The invasion of Kuwait by Iraq was the fastest take-over of a nation in the history of war.

Iraq invaded Kuwait claiming rebels welcomed them and over-threw the kuwait government.

Kuwait once was a part of Iraq.

Modified T-62's mounted with Mig jets were used to put out some fires.

Some massive 8000 psi + oil well fires were put out by drilling into the artery of that well, making more guisers of oil and then setting those on fire to releave pressure.

One reason for lighting the oil fires was so Iraq could prevent more US marines from landing, along with other military equpiment and personal.

The Kuwait oil disaster caused hundreds of small lakes of oil to form.

nope, just has to do with gill structure... some sharks have an anterior "hole" where a gill should be... these sharks don't have so swim all the time, the others do. though perhaps most (or all) pelagic sharks don't have this hole but i'm sure there's some non-pelagic sharks don't have this hole either.... hmm off to go look it up.
