History of Iraq War

Basically the Iraq War started in 2003 when President Bush announced that Saddam had 2 days to flee the country. When Saddam did not flee U.S. soldiers started to invade Iraq. U.S. forces have been there ever since. There has also been billions of billions of dollars spent towards funding this war. Even after we captured Saddam and Bush said the war was won. Since then however many years have been spent over there with thousands of U.S. citizens killed,  along with hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people. To most people it seems as if this war is completely pointless. This is the position that both Hillary Clinton and Obama have towards this war. John McCain on the other hand believes that this war must continue.
