And how many years after that did the war continue to drag on?

So we won? It was worth the lives of those 4,400 American military? And the $2 Trillion bucks we spent? What exactly did we get for our "investment". And why do we think we will be successful in Iran. A country 3 times the size of Iraq?

Actually 294 American casualties in Operation Desert Storm.

• Operation Desert Storm began on January 17, 1991.
• The primary combat phase lasted 42 days.
• It officially ended on February 28, 1991.

8 years times 365 = 2,920 days. Plus 2 more for leap years so 2,922.

You know why a really good tennis player won't play against a beginner?

That's why I won't be responding to any more of your comments.

Apparently, most Iranian oil exports go to China..

Here is an interesting comment on the war going on in Iran

I asked an AI how much of Iran’s oil was sold to China before the recent war.

Other source claim 90% of Iran’s oil sales are to China because of embargoes and restrictions.

Another Fun Fact: China buys 55% of Venezuela’s oil exports.

Is there a pattern here?

Media coverage of wars are very inconsistent....
For example....On the question were did most of American casualties occur during Iraq War?
Most of the American casualties during the Iraq War occurred in Baghdad, where approximately 28 soldiers were killed in hostile acts alone.
This is wrong....
On the question...How many American casualties occurred in Iraq War?
200,000 service men and women were killed during Iraq War.
This is wrong....
The media plays a game of exaggeration....one direction or another.

Keep in mind that you cannot have more causalities than the number physically present during the war. LOL I was in the Navy during the Iraq war. Most of the conflicts that America gets involved with are air campaigns. In Iraq we had troop and tanks from several countries. We used a lot of National Guard units. Several countries had troops in Iraq but I think the total of all countries was around 100,000 troops.....not millions.

Of course there is a difference between the Iraq-Kuwait war and Operation Desert Storm. The total Iraq conflict was about 8 years but I still disagree with the media estimates, and there is more than one. The Department of Defense reports 4,432 American military casualties for the whole Iraq-Kwait conflict. So Trade's estimate was more correct.
