Which of these did not take place during the conflict?
a. economic penalties against iraq
b. an environmental disaster
c. thousands of us deaths
d. liberation of kuwait

The correct answer is C) thousands of U.S. deaths.

The statement that was not true about the conflict against Iraq is "thousands of U.S. deaths."

In August 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait. Iraq wanted total control supply of oil in the Middle East. The United States reaction was to allie with other 34  nations of the world and bombarded Iraq during the months of January and February 1991. The allied forces basically won the Gulf War with these air raids over strategic places in Iraq. Then, with Operation "Desert Storm", in only four days, the United States Army controlled the situation on the ground.  But the statement that was not true about the conflict against Iraq is that thousands of U.S. deaths occurred during the conflict.
