The American and British invasion of Iraq in 2003 led to the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime, but it also resulted in significant instability and violence in the country. The power vacuum created by the invasion contributed to a prolonged insurgency, sectarian conflict, and the rise of extremist groups, including ISIS. The invasion's justification, primarily based on the alleged presence of weapons of mass destruction, was later discredited, leading to widespread criticism of the decision to go to war. Overall, the outcome has had lasting implications for Iraq and the broader Middle East.
The American and British invasion of Iraq in 2003 was primarily justified by the belief that the Iraqi government, led by Saddam Hussein, possessed weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) that posed a threat to international security. Additionally, the invasion aimed to remove Hussein from power and promote democracy in Iraq. Critics argue that the WMD claims were exaggerated or unfounded, and that the invasion had broader geopolitical motives, including securing oil resources and countering terrorism in the region. Ultimately, the invasion led to significant political and social upheaval in Iraq.

No,it was not.
This question strikes me as somewhat misinformed. Since it was Saddam Hussein's country which was invaded, I don't think he had a purpose in the invasion. The invasion was undertaken by American forces against Iraq, and Saddam fled.
