Secret/Noforn, 1 p. On December 2, 1990, six weeks before the United States and its allies initiated Operation Desert Storm, Iraq test launched three Scud missiles from sites in eastern Iraq, which impacted in western Iraq.
Rather than seeing Operation Desert Storm as the beginning of a conflict that began in January 1991 and ended in March 1991, we can view it as the beginning of the US' use of air power to try to shape Iraq, which has continued for 25 years, with no end in sight.
