Which of the following occurred after coalition troops entered Kuwait? A. UN passes a resolution demanding Iraqi troops leave Kuwait. B. Saddam Hussein remains in power. C. Iraqi forces are bombed during Operation Desert Storm. D. Iraqi troops enter Kuwait to secure oil.

OpenStudy (nurali):

I'll go with (B) Saddam Hussein remains in power. In the first Desert Storm, the coalition entered Kuwait and liberated the country before invading Iraq to drive back Hussein's shattered army and end the war. He surrendered, but wasn't removed from the government. It's true that Iraqi forces were bombed during Operation Desert Storm, but even after his defeat and forced surrender, Hussein was still Iraq's strongman.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Iraq’s ruthless dictator, had run the Middle Eastern nation with an iron fist since 1979. By invading Kuwait, Hus- sein sought to take over Kuwait’s rich oil deposits. With Kuwait in his power, Hussein would control nearly 20 percent of the oil produced around the world. The United States feared how Hussein would use the influence that controlling such a large amount of oil would give him. In addition, nearby Saudi Arabia pos- sessed even more massive oil reserves. The United States did not want Hussein to seek to gain control of those reserves next. President Bush made it clear that he would not tolerate Iraq’s aggression against its neighbor. He worked to build an international coalition and backed a UN resolution demanding that Iraqi troops withdraw. (isn't this saying D) ? (it was in my textbook)
