Operation Iraqi Freedom
The Iraq War was a prolonged conflict in Iraq that lasted from 2003 to 2011, initiated by a US-led coalition invasion that resulted in the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's Ba'athist government. The conflict persisted as an insurgency arose against coalition forces and the newly established Iraqi government, with US forces officially withdrawing in 2011. In 2014, the US re-engaged in Iraq, leading a new coalition against the Islamic State insurgency. The war was part of the Bush administration's war on terror, launched in response to the 9/11 attacks, and was justified by false claims of Iraqi possession of weapons of mass destruction and support for al-Qaeda. The war led to an estimated 150,000 to over a million deaths, including over 100,000 civilians, and had lasting geopolitical effects, including the emergence of the Islamic State. The war severely damaged the US' international reputation, and Bush's popularity declined sharply.learn more on wikipedia
