of Operation Desert Shield, which lasted from 7 August 1990 until 8 November, consisted of the deployment of a joint military force to defend American and allied interests against Iraqi aggression, a force of sufficient strength adequate to enforce UN sanctions while defending the Arabian base (see figure 3).

		Yet, a closer look at the history of the Iraqi terrorist threat against the U.S. and the coalition countries during the 1991 Gulf War shows that the international infrastructure and the operational capabilities at the disposal of the Iraqi regime are not significant.
		According to the same report, “although many of the Palestinian groups threatened to conduct terrorist operations against the international coalition opposing Baghdad's invasion of Kuwait, few such attacks actually occurred.” Most incidents recorded during the Persian Gulf war were bombing attacks against commercial property belonging to coalition countries’ firms, mostly outside the Middle East region.
		While the Persian Gulf war clearly was a factor in the large number of attacks in early 1991, 116 international incidents occurred after the end of Operation Desert Storm.
