Answer 2

ok I know thatiraq is one of the gulf war country and the people of it were abused by the ex prisedent saddam then in 1991 iraq tryied to invade iran and kuwait then kuwiat asked all the countries in the world for help and a lot of countries responded to kuwait at this time in saudi arabia  they were trying to help kuwait too so osama ben laden and he was a saudi citizen at this time offerd to the royalty family of saudi arabia to fight the iraqi army in kuwait by his army who was trained very good by the fbi  then they refused his offer cause they got a better offer of the united states and that offer was a 500000 soldier of the american army to fight the iraqi army in kuwait and when osama offer refused he got mad on the royalty family and cause of that they kicked him out of saudi arabia and toke the saudi nationality of him then osama went to afghanstan  then the us army  won the war for kuwait and the president of the united states at this time was george bush the father then later the 9\11 events happend in 2001 and it shocked the world not only the americans and the prisedent of the united states at this time was george w bush who promised the americans to revenge for his country and kill all the people who done that attack then osama bin laden apperd in the news on al jazeera channel and admited that he is the one who done this attack and by the way osama bin laden is a former saudi citizen  who done the attack by his afghani army and he is living in afghanstan or pakistan I am not sure so george w bush attacked the innocent iraqi people who didnt do any thing to america cause they was busy getting abused , tortured and killed by their ex president saddam hussain so george w bush attacked them when he was suppose to attack osama bin laden in whereever the place he is but the interesting part about george w bush before he become a prisident is that he was and still the owner of a big oil and gas  companies and when he atacked iraq the world accused him that he made a war with iraq for the oil of it and it was a big chance actually for him cause iraqi people were hate thier prisident cause of what he done for them so when george w bush attacked iraq the people of iraq some of them welcomed the american army and some of them asked the american army to go back home cause they dont wanna them in thier country cause they doubted why the american army is here then the war on iraq began and a lot of innocent people died for nothing and tortured for nothing inside iraq in abu gharib prison to see all the photos of the torture go to this website

and the war still on for no obvious  reason the americans sayed the reason is the iraqi people cant take care of them self in this moment haha are you kidding me? are you wanna tell me that a nation of millions cant take care of it self it looks like its the kindergarden and the iraqi people is the kidz and the americans are the nannys like the world sayed this war is for oil

oh and i forgot the reason that the united nations army accepted to go make a war on iraq with america is because if they refused to go do a war in iraq with america they will have proplems later with america like economecal proplems for example

hope that I helped you with all my information

Answer 3

There's no space for everything that I know about Iraq. I do know that Iraq had lost about 500,000 children before the second invasion due to the US led economic sanctions.

I also know that thousands of lives are being lost because the country does not have safe drinking water, it has open sewage, and there is a serious lack of medical equipment, supplies, and personnel.

I also know that these problems were caused by an illegal attack and occupation by the US. The vast majority of Iraqis want the US out of their country immediately. If this is a democracy, the US Government needs to respect Iraqi and US voters.

The US military offers absolutely no security for most of the country (outside the Green zones). The media has repeated government and big business lies incessantly.

Answer 4

I will not list everything I know about the war, but I will suggest the following books if you are really interested then you can read them:

Fiasco by Thomas Ricks and Imperial Life in The Emerald City by Rajiv Chandraskearan

Answer 5

I think I know some but not all as I haven't been there.....

What I know is that the climate is varied - it snows in the north in the winter and can reach temperatures over 150 in summer.

The are water buffalo in Iraq , a lot of donkeys and not many camels in most of the country.

There were chemical weapons found in parts of Iraq but the media was never thrilled with the amounts so that was ignored by most news services

The insurgents don't wear uniforms - they just blend in with the civilian population & take pot shot when every they feel like it -

At times our military is more worried about winning the hearts&minds and good media coverage than killing insurgents -

That the US military on the ground in Iraq is convinced they are succeeding and want a secure , stable Iraq.
