Saddam Hussein's government began to crumble rapidly after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003. The coalition forces quickly captured Baghdad by April 9, 2003, leading to the fall of Hussein's regime. Within a matter of weeks, key government structures collapsed, and Saddam himself went into hiding, ultimately being captured in December 2003. The swift military action and subsequent chaos marked a dramatic and rapid disintegration of his government.
Saddam Hussein ( Iraq's leader) invaded Kuwait in 1990. He wanted to take over it's oil wells and to continue his invasion to Saudi Arabia for the same reason.
Operation Iraqi Freedom was the codename for the American Invasion of Iraq. The causes of that invasion are, as of yet, not clear. The government of the United States has posited that it was to find Weapons of Mass Destruction and remove Saddam Hussein from power. Others have stipulated that it was on account of American desires for Iraqi Oil.
First, that wasn't the mission. The UN only sanctioned a mission to dislodge Iraqi forces from Kuwait, not charging onto Baghdad and overthrow Saddam Hussein from power. The mission was a success and once the routed Iraqi forces crossed back to the Iraqi border from Kuwait after being expelled by U.S. and UN forces in February 1991, the mission was declared complete and a ceasefire agreement was signed between UN forces and Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Since the 1991 Gulf War ceasefire agreement, the U.S. maintained presence in the Persian Gulf since to keep an eye out of Saddam Hussein's aggression. This include the Iraqi no-fly zones enforced by U.S. and British(along with France until they withdrew from the no-fly zone patrol in 1998) aircraft patrols to protect the Kurds in northern Iraq and Shia Muslims in the south from attacks by the Iraqi Air Force, the continuing UN economic sanctions against Iraq, ongoing UN inspections of Saddam's WMDs program, and so on.Second, most of the U.S.-led Coalition agreed to a UN mission to rid Iraqi forces from Kuwait, not going onto Baghdad and remove Saddam from power. If George Bush Senior unilaterally exceeding the UN mandate to spread the war onto Baghdad and topple Saddam Hussein's regime, the coalition that he put up would have collapsed and the U.S. can be seen in the eyes of the international community as the aggressors. I don't think Bush Senior want to with that.Third, George Bush Senior also said the reason why he didn't charge onto Baghdad and take out Saddam Hussein in 1991 because of geopolitical interests in Turkey, Syria, and Iran. As he mentioned in his 1998 book, "The Worlds Transformed", if he actually take Saddam Hussein out of power in Baghdad, Iraq would have plunged into a never ending tribal civil war between warring factions, destablized the region, stregetening Iran's influence, possibly leading to a pro-Iranian Shiite government, possibly cause Iraqi Kurdistan to be destabilized, make the Kurds in Turkey demand independence and start a war there with the help of Iraqi Kurdistan, and U.S. forces would be stuck in Iraq for years in an unwinnable guerrilla warfare with thousands of lives lost and trillions were sucked out from the U.S. of rebuilding the whole country of Iraq. So Bush Senior decide to let Saddam stay in power and keep in eyes of check of factions as well as watching out of Iran. Which i think it was the best political decision ever made by the first Bush administration.Unlike George Bush Junior, he pretty much did in 2003 that meaning no coalition and went onto Iraq desipte the consequences Bush Senior made and cause the world to turn against the USA.

It took thousands of dollars, and so much time. He claimed to have nuclear weapons, but he was joking.

he was not a very good leader all he wanted was power and to take over land that wasnot his and to take control of the oil population. He used chemical weapons to remove Kurdis people from their villages in northern Iraq and 5,000 women, men and children died.

The United States didn't want to invade Iraq for their oil. (that was the earlier answer) The reason why the United States interfered was this: Kuwait and Iraq share oil fields, and every so often, each country is allowed to take a certain amount of oil from the fields. Then, Saddam Hussein decided that he wanted more than his fair share of oil. He wanted all of it. So he blamed Kuwait for taking more oil than allowed, to start a conflict that he might win. The United States thought that this wasn't a good idea, and they decided to invade Iraq to help Kuwait. (the answer to the question) The United States fought on Kuwait's side until Iraq and Saddam Hussein realized that they couldn't win. The Saddam Hussein did something so incredibly stupid. He burned all of the oil! Hussein was acting like a big baby, saying "If I can't have it, no one can!" The United States still won, but the disappointing part was that Hussein remained in power. When the troops returned, the American citizens provided overwhelming support for them. I hope you meant the first invasion, and I !!
