The Iraqi War began March 20, 2003. U.S, U.K coalition forces invaded Iraq along with smaller forces from other supporting countries. The "main" reason on why the invasion occurred was, Iraq was developing and posessing weapons of mass destruction that would seriously threaten the world. Also that it supported terrorist, and kept them under the radar in the country. U.N inspectors was invited to Iraq by Saddam Hussein to investigate if it was producing WMD. Inspectors found nothing to influence the war.
Bush's intelligence stated satellites found pictures military possessions underground. After the invasion Bush swore there was something suspicous. After hours of bombing, Baghdad fell into U.S control. Months of searching there was nothing of evidence or existence of any weapons. Saddam Hussien was on the run and troops were looking to find him. On Saturday December 13, Saddam was captured in the cellar of a farmhouse in the town of Adwar. After his capture he was put on trial for his past actions to the Iraqi nation. Under a new Iraqi government who were given power by the U.S, they were going to execute Saddam.
Saddam was executed in December 2006, after his execution U.S forces were still in the country. President Bush was criticized because the war started because to stop a "evil empire". First they didnt find any weapons, then they changed the title to "Iraqi Freedom". Even with that why? are we still in Iraq when, there was no weapons found, and the Saddam reign is over.
Is it to spread democracy around the world but under our shoulders like imperialist? Is it for Iraq's oil in which they are so rich in? Are we being living lies told by our government??
