    Extractions: Previewing the Iraqi offensive. inston Churchill once remarked that he preferred the old days when Iran and Iraq were known as Persia and Mesopotamia because then he could remember which was which. When it comes to examining the impact of physical geography on the approaching war, the old name tells us more than the current one. Mesopotamia is Greek for the region "between the rivers" — the Tigris and Euphrates. While the western half of Iraq is desert, the hydro-geography created by these two rivers will have a great impact on the ground component of a war with Iraq. Both rivers essentially flow through Iraq from northwest to southwest. The Euphrates, the southernmost of the two, originates in Syria, and crosses into Iraq at al Saybah. It passes about 20 miles southwest of Baghdad and then flows into the Shatt al Arab, which then empties into the upper Persian Gulf.

    Extractions: With the war going on in Iraq much attention is focused on this little country, its lands and its people. To understand something about the geography and geology of the country is to better understand what troops are up against, and indeed what the people of Iraq themselves are sometimes against. There are four main regions to the geography of Iraq. There is the desert in the west and southwest, the rolling upland between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, highlands in the north and northeast and the alluvial plain through which the Tigris and Euphrates rivers flow. Total land area is about 438,446 square kilometers. The desert region west and southwest of the Euphrates is part of the Syrian desert which runs west into Syria and south into Saudi Arabia. Here and there on this sparse wasteland is a pattern of waterways, dry all year except for the brief floods during the winter rains. Few people live on this desert except for some pastoral nomads. The uplands region running between an area north of the Tigris and Euphrates is called Al Jazirah, the Island. It is actually part of a larger area which extends westward into Syria and Turkey. Although there is more water in this area, running in deep cut valleys, it is still dry enough to be considered a desert. Iraq's northeastern area is highlands which extend to the Turkey and Iranian borders. The area begins as broad steppes and blends into mountains ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 meters. Except for a few valleys, the only useable area is some of the foothills and steppes used for grazing. Soil and rainfall conditions make some agriculture possible. This area is also home to oilfields and the Kurds.

    Extractions: Iraq, a nearly landlocked country more than twice as large as Utah, is remote from the United States. Repeated aerial refueling is required for nonstop flights by tactical combat aircraft and military transports, even when overflights rights allow the shortest routes. Maintenance problems will deplete the airlift fleet after repeated round trips to reinforce and resupply U.S. deployments.

    Extractions: Geography I raq is situated in Southwest Asia and is bounded on the east by Iran on the south by Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf, on the west by Jordan and Syria and on the north by Turkey. Iraq has four distinct geographic regions. The north-eastern, mountainous region is known as al-Jazira, rising to nearly 2135m (7000 feet) near the Turkish border. Iraq's two highest points are Haji Ibrahim, which rises to 3600m (11,811 feet) and Mount Halgurd (3,728m; 12,230 feet). The land area between the Tigris and the Euphrates is an alluvial plain and is Iraq's most fertile region. In the south-east, adjacent to the Persian Gulf, is a low-lying swampy area, containing marshes, lakes and reedy waterways. To the west of the Euphrates is the desert region, where the land gradually rises to join the Syrian Desert. This desert area constitutes about 35% of Iraq's total land area. Iraq's two main rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates, flow from north-west to south-east. They converge near Baghdad, then diverge and meet once again about 160km (100 miles) north of the Persian Gulf, to form the Shatt al-Arab River. This river flows through Basra and drains into the Gulf. Richly alluvial soil characterises the Tigris-Euphrates basin; elsewhere, soils are very light and not especially fertile. Iraq's mainly continental climate brings a wide range of temperature, with hot summers, particularly in the south, and cold winters, especially on the higher ground.

    Extractions: Iraq Introduction Top of Page Background: Formerly part of the Ottoman Empire, Iraq became an independent kingdom in 1932. A "republic" was proclaimed in 1958. Territorial disputes with Iran led to an inconclusive and costly eight-year war (1980-1988). In August 1990 Iraq seized Kuwait, but was expelled by US-led, UN coalition forces during January-February 1991. The victors did not occupy Iraq, however, thus allowing the regime to stay in control. Following Kuwait's liberation, the UN Security Council (UNSC) required Iraq to scrap all weapons of mass destruction and long-range missiles and to allow UN verification inspections. UN trade sanctions remain in effect due to incomplete Iraqi compliance with relevant UNSC resolutions.
