Iraq War The Iraq War is an ongoing conflict which began on March 20, 2003 with the United States-led invasion of Iraq by a multinational coalition composed of U.S. and U.K. troops supported by smaller contingents from Australia, Poland, and other nations. The main rationale for the invasion offered by U.S. President George W. Bush and coalition supporters was the allegation that Iraq possessed and was actively developing weapons of mass destruction in violation of a 1991 agreement. U.S. officials argued that Iraq posed an imminent, urgent, and immediate threat to the United States, its people, allies, and interests. Some U.S. officials claimed Saddam Hussein and al- Qaeda had been cooperating, but no evidence of any collaborative relationship has been found. Other reasons for the invasion stated by officials included concerns over Iraq's financial support for the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, Iraqi government human rights abuses, spreading democracy, and Iraq's oil reserves.

The RCC The first act of the new regime was to establish the RCC (Revolutionary Command Council) which assumed supreme authority. The RCC elected al-Bakr president of the republic, and he invited al-Nayif to form a cabinet. Al-Bakr was not interested in administrative details, and, as he grew older and his health deteriorated, he began to depend more heavily on Saddam to carry out the business of government.

Saddam Takes Over On July 16, 1979 On The Eve Of The Anniversary Of of the revolution of 1968 officially announced his resignation. He was immediately succeeded by Saddam Hussein. On July 28 it was announced that a plot to overthrow the government had been uncovered. This announcement had been preceded, on July 12, by the arrest of Muhyi 'Abd al-Hussein al-Mashhadi, the secretary of the RCC.

This announcement had been preceded, on July 12, by the arrest of Muhyi 'Abd al-Hussein al-Mashhadi, the secretary of the RCC. Mashhadi made a public confession, stating that he and other Bath leaders, including four other members of the RCC, had conspired to overthrow the regime. The Syrian government was alleged to have provided the funds for their activities. A special court was set up, and 22 conspirators were executed; a number of others were sentenced to prison terms. This development put an end to plans for union with Syria.

Conflicts That Led Up Too The Iraq War On September 11 Of 2001 The Iraqis Crashed An American Airplane In To The Twin Towers. The Iraq people were taking Americans hostage and also making threats to the Americans that they were going to bomb us.

When Will Troops Come Home? Two-in-five adults in the United States believe the coalition effort should be over in 2009, according to a poll by Rasmussen Reports. 39 per cent of respondents think the United States should bring all troops home from Iraq within a year, up two points since February. (Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Two-in-five adults in the United States believe the coalition effort should be over in 2009, according to a poll by Rasmussen Reports. 39 per cent of respondents think the United States should bring all troops home from Iraq within a year, up two points since February. In addition, 26 per cent of respondents would withdraw all soldiers immediately, and 31 per cent want them to remain in Iraq until the mission is complete.

Current Conflicts in Iraq The U.S. Army has plans to keep the current level of soldiers in Iraq through 2010, the top Army officer said Wednesday, a later date than Bush administration or Pentagon officials have mentioned thus far. The Army chief of staff, Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker, cautioned against reading too much into the planning, saying troops levels could be adjusted to actual conditions in Iraq. He said it is easier to hold back forces scheduled to go there than to prepare and deploy units at the last minute. This is not a prediction that things are going poorly or better, Schoomaker told reporters. Its just that I have to have enough ammo in the magazine that I can continue to shoot as long as they want us to shoot.

Iraqs 08 Fate Iraq's crude capital, Basra, and perhaps its most controversial city, Kirkuk, also flush with oil, face a formidable The futures of both depend on how the post-2003 power vacuum plays out, though the latter could be settled with a political compromise in Baghdad. In Basra, after nearly five years of a U.S. occupation that focused on sectarian divisions, intra-Shiite politics have taken hold. "It is about the struggle for control of the most important governorate in Iraq, in terms of the oil economy," said Reidar Visser, editor of the Iraq Web site historiae.org and an Iraq expert at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs. "This struggle is by no means decided yet. It's not over by any sense."
