=FIRST IRAQ WAR = = =

==The War in Iraq is also referred to as the Second Gulf War or Operation Iraqi Freedom. The Iraq War began on March 20, 2003 under the administration of President George W. Bush and the United Kingdom under Prime Minister Tony Blair. Due to the invasion of Iraq, Iraq threatened to use weapons of mass destruction which threatened the security of the United States. Because of Iraq threatening to used mass destruction weapons the United States feared for the safety of the people so in 2002 the United States Security Council passed Resolution 1441 which called for Iraq to completely cooperate with UN weapon inspectors to verify that it was not in possession of weapons of mass destruction and cruise missiles. This war is significant to U.S. because many soldiers have lost their life to protect the people in U.S. It has also cost money to the U.S. ==
