The background story behind the invasion.

The Invasion of Iraq in 2003 had detrimental consequences that impacted not only the United States soldiers and government, but also Iraq’s soldiers, government and civilians. Things such as the death toll, controversy over reasons for invading, and newfound strains in international relationships are also part of the many impacts the invasion had on both a national and global scale. Propaganda from the Bush Administration in 2003 stated: 'The US-led invasion was a necessary and justified intervention to remove a brutal dictator whose regime threatened world peace and stability by its efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction and its support for international terrorism.’ (Cogan, 2003). This is what the United States and George W. Bush released and told the public behind the reason for invading Iraq, but there are serious doubts that this is the truth.
