Mr. Bruns told us about our assigned blog number 6, due Sunday night, about European countries. I chose Andorra as my country. We then continued blog discussions, from a month or so ago.
9-11 happened 8 months into Bush's first term. More troops died in the first quarter of Obama's first term then all of when Bush was President. Women were not allowed to go to school in Afghanistan until the War on Terror. We helped build there infrastructure and turned them into a democracy. We are afraid to leave because we believe that once we do the Taliban and AL-Qaeda will come back.
Iraq: Operation Dessert Shield (8-90) and Operation Desert Storm (1-91). The war began over oil disputes. George H. W. Bush said Our nation now imports nearly half the oil that we use, and we need to take action to protect it. Operation Desert Shield sent troops to Saudi Arabia to protect them from being invaded. Operation Desert Storm said that we will attach if you don't leave. We invaded in February, 1991, to free Kuwait. We never actually invaded Iraq, all of this was to protect Kuwait. There where a total of 32 countries involved in this. We used to help Saddam Hussein. He was hung for gassing his on people in the North, the Kurdish people. From 1991-2003, Iraq had to abide by two things: 1. Weapons inspectors; and 2. No fly zone. He would kick the weapons inspectors often, then allow them back in to make it seem like they had nuclear weapons they were trying to hide. The no fly zone involved us flying over Iraq every day to ensure that the people were protected and that Iraq had no military there.
