Description: FRONTLINE's "The Gulf War" is a comprehensive and critical analysis of the 1990-1991 war in which more than one million troops faced off against each other in the deserts of the Gulf states. From the Allied coalition's air war, to the ground assault, to the liberation of Kuwait, and the fallout of Saddam Hussein's retaining power, "The Gulf War" deconstructs what really happened, how it happened and why. This program (first broadcast/published on January 9, 1996 on the five-year anniversary of the Gulf War) draws on in-depth, remarkably candid interviews with those who planned Operation Desert Storm and those who fought its battles. These include key decision makers such as Colin Powell, Norman Schwarzkopf, former Secretary of State James Baker, former Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney, Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail Gorbachev. It also includes vivid commentary by U.S and British commanders on the ground and, interviews with Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz and a top Iraqi intelligence official. "The Gulf War" chronicles how the war began with miscalculations in Washington and Baghdad, and was fought with mistakes, disgreements and infighting among both the decisionmakers in Washington and American generals in the field. In addition to first-hand accounts of top-level participants, this special report presents the harrowing war stories of U.S. and British pilots who became POWS; examines the unprecedented technology and weaponry used in the war; and offers detailed analysis by two experts on the war, Rick Atkinson and Bernard Trainor. This web site also offers a chronology, maps and a special BBC RADIO series on the war. The seven-month long Persian Gulf crisis may seem now a distant memory. However, this unique recapitulation of the war - through the eyes and in the words of major political and military participants - offers an authoritative, fresh look at some of the major assumptions and events, ranging from the performance of certain weapons, to the inconclusive victory, to the ghost of Vietnam which continuously shrouded the US military's decision making. Channel Note: ****The next anti-American sentiment/comment along with the usual death threats, citing " Inshaallah" and ANYTHING blah, blah, blah regarding ANYTHING to do with religion (ie; references to "god willing", etc) will be deleted, get kicked off, reported, banned, tracked, etc. **MODERATED**

I know killing civilians is wrong, but we have got to stop changing our battle plan cause one building with civilians was bomb by mistake the way I look at it war is hell and civilians will get killed it's not our fault we didn't ask for the war and incidence civilians in Kuwait was killed too by Iraq the civilians of Iraq should had rebelled against saddam when he was doing all the crazy stuff he was doing they support him so they should know the consequences of that if we would fight a war to win it and not spend billions of dollars and risk American lives so we won't hurt Iraqis lives we would be better off

Bush Sr learn from Ragan to not take no shit

9/11 was a Mossad operation.

The Kurds were lulled into fighting by Bush Sr and then betrayed by him. Despicable

BTW, CNN's coverage of the Gulf War was also their finest moment as a news entitiy. They've never paralleled it since, and, in fact, are a joke now (Russian Hacking? Really? You're really backing this story? See, that's why CNN no longer has any credibility. Running fake news with minionized "reporters" doing nothing but creating false stories to fit concocted narratives). Peter Arnett was CNN's finest reporter.

A good documentary, but it is laced with typical liberal handwringing. This was one of America's few operations done right--right down to the deceptions of the U.S. media. This is how WWII was won--complete with the Office of War Information which was run by the democrat-run administration under FDR. How the media undermined and ultimately lost the U.S. effort in Vietnam should have been the lesson learned in that conflict. The U.S. media does not understand or care to understand that wars are not won by undermining public, and hence, political will. Every other country knows that and plays by those rules. Our media, on the other hand, is too full of its own hypocritical self-righteousness to understand its proper role in national conflict. The Gulf War was a very unique, if not outright blessed operation which had the right people in the right place at the right time doing the right things to successfully achieve limited objectives to limited ends. Kudos to Generals Schwarzkopf and Powell. It was their finest moment. It's only shortcoming was not taking out Saddam Hussein then and there leaving another war to fight, and because of 0bozo's incompetence, lose.
