Saddam Hussein put to death for crimes against humanity
Obama- passed the Obamacare and capitalized the banks/sided with a foreign leader , persecuting Arizona for immigration, biggest spending bill, America loses it's AAA rating.
Causes of Iraq ('03-'11)-thought to fight the war on terror, a lot of oil there, help out the government and make it democracy, and that they had weapons of mass destruction-which wasn't true, he had them before and Hussein was putting misinformation out there. Operation Iraqi Freedom by US military.
1990- Persian Gulf War- Hussein invaded Kuwait and we sent troops to Saudi Arabia. We hoped it would protect Saudi Arabia and Hussein would back out of Kuwait. We invaded Kuwait in 1991 "Desert Storm," 34 nations' goal was to free Kuwait, which we succeeded-easy victory. We lost 392 people, they lost 20,000-35,000 people. Hussein was allowed to remain in power. Consequences for Iraq: economic sanctions, weapons inspector, and no fly zone, where they couldn't have any military power.
Bush-took down Saddam Hussein, established a democracy, build up schools, hospitals, transportation, the "Surge,"-sent about 30,000 troops to get things under control, torture of Abu Ghraib, people said they were "bad eggs" and they said that they "were just following orders"
Obama-ended the war by the end of 2011
