WAR IN IRAQ BEGAN ON THIS DAY IN 2003

Why the war in Iraq was fought for Big Oil - CNN.com

On March 19, 2003, the United States, along with coalition
forces primarily from the United Kingdom,
initiates war on
Iraq
. Just after explosions began to rock Baghdad, Iraq’s
capital, U.S. President
George W. Bush announced in a
televised address, “At this hour, American and coalition
forces are in the early stages of military operations to
disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world
from grave danger.”

President Bush and his advisors built much of their case
for war on the specious claim
that Iraq, under dictator
Saddam Hussein, possessed or was in the process of
building weapons of mass destruction.

Hostilities began about 90 minutes after the U.S.-imposed
deadline for Saddam Hussein to leave Iraq or face war
passed.
