Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1990's United States got involved in the Iraq- Kuwait dispute. The reason for its involvement was that the US viewed Iraq as a regional threat to its allies in the middle east. Iraq's presence in Kuwait gave it a strategic position to harm Saudi Arabian oil fields with short-range missiles, that is why the Saudi Arabian leader King Fahd requested for intervention. George bush replied with operation Desert Shield.
