information on the invasion of iraq

The September 11 attacks (of ten referred to as September 11 or 9/11) were a series of coordinated suicide attacks suicide attacks by al queda upon the united states on September 11, 2001. 19 Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the twin towers or the world trade centre in new york city. The third plane crashed into the pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed in a field in shanksvielle in rural Pennsylvania. After this horrific attack George Bush announced a war on terror, it is an ongoing international military campaign led by the united states of america and the united kingdom. The campaign was launched in 2001 with the us/uk invasion of afghanistan in response to the september 11th attacks. since then, other operations have commenced, the largest being the war in iraq, beggining with the 2003 invasion. the 2003 invasion of iraq (march 20th-may 1st), was the start of the conflict known as the iraq war or operation iraqi freedom in which a combined force of troops from the united states, alongside the united kingdom invaded iraq and toppled the regime saddam hussien in 21 days. According to U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the reasons for the invasion were "to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, to end Saddam Hussein's alleged support for terrorism, and to free the Iraqi people."According to Blair, the trigger was Iraq's failure to take a "final opportunity" to disarm itself of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons that US and British officials called an immediate and intolerable threat to world peace. The war lasted untill august 31st, 2010 and has been questioned about its true motives and whether there were any weapons off mass destruction as they were never found also it has been questioned whether oil was the real motive for the attack as there was a law passed on that states that 75% of all the oil goes to american companies so it means that the motives cant be justified by the government of the invading countries. However if there were no weapons of mass desruction then what was sadam trying to hide from the countrys.

my question

I am slightly changing my question so that it is not about the affganistan war where as the films i have are about the iraq conflict it is also easier to get up information about it and more books have been made around it.

Waltz of Bashir

The film i chose waltz of Bashir as one of my secondary films which i was told to use is in the wrong conflict so i decided to chose the film, Thhe kingdom as i feel it has a lot of values and ideologies around the Iraq war.

New small scale reasearch question

The idealogies of Iraq/Afghanistan war as depicted within a body of films. The films i will be using are Hurtlocker, Greenzone, Waltz with Bashir and maybe Jarhead.

Original question

The ideologies of war as depicted within a body of films however i decided it was to broad and i would not ne able to do a small scale reasearch on something so broad as loads of wars over the last 50 to 60 years.
