Why doesn`t President Bush Put a Stop Date On the Iraq WAR?

Abstract

My fellow citizens , at this hour , American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq , to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger . On my s coalition forces have begun striking selected targets of military importance to undermine Saddam Hussein 's ability to wage war . These are opening stages of what will be a broad and concerted campaign . More than 35 countries are giving crucial support -- from the use of naval and air bases , to help with intelligence and logistics

, to the deployment of combat units . Every nation in this coalition has chosen to bear the duty and share the honour of serving in our common defence (Bush 2003

Post nine-eleven , there was another group led by an important person which thought differently . President Bush declared War on Terrorism This was the precursor to attacking the Taliban in Afghanistan and seeking Al-Qaeda and its leader , Osama bin Laden . Later President Bush would an attack on Iraq to stop Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD and continue the War on Terrorism

Gaining some but not full , UN support , the USA , with strong support from its close ally , the UK , and other Coalition Force members , attacked Iraq in the spring of 2003 . The actual war lasted only about two weeks , but the efforts to transform Iraq to a self-ruled democracy have led to an extended occupation of the country...
