- "As discussed, W. will provide the perfect distraction. I have no doubts he will restart animosities with Iraq. Let him, it will give C.'s contractors more work."
- ―Antonin Scalia in a letter to an associate, 2000.[src]
The Iraq War was a protracted armed conflict that began with the 2003 invasion of Iraq led by the United States. The invasion toppled the government of Saddam Hussein.
Background
The primary justification for the war was the belief that Iraq, under then-President Saddam Hussein, possessed weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and posed a threat to international security. The US government, led by President George W. Bush, argued for pre-emptive action, citing the need to eliminate this perceived threat.[1]
Course of the war
The conflict, initiated in March 2003, culminated in a military campaign which led to the fall of Baghdad in April, symbolizing the end of Saddam Hussein's rule.[1]
On 21 November 2005, US Congressmen and Representatives met with US Marine Chief Warrant Officer Timothy Callahan in Fallujah to discuss improvised explosive devices. The abilities of a bomb disposal robot were demonstrated, providing troops with a safer ability to discharge improvised explosive devices.[2]
In 2011, the Iraq War witnessed a significant turning point with the withdrawal of US troops, formally ending the nearly nine-year-long conflict. The withdrawal was part of a broader effort to transition Iraq to full sovereignty and self-governance.[1]
Templar involvement
The Templar Order had planned for their puppet, George W. Bush, to restart U.S-Iraq animosities and the ensuing war as early as 2000, in hopes of providing work for Dick Cheney's military contractors.[2]
