Started off by deciding that from here on out, I shall call Mr. Bruns- TG.
TG then went more in depth about what we were talking about yesterday.
We then finished blog discussions. Troops were sent all along the Saudi Arabia border and it led to the second Gulf War. It has been just over 10 years since we went to war. In 2003, we invaded the capital and Saddam Hussein began hiding. January, 2006, the US government was told that Iraq had no nuclear weapons, and had not been trying to make them. Sectarian Violence - violence between religious groups. Everything started when we believed Saddam Hussein had nuclear weapons. We helped Iraq by giving them a lot of money to them, and we mostly built up their military. We helped them establish a democracy, and kick-started their country. President Obama changed the way the military's way of attacking from running straight at them, to using drones and air strikes. President Obama believes that we never should have went to war in Iraq, and it took our focus away from Afghanistan. It caused 4,400 US deaths, 100,000 Iraqi deaths, and cost us nearly 1 trillion dollars (880 million).
We then worked on the map and did name that toon.
