Today in class we talked about ning and how peoples blogs were getting lost and can't edit blogs after they posted them. We went over the countries of the Asia map. It went pretty good I think I will ace the test. Today we finished up on are duscussion on Iraq. We won the Persian Gulf War. If you ask Iraqis they would say they one because Saddam Husien was still in power and never had tropps in there country or take over Bagdad. We ticked off a lot of Islamic people in the 1990's. The U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003 because we believed they had weapons of mass distruction. We believed this because CIA got information that he was buying Uranium from African countries. He was basically playing games with the U.S. Saddam wanted Iran to think Iraq was big and powerful and we should keep are nose out of Iraq. Some opponents of Bush went believe we went to war in Iraq for oil. Officially we went over there for Weapons of Mass Distruction.The U.S. never really found WMD in Iraq. United Nations role at first was not very big. They pretty much didn't want anything to do with it. Invasion in 2003 was a key part in this war. When Iraq became a democracy was a key moment. Saddam Huussien captured in a undergound farm thing, looked really ragged and not good, He was put to trial and was sentenced the death penalty. Obama pulled troops out was another. The Surge was the last key part. The Surge was when we sent more soldiers in Iraq, even democrats believed this helped and Iraq has gotten More Under Control. Obama said he is going to spend more money on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. 7.2 Million dollars will be focosed on Iraq. In Febuary 2009 Obama said we would be out of Iraq. That is what we did and what I learned in class today.
