'''2003 Iraq War''' (3/20/2003-) began when the [[United States]] and allies including the [[United Kingdom]]<ref>[http://edition.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/11/20/prague.bush.nato/ Bush: Join 'coalition of willing'], retrieved March 21, 2007</ref> launched a combat operation against [[Iraq]], with President Bush stating various objectives - one of which was deposing dictator [[Saddam Hussein]] and also to bring Iraq into compliance with United Nations resolutions regarding [[Weapons of Mass Destruction|Weapons of Mass Destruction programs]] (although no such weapons have been found). The war is currently ongoing, and there exists a large debate over topics such as disengagement of American forces and the role of nations in the region. The administration argues that the war is crucial to the larger U.S.-led [[War on Terrorism]]. Oddly enough, though, the Bush administration has also acknowledged that no ties existed between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda - a claim which had been used for years to justify the war. Some Democrats have criticised the administration for perceived the administration for percieved blunders in the war on terror, and have themselves been criticized for doing so.
