George W. Bush's Argument Against The Invasion Of Iraq

In 2001, George W. Bush gave a speech to Congress after the terrorist attack on 9/11. Although I was 10 years old and unable to understand everything then, I am able to understand them now. And as an American citizen I stand by Bush wanting to keep America free and the world a safe place for all human’s to live in. Bush gave this speech on September 20, 2001. Nine days after America had been attacked by terrorists. Bush makes sure to thank many people, including all of America for pulling together and helping each other in this time of confusion and weakness. He then goes on to explain to American why we were attacked and who these terrorists were. They terrorists were al-Qaida, whose goal is to remake the world and impose their radical

In conclusion, President George Bush’s letter shows how united the world is against Iraq’s aggression. Twenty-eight countries would give military aid and one hundred governments would agree with the United States position. Iraq has no allies in their takeover of Kuwait. Bush’s threats of military action challenge Saddam Hussein’s arrogance and sense of infallibility. Warnings of the destruction of Iraq’s military and loss of life would be on the hands of Hussein himself. The United States would not be responsible for Iraq’s losses. Again, the primary audience for this letter is Hussein himself, because in a dictatorship such as Iraq, the people themselves are deprived of such information. Brute

In 2003, President George Walker Bush and his administration sent the United States military to war in Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein, Iraq’s ruler and dictator, who murdered over 600,000 innocent people, and “...used chemical weapons to remove Kurds from their villages in northern Iraq…” (Rosenberg 2). According to the Department of Defense’s website, the war removed Saddam Hussein from power, ending an era when “Iraqis had fewer rights than when its representatives signed the Human Rights Declaration in 1948” (1). American blood, money, and honor was spent in what was allegedly a personal war and perhaps a fight to gain oil and natural resources, but only history may reveal the truth. Although the Iraq War removed tyrant Saddam Hussein from power, the failures of the war dwarf the successes.

George W. Bush agrees with preemptive war, he believes that this is the best approach in seeking balance of power that favors human freedom. In the article "The National Security Strategy of the United States of America" Written by himself in 2005, he declares that his mission is to defend peace by fighting terrorist, preserve peace by building good relations among the great powers. Also, continuing the topic of peace by extending later by encouraging free and open societies. How is he going to do this? Bush has himself and the United States of America taken the responsibility to lead building a world that trades in freedom and therefore growing in prosperity. In unison with their allies and their new found cooperation with Russia that is partnering

The first step in establishing an Iraqi threat was to demonstrate that Iraq possessed WMD, meaning chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, and the means to deliver these weapons. The possession of these weapons would be in direct violation of U.N. resolutions put into effect after the Gulf War and hopefully justify any use of force under international law. Time and time again the Bush administration put forth statements that, “Saddam Hussein still has chemical and biological weapons and is increasing his capabilities to make more. And he is moving even closer to developing a nuclear weapon.” In February of 2003, one month before the U.S. waged war on Iraq, Secretary of State Colin Powell brought the administration’s case for war before the United Nations Security Council in an effort to garner U.N. support for an effort to disarm Iraq. By one count, “Powell made twenty-nine claims about Iraqi weapons, programs, behaviors,

His argument doesn’t sound like the non-sense that it actually is if we don’t take a closer look. If we look at the first backing and the support together, we can see that it is obviously a slippery slope which when an arguer claims that an action will initiate a chain of events culminating in an undesirable event later. In the speech, the President claims that if we pull the troops out, the terrorists “will use Iraq’s resource to fuel their extremist movement”. Because of that, it will lead that “our children have to face a Middle East overrun by terrorist states and radical dictators armed with nuclear weapons.” The whole chains of events are not likely to occur that based on the initial event (pulling the troops out). First of all, Iraqis people will probably stay in civil war and fight for the resources. Therefore, it is not likely that the terrorists can use Iraqis resource

After the terrorist attack of 9/11 President George W. Bush wanted to declare war on Iraq, and chose not to wait on the approval of Congress. He made this decision not because they were a direct threat the the moment, but because they could be a possible threat a year or five from that point in time. Bush’s claims for declaring war are not reasonable by any means. Claiming that they could be a threat down the road years from now, is not a practical reason to declare war on another country, you do not have the be the one to strike first to stop a potential threat to your country. These “emergency” actions by Bush were illegal and should have caused him to be impeached.

The Iraqi war was highly unjustified, the imposition of the American forces in the Iraqi soil was uncalled for, and it bred a lot of hostility between the Middle East and the United states that resulted in acts of terrorism against the United States. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people were killed including civilians

On March 19th, 2003 from the White House oval office President George W. Bush addressed the nation. "My fellow citizens. 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. On my orders, coalition forces have begun striking selected targets of military importance to undermine Saddam Hussein 's ability to wage war. These are opening stages of what will be a broad and concerted campaign. More than 35 countries are giving crucial support from the use of naval and air bases to help with intelligence and logistics to deployment of combat units. Every nation in this coalition has chosen to bear the duty and share the honor of

After 9/11 events, Tony Blair and George Bush were certain that Iraq owns weapons of mass destruction, and that Saddam Hussein had a hand in the events of 9/11. Both Blair and Bush justified their invasion of Iraq by saying that Saddam used chemical weapons on his people in favor of nuclear development. Tony Blair asked for a big solidarity from all over the world in order to stop terrorism and the building of WMD. During his visit to the USA, Tony Blair gave his speech in Nearby College Station announcing

Take a moment to visualize the Iraq War and how it changed the United States. In the body paragraphs it is going to say what caused and what was the effect of the Iraq war. I also left some web sites down below so you can check out some websites.The Iraq war was consistes of tow phases. The frist phases was brief, conventionally and was fought is March-April 2003. The second phase was longer than the frist phases because it lead to U.S.- led occupation of iraq,

Saddam’s decision to invade Kuwait was largely the result of the disappointing outcome of the Iran-Iraq war, combined with traditional Iraqi skepticism about Kuwait’s legitimacy, resentment over “stolen” Iraqi oil from the Rumaila field, and Kuwait’s overproduction of oil. The invasion was widely condemned as it blatantly violated international laws prohibiting the conquest of sovereign states and because Iraq’s presence in Kuwait posed a danger to the Gulf States. The act was seen as so egregious that even Bin Laden condemned it and offered to defend Saudi Arabia against Saddam’s Ba’athism on the condition that American troops would not be allowed in–the Saudi officials rejected his offer. In response to the invasion, the Bush administration

As a matter of fact, It has been thirteen years since the beginning of the war in Iraq in 2003 and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime led by the U.S. army and its coalition. when the 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.”(George W. Bush speech, 2003) under the accusation of position or building for mass weapons of distraction. which those weapons were never to be found in Iraq. However, nowadays after democratization for the new Iraq. Iraq still endures many multi-ethnic and sectarian cleansing, civil wars, and continuous spread of violence across the country.

Journalists have argued that George W. Bush accused Iraq along with North Korea and Iran of being a part of “an axis of evil”. This terminology meant that these countries were seen and assumed to be a major threat to world’s stability. Notwithstanding being labeled as such, in order to help the situation the UN decided to cooperate with Iraq on one condition, which was for Iran to allow the UN to carry-out weapon inspections. Despite being given a chance to redeem their countries reputation, Iraq unfortunately failed to cooperate with these terms. This eventually led to the UN having suspicions that Iraq have in their positions illegal weapons, this became another cause for the war occurring.

In his 2002 State of the Union address, President George W. Bush named Iran, Iraq and North Korea, as states he deemed to be part of an “axis of evil.” He specifically mentioned those states alleged weapons of mass destruction programs as a threat to USA. Iraqi weapons of mass
