• W345772889 abstract "AbstractA critical analysis of the available accounts given about the United Sates (US) and United Kingdom (UK) - Iraq war (This was actually not a war but deliberate invasion) reveals a very cleverly calculated and planned strategy. The US and UK knew well in advance that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction (WMD) (If Saddam Hussein had WMD then US and UK might have given him during Iran-Iraq war which they deliberately refused to tell the world. This was a possible revelation for their insistence that Saddam Hussein had WMD). The unilateral decision taken by US and UK to wage this brutal and senseless war against Iraq killing millions of innocent Iraqis, destroying built infrastructure and plunging the country into perpetual absolute chaos is worth an account. In this empirical literature review research paper an analysis of Iraq invasion is provided to inform the world about the pre-meditated intentions of US and UK to unilaterally wage war on Iraq despite UN and worldwide protests.Key words: Consistency, invasion, foreign policy, aggression, unilateral decision, strategy, defence of democracy, promotion of democracy fight against terrorism, infrastructure destructionIntroductionFrom the numerous consulted sources related to the invasion of Iraq by the US and UK reveal several indicators which show that the invaders had other intentions of going to war with Iraq; other than the made-belief claim that Iraq had WMD (Doherty, 2004; Harding, 2004). Several accounts indicate that intelligence was not used to make a decision for war as such it was not driven by bad intelligence as previously claimed by the American media; rather it was a war of choice (Doherty, 2004). The then President George Bush changed the rationale to justify the invasion and his lust and determination for war on Iraq (Burbachi & Tarbell, 2004). The clue is that the war had been planned even before the United Nation's (UN) resolution for Iraq's search for WMD and peaceful disarmament. The rationale given by the US's president to justify the war on Iraq rolled from the US's fear that Iraq had and was still developing WMD to further claims of Iraq's collaboration with al-Qaeda insurgence and the fear of the possibility of Iraq giving WMD to terrorists and finally of bring democracy to Iraq (Harding, 2004; Doherty, 2004).Since the invasion of Iraq numerous commissions have shown that the first three rationales proposed by President George Bush were plain lies. However, the impatience that the US and the UK had with the UN's commissioned search for WMD was considered as a waste of time which they thought could buy time for Iraq to build more WMD and increase the danger of providing support to terrorists (Kellner, 2004). The rest of this analysis is based on relevant recorded sources.Main premises for the unilateral Iraq attack by US and UKExtensive literature on the Iraq invasion consulted indicate that the US and the UK attacked Iraq, basically, for their economic and political gains influenced by their foreign policy and aided by their military and technological super power advancement, after the collapse of the United Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR); which determined their unilateral action to go to war in the name of self defence and spreading genuine democracy in the Middle East (Al-Marashi, 2004). In effect, these factors seemed to be closely interwoven and indispensable. Even though this was the case, all the factors clustered around the two super powers' greater need for securing access to and total control of oil reserves as well as oil production; and taking advantage of their military superiority and advancement in military technology.Harding (2004) traces the US's and UK's interests in Iraq oil as far back as 1928 when UK's incursion into Iraq failed abysmally. Since then, the two super powers have had a long standing tradition of intervention and invasion in order to take part in oil drilling and establish a complaint based on cheap oil regime in Iraq. …" @default.
