The US has been in conflict with Iraq several times.
The leader of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, has, in the past, been a very aggressive leader, continuing to launch attacks in Kuwait, Syria, and Iran.
In the early 2000's, the Central Intelligence Agency received intelligence that Saddam had access to "Weapons of Mass Destruction", so President Bush turned this information over to the United Nations and North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
The UN took concern over it and requested that inspectors be deployed to Iraq to try to find if Saddam actually did have access to these weapons or not, but Saddam refused to cooperate.
In response, the UN/NATO deployed soldiers to Iraq, believing it was a better choice than allowing Saddam to continue his operations in secrecy. This is what led to the 2003 Invasion of Iraq.
By the end of the conflict, Saddam had been detained and executed. These high-powered weapons were never found, and some believe that Iraq never had access to them, but such comments are debateable.
At the end of the day, it was a good excuse to wipe out a hostile dictator.
