	2003 Invasion of Iraq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Zarqawi had settled in Kurdish northern Iraq (an area not controlled by Saddam Hussein's government) where he joined the terrorist organization Ansar al-Islam, which was an enemy of the Ba'athist government.
		Their view was that Iraq had violated the terms of the cease-fire by breaching two key conditions and thus made the invasion of Iraq a legal continuation of the earlier war.
		On 15 April, U.S. forces mostly took control of Tikrit, the last major outpost in central Iraq, with an attack led by the Marines' Task Force Tripoli (comprised of units from 1st, 2nd and 3rd LAR Battalions along with a company of infantry and the 1st Marine Division jump Headquarters).

	US invasion of Iraq: The phony war and popular resistance : Melbourne Indymedia
		The account of the US invasion of Iraq is cloaked in lies and distortions, which magnify the successes of the US military command.
		The US military invasion of Iraq resulted in a phony war, where the US pretended to engage an enemy in combat, when in fact it violently occupied the country with a minimum of resistance.
		The attempt by the US to "turn back the clock" to an earlier period of colonial invasions and direct rule was a bizarre notion foisted on the imperialists in the Bush Administration by the Zionist officials and extremist militarists.

	US invasion of Iraq: The phony war and popular resistance
		The story of a rapid victory, with a minimal number of casualties is cited as illustrative of the superior military power of the US, the genius of Pentagon strategists and the collapse of military morale among the Iraqi forces faced with superior military force and the inevitability of a US military victory.
		The US concentration on military control and oil extraction, and the political subcontracting of reconstruction of Iraqi infrastructure led to prolonged delays and ultimately failure to restart basic services to 25 million Iraqis, creating a sea of hostility to the US occupation and a new wave of recruits and sympathizers to the burgeoning guerrilla resistance.
		The US has not yet accepted that what preceded May 1 was a phony war, a media war that was won through an elite deal, a deal that allowed the US to conquer Iraq and left 25 million people out.

	US Invasion of Iraq 2003 - Uncyclopedia
		The US Invasion of Iraq that happened during 2003 was an extension of the War on Terra.
		US warplanes dropped bird droppings and dirt in Baghdad, which caused the extreme fear of dirt and bird droppings, which caused everyone to stay at home while the Iraqi Army was challenged to a paintball tournament (which is Iraq's national sport) hosted by the United States.
		Meanwhile, in the rest of the country, peace ensues, and Iraq is led into a properous age after the element rubicon, (which is ideal for making paintballs due to their rather sticky composition), is found.

	US preparing full-scale invasion of Iraq (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		US warplanes, meanwhile, are carrying out increasingly frequent strikes against Iraqi targets under the pretext of responding to Iraqi challenges to the enforcement of the “no-fly zone” in the south of the country.
		The leaking of the document detailing US invasion plans provoked little controversy in Washington, with Bush merely cautioning against “speculation.” A war between the United States and an Iraq still devastated from the last US invasion 12 years ago would be so unequal that the Bush administration sees little need for secrecy.
		While the US administration was scheduled to bring together a group of Iraqi “dissidents” in Washington July 9 and to hold another such meeting in London later in the month, no one in the administration has voiced any serious belief that these elements are capable of rallying significant forces against the Hussein regime.

	2003 Invasion of Iraq (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Note that the 2003 invasion was commonly called at the time the "Iraq War." This term is also commonly used to refer to Occupation of Iraq, 2003-2004 continuing hostilities in that country under military and civil occupation, though the U.S. government uses the term "insurgency" to refer to "non-official" opposition forces.
		Prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Zarqawi had settled in Kurdish northern Iraq (an area not controlled by Saddam Hussein's government) where he joined, and may have led, the terrorist organization Ansar al-Islam, which was an enemy of the Baathist regime.
		Prior to invasion, the United States and other coalition forces involved in the 1991 Persian Gulf War had been engaged in a low-level conflict with Iraq, enforcing the Iraqi no-fly zones where Iraqi air-defense installations were engaged on a fairly regular basis.

		The 2003 invasion of Iraq began on March 20, 2003, when a large force of United States and British troops invaded Iraq, leading to the collapse of the Iraqi government in about three weeks and the start of the 2003 occupation of Iraq.
		In 2002 the Iraq disarmament crisis arose primarily as a diplomatic situation, with United Nations actions regarding Iraq culminating in the passage of UN Security Council Resolution 1441 and the resumption of weapons inspections.
		Shortly after the sudden collaspe of the defense of Baghdad, rumors were circulating in Iraq and elsewhere that there had been a deal struck (a "safqua") wherein the US had bribed key members of the Iraqi military elite and/or the Baath party itself to stand down.

	The US Invasion of Iraq: The Military Side of Globalization?
		Iraq, not coincidentally, is also the only Arab country to combine a sizable educated population, large oil resources, and adequate water supplies, thereby making it possible for Baghdad to maintain a truly independent foreign and domestic policy.
		Explaining the U.S. invasion of Iraq in terms of imposing militarily what the IMF could not impose itself, however, may only be part of the story.
		The invasion of Iraq, then, may represent not just a frightening repudiation of the post-World War II international system embodied in the United Nations Charter, but a return to 19th century great power politics of imperial conquest to control key economic resources.

	US Invasion of Iraq Would Fail Just War Test
		The Administration knows this yet it states that Iraq’s mere possession of a WMD arsenal substantially downsized by seven and a half years of previous UN inspections which succeeded in completely destroying Iraq’s nuclear weapons development program is sufficient to justify a pre-emptive US invasion of Iraq.
		Accordingly, the Bush Administration’s attempts to present Iraq as a threat to the US are lacking in credibility as are its attempts to link Iraq to terrorist attacks against the US which even the Director of the CIA said are essentially unsubstantiated.
		Curiously, the Administration is inviting the exact type of threat by its planned illegal and unjustified invasion of Iraq that it claims to be attempting to pre-empt—namely the likely use by Iraq of its CBR arsenal against US soldiers as a last ditch measure to defend their homeland against a US invasion.

	The US Invasion of Iraq
		The short term justification (for the US) was that the invasion and subsequent occupation would intimidate the other Arab dictatorships and intimidate Iran.
		The second, long term justification was that the US needed the time to create institutions in Iraq `to protect the losers in a war from the vengeance of the winners'.
		Other US opposition comes from a belief that every ruling class has a right to choose its own culture, and that if some choose repression, that is their right.

		The invasion and events connected with it (such as the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. personnel) deeply humiliated many Iraqis and Arabs, and for many, confirmed Osama bin Laden's image of the West.
		Though it could be argued that the US invasion of Iraq goaded Al Qaeda to start attacking Saudi targets which then led to a Saudi government crackdown.
		Update: Perhaps a better measure of the effect of the US invasion of Iraq on Middle Eastern governments would be a study of their official media and official clerics.

	SOHH.com Global Forum - Perle admits US invasion of Iraq was illegal
		US President George W. Bush has consistently argued that the war was legal either because of existing UN Security Council resolutions on Iraq -- also the British government's publicly stated view -- or as an act of self-defense permitted by international law.
		Its main argument has been that the invasion was justified under the UN Charter, which guarantees the right of each state to self-defense, including pre-emptive self-defense.
		It is hypocritical for Bush to justify the invasion on such grounds.

		Kerry showed rare consistency by stating a few days after the convention, in response to a query as to whether he would increase troop numbers: "I don't envision it." In fact, on several occasions in the past months he made similar statements.
		His denunciation of "Americanization" in Iraq harks back to the Johnson- and Nixon-era policy of "Vietnamization"—which was essentially an effort to place the burden of war on South Vietnam, so the U.S. could quietly head for the exits.
		The broader implications of the invasion for U.S. national security and for a transformation of the Middle East are almost nonexistent in his campaigning.

	US Invasion of Iraq was a Mistake: Manmohan
		WASHINGTON -- Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, on the last day of his three-day visit to the US, said that the invasion of Iraq by the United States was a mistake.
		“In my sincere view, the invasion (by the US) was a mistake,” said Dr. Singh when asked what he felt about the US attack on Iraq to topple the government of Saddam Hussain on charges of possessing weapons of mass destructions.
		Prime Minister, however, accepted that he had not received any commitment from the US President on India’s candidature for a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) but pointed out that US has recognised the need for India’s role in the management of international affairs in coming years.
