Answer 1

Answer:

"Reports indicated that Iraq was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction"

Explanation:

The invasion of Iraq, which occurred between March 20 and May 1, 2003, was carried out by a coalition of countries, led by the United States along with the United Kingdom, Australia and Poland. Other countries were involved in the occupation phase. The invasion marked the beginning of the war in Iraq.

According to the president of the United States, George W. Bush, the reasons for the invasion were "to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) -which never came to be found, nor its existence demonstrated-, to put an end to the (supposed) support provided by Saddam Hussein to terrorism, and achieve the "freedom" of the Iraqi people. The main detractors of the war point to these reasons as excuses to carry out the invasion, motivated by economic and political interests ».
