By most accounts, the total from the invasion of Iraq under President George W. Bush beginning in 2003, up to when President Obama officially took office in 2009 was about 4,139 servicemen and women killed. (This does not count the number who were wounded.)
Weapons of mass destruction
Bush, Obama, and Old and moldy W. Bush :(
No, he did not. President Obama had promised to withdraw troops and end the Iraq War; but he was also willing to leave a residual force in Iraq. Unfortunately, the new leader of Iraq at that time, Nouri Al Maliki, did not want American troops there, and no agreement was reached to keep them there. Therefore, no residual force was left in Iraq in 2011 when US troops came home.
Obama wants to take the troops out of Iraq in a responsible manner. He believes that the troops were irresponsibly placed in Iraq and he says that there have been enough casualties.
The administration wanted to remove Saddam from power; which was done. Now the administration has to restore law and order and stability to that nation.
Turning the US auto-industry and ending the war in Iraq are some of the accomplishments of the administration of Barack Obama.
too many.
"Obama's Wars" is a book written by journalist Bob Woodward and was published in 2010. It provides an inside look at the decision-making process of the Obama administration regarding the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Kingdom of Iraq - Mandate administration - ended in 1932.
Kingdom of Iraq - Mandate administration - was created in 1920.
Obama wants to make peace with Iraq so there is no more war
President Obama has already ordered attacks against Islamic State/ISIS targets inside Iraq, and his administration is looking into the feasibility of attacks against targets of the same terrorist group in Syria.
When Mr. Obama came into office, there were two wars going on, both begun under President Bush. One was in Iraq and the other was in Afghanistan. President Obama kept his promise to end the war in Iraq and bring the troops home, but the war is Afghanistan is continuing, and US withdrawal is not scheduled to occur till 2014.
He ended the War in Iraq, but not in Afghanistan.
Obama believes that the war in Iraq ought to end.
he pulled out all the troops from iraq so there wouldn't be a war anymore
He's probably a bit jealous and embarrassed since he had said long ago that it was "Mission Accomplished" during his term, when in reality it was actually just accomplished during the Obama administration.
