| Sumario: | It took the coalition armies arrayed against Iraq only 6 weeks to liberate Kuwait in the Persian Gulf War. With the remainder of ̣Sadd̄am Hussein's army in retreat from Kuwait and southern Iraq, George Bush declared a suspension of fighting. The truce was dependent on Iraq's unconditional acceptance of all 12 UN Security Council resolutions and the release of all allied prisoners of war and any Kuwaitis who had been kidnapped. As a result of the complete defeat of his military, Hussein is expected to agree to all the conditions. |
