If you are referencing the Kuwait invasion by Iraq, I think it was ultimately proven that this was a made up atrocity to get us to fight there. Gulf War 1 was still a necessary fight, I’m not so sure about the second one while we were busy in Afghanistan. My Special Forces son has fought both in GW1, and Afghanistan.
The Iraqi invasion was not made up(!), tho’ most of the alleged at the time atrocities against Kuwaitis seem to have been.
That war was about oil, and Bush 1’s reluctance or inability to discuss the situation honestly with “the people”, so his admin brought up other “issues” instead, to buttress the argument.
Gulf War II was not quite so much about oil (although that was still a large factor), but again it was not discussed honestly in some very significant respects.
