On March 17, 2003, President Bush gave Hussein 48 hours to
leave Iraq. After the dictator refused, the United States and Great
Britain launched Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The United States hosted a meeting with Iraqi representation to
determine the future government of Iraq. The representatives
adopted a 13-point statement, stating that Iraq would respect
diversity and rule by law. However, one of the countrys main Shia
groups, the Iranian-based Supreme Council for the Islamic
Revolution, refused to attend.
Slide 36
Much of the case for going to war against Iraq was based on the
belief that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Once
major combat ended on May 1, U.S. forces began an extensive search
for these weapons. By late-2004, chemical or biological weaponry
had not been found.
Slide 37
Since the downfall of Saddam, insurgents (fighters) continue to
attack US troops in Iraq Many fight for different reasons Mainly,
Iraq has two religious groups that dont like each other (Sunni and
Shia) Because of this, Iraq is in a civil war
Slide 38
Estimates of the number of insurgents are impossible to
confirm. By 2006, US military estimates ranged from 8,000 to
20,000, although Iraqi intelligence officials have issued figures
as high as 40,000 fighters plus another 160,000 supporters.
Fighters have been found among the insurgents from countries
including Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Sudan.

The War in Iraq was not going well Violence was increasing
daily Bush responded by making the (unpopular) decision to send in
many more troops to Iraq. Amazingly this surge has helped reduce
violence in Iraq, but questions still remain about what happens
when we withdraw from the country.

Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, an intelligence analyst who sent
700,000 classified U.S. documents to the WikiLeaks website.
Slide 54
He said the files showed that "thousands" of war crimes may
have been committed in Afghanistan. The documents have revealed
unreported incidents of Afghan civilian killings and information
about secret operations against Taliban leaders, as well as
highlighting US fears that Pakistan's intelligence service was
aiding the Afghan uprising. Assange rejected accusations that the
leak had compromised America's national security. "We don't see any
difference in the White House's response to this case to the other
groups that we have exposed. We have tried hard to make sure that
this material does not put innocents at harm. All the material is
over seven months old so is of no current operational consequence,
even though it may be of very significant investigative
consequence." Julian Assange said that the 90,000 leaked US
military documents about the war in Afghanistan would help shape
understanding of the past six years of fighting.

Slide 59
Top: What are al-Qaedas goals? Translate each one as if youre
explaining to your little brother. Bottom: Based on Al-Qaedas
strategy and goals, do you think they have been successful in
fighting the United States? What can we do to keep them from
achieving their goals?
Slide 60
Al-Qaeda: Successful or Unsuccessful? 1.Provoke the United
States into invading a Muslim country. 2.Incite local resistance to
occupying US forces. 3.Expand the conflict to neighboring
countries, and engage the U.S. in a long war of attrition.
4.Convert Al-Qaeda into an ideology and set of operating principles
that can be loosely franchised in other countries without requiring
direct command and control. 5.The U.S. economy will finally
collapse under the strain of too many engagements in too many
places, similarly to the Soviet war in Afghanistan.
