The IRAQ WAR The Facts

What It Looked Like…

IRAQ- Operation Iraqi Freedom WHO: The United States vs. Iraq LEADERS: Presidents George W. Bush & Barack Obama vs. Saddam Hussein

TIME PERIOD: 2003 to 2011 LOCATION: Iraq CAUSES: Saddam Hussein had WMDs or Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq…never found and to bring democracy to the Iraqi people

CONTROVERSIES??? Some say it is over oil Some say it is Bush (Son) getting back for his father not killing Saddam during the Persian Gulf War of the 1990s

Remember….. After Persian Gulf War, UN told Iraq and Hussein to destroy WMDs Several times the UN tried to visit Iraq to check on this, but Hussein wouldn’t allow it After 9/11, Pres. Bush pushed UN to be more forceful This goes back and forth until late 2002

Final Warnings… In early 2003, Pres. Bush and the UN finally get a resolution to allow UN officials to check Iraq for WMDs – this was withdrawn because France and Germany didn’t like it On March 17, 2003, Bush gives Hussein an ultimatum – leave Iraq in 48 hours or face military action Within days, USA gets information that Hussein and his top officials are hiding underground George W. Bush’s Speech (Stop at 6:20) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr7OKqqTb_o

War Begins… On March 20, 2003 at 2:30am in Iraq, USA sends 3 dozen Tomahawk missiles with 1000lb warheads into Baghdad (Iraq’s capital) Within hours more targets are hit and the war, code named – Operation Iraqi Freedom, has started Taking over Baghdad took roughly 21 days It was celebrated around the world when Hussein’s statue was torn down by his own people http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvaU3ZiBmGw&feature=related (2:23 BBC Live at First Attack)
