Really tough to win as Iraq, may be impossible. Give it a try though.
Can you stop US imperialism?

Ha, finally!
Iraqi Major Victory!!
A negotiated settlement has been reached. In exchange for an Iraqi withdrawal from Bahrain and their positions in Saudi Arabia, Saddam receives Kuwait and minor territorial accessions from Saudi Arabia. Though further fighting has been averted, the West has suffered a terrible political defeat.

Are you kidding? I won a major Iraqi victory outright, first time through. The choices presented are fairly obvious.

MAJOR IRAQI VICTORY

The Coalition counteroffensive has ground to a halt in Saudia Arabia with very heavy casualties. The American people are outraged at the result and the entire world is shocked by the military victory over Coalition forces. Unless the war is renewed at a later time, the Coalition must negotiate a humiliating peace or commit massive forces for the continued defense of the region.

Yeesh, it probably took me a dozen tries to get a major victory.

Of course, in this game, the coalition forces aren't allowed to bring ammo.

The Iraqis on the offensive in the open against US forces wouldn't be funny, it would be nothing short of a slaughter they brought on themselves.

Unit for unit, the US has 5-10 times the effective firepower of the Iraqis, and there's no way they could concentrate for an effective force-space ratio without getting massacred from the air before they ever got in place.

MAJOR COALITION VICTORY

Saddam has been captured near Baghdad and will be tried by international courts. The new Iraqi leader is favorable to the US. Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudia Arabia have been liberated though much of their infrastructure is in ruins. Coalition forces suffered light casualties during the conflict while decisively defeating the Iraqi army.

Keep getting minor victories. It seems like the same things happen regardless of my choices.

DRAW

Saddam attempts to go into exile in Jordan but it soon shot by gunmen in Amman. The new Iraqi leader, though not the first choice of the U.S., is acceptable. Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia have been liberated though much of their infrastructure is in ruins. On the other hand, the destruction and contamination of Ghawar has plunged the world into economic chaos, causing the military victory to ring hollow. On the positive side, Coalition control of the Iraqi oil facilities will help in a small way to offset the loss of Ghawar.
