Bush's administration, 9/11, the 2003 Gulf War and 2005 elections in Iraq --Conclusion."The US-led coalition which launched an invasion of Iraq on 20 March 2003 led to a decade-long military presence in the country. In the run-up to that invasion, many comparisons were made with the 1991 Gulf War. Ahmed Ijaz Malik takes these two instances of military intervention by Republican US governments to highlight how the official discourse of leaders and decision-makers has an impact on foreign policy and its results. By taking these two examples, he examines how discourse affects real events, and the extent to which the legacy of the Cold War has influenced the decisions which are made at the upper echelons of the US government.--Provided by publsier."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Library of international relations (Series) ;69.United States foreign policy and the Gulf WarsIraq War, 2003-2011Persian Gulf War, 1991Conservatism & right-of-centre democratic ideologiesBICMiddle EastForeign relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign relationsMiddle EastIraq War, 2003-2011.Persian Gulf War, 1991.Conservatism & right-of-centre democratic ideologies.327.73056Malik Ahmed Ijaz1516296UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910787364703321US foreign policy and the Gulf Wars3752686UNINA
