Phase one had three goals gain air superiority, destroy saddams stroo teategic capabil, namely scuds, and disrupt his command and control. The allies estimated the first phase would last 20 to 25 days. Phase two would be short. The allies planned on taking one day to suppress mobile air defenses in the kto or kuwaiti theatre of operations. During phase three, allied air power would continue to hit the targets of phase one, but they would shift their attack to the iraqi field army and the kto, totaling close to half a million men, over 4,000 tanks, and 3,000 artillery pieces. One of the Main Missions was preparing the battlefield. He called it shaping the battlefield. He had to defeat those elements of his Ground Forces capable of mass casualties, artillery, armor. An important part was the Republican Guard. Saddam was depending on them to drive back the coalition Ground Forces if they attacked his dugin army.

Washington journal begins live at 7 00 a. M. Eastern tuesday morning. On september 14, 1986, president and mrs. Reagan made a rare joint address from the white house residence carried live on national television. Their message was on drug abuse. First lady nancy reagan, who died on march 6 at the age of 94, urged young people to just say no to drugs, an antidrug abuse strategy she had been promoting since 1982. Good evening.

Within days, five u. S. Air force squadrons and two u. S. Carriers arrived in the gulf. The commander recalls the deployment. Initially we had to get people over here rapt rapidly because of the threat of an iraqi invasion. So we brought over those kinds of airplanes you need to depend and deter such air defense, aircraft awacs, f16s and a10s through ground attack missions. And also the f15 e for capability at night. In just five weeks, the Coalition Air force outnumbered the Iraqi Air Force. When it became apparent we were successful in that initial effort, we then fleshed the force out with more aircraft, primarily aircraft such as b52s, more a10s, more f16s. The coalition organized its air power for wartime with general horner as the single air commander or air boss. We created four air divisions. One handled the tankers and bomber aircraft. The second one handled the fighters and attack aircraft. Glen profitt, warfare and another for air lift operations. We were able to define each
Iraq and syria, and resolve to fight the situation. More than 15,000 foreign fighters from 80 nations have traveled to syria in recent years. Many have joined terrorist organizations such as alqaedas affiliate, al nusra front, and isil, which threatens people across syria and iraq. Mike viqueira with me, and he has been following the president s entire day. Its been a busy one. This resolution requiring countries to take firm action to address the threat of foreign fighters the world over. Fairly extraordinary.

And the king of jordan, they have a Lar
