The US provide several billion to Iraq to help their economy. We really helped build their economy. Bush said we wouldn't leave until the job is done. The job was getting their government and military prepared to defend for themselves. Helped establish a democracy. Helped fix road, schools, and other stuff.
Bush--when he went to Iraq, he used a lot of ground attacks and up front attacks. He wanted to take out Al-Qda and get rid of them. They were believed to take over Iraq like they did to Afghanistan.
Obama--didn't like that so he used arial attacks. He helped to change everything and started to pull soldiers out. And accomplished that. He then sent some troops to Afghanistan after that. He never thought the Iraq war was worth it.
Iraq - 4,400 US deaths, 100,000 Iraq citizen deaths, cost about 800 billion.
