What were the reasons for the Iraq war and how will they stand today?
On March 20, 2003, the United States launched a full-scale invasion of Iraq, led by coalition forces with close British support.
The claim of aggression against a Middle Eastern country is based on three basic assumptions: their further development for the potential benefit of “terrorist” groups; And creating a “friendly and democratic” Iraq will be a model for the region.
But 20 years after the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom, there are still questions about whether the invasion of Iraq was the product of deliberate deception by the US, Britain and other constituencies, a rogue intelligence operation, or a strategic calculation. The question is whether it is due to
What seems inevitable is that the war in Iraq cast a long shadow over US foreign policy that continues to this day.
Weapons of mass destruction
On January 29, 2004, David Kay, head of the Iraq Investigative Group (ISG), told the US Senate, “We were almost all wrong.”
His team, a fact-finding mission launched by a multinational force to detect and neutralize alleged weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, essentially confirms that Hussein had an active weapons development program.
The Bush administration had presented it as a certainty before the invasion.
On October 7, 2002, in a speech in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, the President of the United States stated that Iraq “has and is producing chemical and biological weapons. It wants nuclear weapons.”
Then he came to the conclusion that Hossein should be stopped. “We must not allow Iraqi dictators to threaten America and the world with terrible poisons, diseases, gases and nuclear weapons,” Bush said.
Then-British Prime Minister Tony Blair said as much on September 24, 2002, when he presented a British intelligence dossier alleging Hussein could operate chemical and biological weapons “inside”.
When the ISG published its findings, it was one of the major debates of the war.
