WE STARTED A WAR AND THERE WAS NOTHING AT ALL




On this the feast of Saint Joseph and also the anniversary of the first Daylight Savings Time in 1918 enacted by Congress is also the tenth anniversary of the War In Iraq. Does it seem possible that so many of our soldiers were killed or wounded over Saddam Hussein's "weapons of mass destruction." Thank God we never thought of North Korea in the same light at that time, or we simply wouldn't be here, today!
On this day in 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 idea 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. The first targets, which Bush said were "of vital  military importance," were hit with Tomahawk cruise missiles from U.S. fighter-bombers and warships stationed in the Persian Gulf. In response to the attacks, Republic of Iraq radio in Baghdad announced, "the evil ones, the enemies of God, the homeland and humanity, have committed the stupidity of aggression against our homeland and people."Though Saddam Hussein had declared in early March 2003 that, "it is without doubt that the faithful will be victorious against aggression," he went into hiding soon after the American invasion, speaking to his people only through an occasional audiotape. Coalition forces were able to topple his regime and capture Iraq's major cities in just three weeks, sustaining few casualties. President Bush declared the end of major combat operations on May 1, 2003. Despite the defeat of conventional military forces in Iraq, an insurgency has continued an intense guerrilla war in the nation in the years since military victory was announced, resulting in thousands of coalition military, insurgent and civilian deaths.
After an intense manhunt, U.S. soldiers found Saddam Hussein hiding in a six-to-eight-foot deep hole, nine miles outside his hometown of Tikrit. He did not resist and was uninjured during the arrest. A soldier at the scene described him as "a man resigned to his fate." Hussein was arrested and began trial for crimes against his people, including mass killings, in October 2005.
In June 2004, the provisional government in place since soon after Saddam's ouster transferred power to the Iraqi Interim Government. In January 2005, the Iraqi people elected a 275-member Iraqi National Assembly. A new constitution for the country was ratified that October. On November 6, 2006, Saddam Hussein was found guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death by hanging. After an unsuccessful appeal, he was executed on December 30, 2006. No weapons of mass destruction were ever found in Iraq.

Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so
I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly
enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but
I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any suggestions for inexperienced blog writers? I'd really appreciate it.

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now
each time a comment is added I get several e-mails with
the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Thanks a lot!

An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment.
I think that you need to publish more about this subject, it might not be a taboo subject
but usually people do not talk about such subjects.
To the next! Many thanks!!

I rarely leave remarks, however i did some searching and wound up here "WE STARTED A WAR AND THERE WAS NOTHING AT ALL".
And I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Is it only me or does it look like a few of the remarks appear like left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting on other sites, I'd like to follow everything new you
have to post. Would you list of every one of your community pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

I have been browsing on-line more than three hours these days, but I by no means found
any interesting article like yours. It is beautiful worth enough for me.

In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the web will be a
lot more useful than ever before.
