Reverted to latest non-copyvio version

The text of an article from globalsecurity.org had been copied into this article, which is not permitted either under copyright law or under Wikipedia rules. I've reverted to the last non-copyvio version, which is a stub. --Alvestrand 06:59, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rename

This article should be named "Operation Desert Strike" because that is like the real name (official name) of the event, rather than some phrase.--$1LENCE D00600D (talk) 04:28, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cradle of Conflict: Iraq and the Birth of the Modern US Military

Future editors,

in case you want to add detail to this entry, there is a very comprehensive interview-led account given by multiple Desert Strike planners in my book, Cradle of Conflict: Iraq and the Birth of the Modern US Military, which is on Google books (there went my royalties...)

The account is fully-footnoted, so important secondary sources are given also, including one particular Master's thesis by a US military guy that proved very useful as it contained some original interview material with planners.

Cheers
