The United States invaded Iraq in 1991 and 2003. What was different about these invasions? (5 points) In 1991 the goal was to end the takeover of Kuwait, while in 2003 it was to actually remove Hussein from power. The first invasion was a response to human rights and the other to find weapons of mass destruction. In 1991 the goal was to prevent ethnic cleansing, and in 2003 it was to find Osama bin Laden. The first invasion was unsuccessful, but the second destroyed support for terror there.

mathav-raj is pretty much right about the 2003 invasion. The first Desert Storm was to liberate Kuwait even though some people wanted Bush Sr. to keep going and push towards Baghdad and take out Hussein. In 2003, the threat of potential WMDs helped sparked the second invasion and ended up taking down Hussein for good.
