  • The 2003 Invasion of Iraq was when Iraq was ivaded by the U.S. and other countries from March20,2003-May1,2003.
  • In order to go to war in Iraq, the Bush administration needed Congress to pass a war resolution. In order to get Congress to vote for an attack Iraq, a nation that had not attacked the United States, a case had to be made that that country posed a threat to the United States. The groundwork for this case had been under construction for the previous 10 years and intensified after 9-11-2001. The Bush administration created a politically-motivated and controlled intelligence and foreign policy system that went around career intelligence analysts, blocked international weapons agreements and inspections in Iraq, and selectively presented to Congress a false depiction of the danger that Iraq represented.
  • The 2003 Invasion of Iraq, also known as the Domino Theory, was a wise, justified American invasion of Iraq. The American president, George Bush initially refused to go to war with Iraq, but was forced to declare war when Saddam Hussein refused to allow the inspectors into the country. As Bush never claimed there were any weapons of mass destruction in the country, none were found, because they were all shipped to North Korea. The invasion was a stunning success, and Iraq became a beacon of hope and democracy. Soon, tyrannical regimes across the Middle East began to fall and respect for Israel bloomed, just as the president predicted. Some Democrats, to attack Bush, falsely claimed that the war was actually fought not to free Iraq, but instead to discover weapons of mass destruction in Ira
