ABC News takes a step back for an in-depth look at the events leading up to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Peter Jennings reports on the long-standing relationship of Saddam Hussein's Iraq with the United States and other Western nations, and the impact of their support of Iraq's military build-up during the past decade.

Peter Jennings is joined by Chief Foreign Correspondent Pierre Salinger, Chief National Security Correspondent John McWethy, and London based correspondent John Laurence to discuss the volatile situation.

Documenting the beginning of the Gulf War, this program details what American military forces encountered in battle and what many people view as the underlying cause of the six-week-long war: oil.
