The war in Iraq


On March 19, 2003, President George Bush announced that the U.S. war against Iraq had begun. Searches for Iraq, its leader Saddam Hussein, and the previous Gulf War had been growing as the war’s build-up progressed, but the initial air strikes, the search for weapons of mass destruction and anti-war protests soon became the focus.

In April, the dramatic rescue of Private Jessica Lynch captivated Search … as did the shocking revelation that the alleged heroic event was actually staged. Iraq remained a top search throughout the decade, including the toppling of the Saddam statue in Baghdad; the deaths of Saddam's sons, Uday and Qusay; the beheading of American contractor Nicholas Berg; the capture, trial and hanging of Saddam Hussein; battles in Fallujah; the Abu Ghraib prison controversy; and the injury and recovery of ABC newsman Bob Woodruff.
