Iraq disarmament crisis: Encyclopedia II - Iraq Survey Group - Formation

The ISG was made up of 1,200 members of Australian, British and American experts. David Kay, a prominent U.S. scientist who searched for WMD after the first Gulf War, was chosen to head the group. The Iraq Survey Group continued the work of United Nations inspectors, led by Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei, who were mandated by the U.N. Security Council to search for illegal weapons before the conflict (See Iraq disarmament crisis). The replacement of UNMOVIC/IAEA with British and American scientists was consistent with general trends in the country, which saw the influence of the U.N. ...

Iraq disarmament crisis: Encyclopedia II - Senate Report of Pre-war Intelligence on Iraq - Chronology of the investigation

In the course of the investigation, Committee staff reviewed more than 30,000 pages of documentation provided by the intelligence community. The Committee requested that it be supplied copies of the President's Daily Briefs (PDBs) concerning Iraq's WMD capabilities and ties to terrorism, but the White House denied that request. An article by journalist Murray Waas has described a specific controversy over the PDB for September 21, 2001, which allegedly said that the US intelligence community had "no evidence" linking Saddam Hussein to the September 11 attac ...

Iraq disarmament crisis: Encyclopedia II - The UN Security Council and the Iraq war - Colin Powell's presentation

On February 5, 2003, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell presented a case for military intervention in Iraq to the UN Security Council. Powell presented an array of evidence from satellite images to (alleged) intercepted military communications and computer-generated images depicting mobile biological weapon production systems (the likelihood of these mobile systems have been questioned by experts, notably Hans Blix). By the United States government's own judgement, the evidence did not amount to a "smoking gun." U.S. Secretary of Defen ...

See military preparations for 2003 invasion of Iraq for full article. A recent U.S. plan to invade Iraq can be found in a report (September 2000) by the Project for the New American Century (PNAC). Several members of the PNAC became members of George W. Bush's administation. The September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack was seen as the opportunity of ages to justify the invasion plan.

Iraq disarmament crisis: Encyclopedia II - 2003 Invasion of Iraq - Invasion

Prior to invasion, the United States and other coalition forces involved in the 1991 Persian Gulf War had been engaged in a low-level conflict with Iraq, enforcing Iraqi no-fly zones. Iraqi air-defense installations were engaged on a fairly regular basis after repeatedly targeting American and British air patrols. In mid-2002, the U.S. began to change its response strategy, more carefully selecting targets in the southern part of the country in order to disrupt the military command structure in Iraq. A change in enforcement tactics was acknowledged at the time, but it was not made public that this was ...

Iraq disarmament crisis: Encyclopedia II - Iraq Survey Group - Political implications

Bush's primary rationale for invading Iraq was the allegation that Saddam was actively developing WMD and had stockpiles. The Administration's allegation of cooperation between terrorist groups (like Al Qaeda) would mean that Saddam would be able to transport those weapons to U.S. or European urban centers and detonate them, with significant casualties. In the 2004 presidential election, one of the main topics of debate surrounded the WMD allegations that Bush made. U.S. Senator John Kerry and Democrats asserted that Bush may have lie ...

Iraq disarmament crisis: Encyclopedia II - Iraq Survey Group - David Kay resigns

On January 23, 2004, the head of the ISG, David Kay, resigned his position, stating that he believed WMD stockpiles would not be found in Iraq. "I don't think they existed," commented Kay. "What everyone was talking about is stockpiles produced after the end of the last Gulf War and I don't think there was a large-scale production program in the nineties." Kay criticized the intelligence that led to the war in testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), saying "we were all wrong and that is most disturbing." Kay's successor, nam ...

Iraq disarmament crisis: Encyclopedia II - Weapons of mass destruction - Historic use of the term WMD

The first record of the term Weapon of Mass Destruction is from a December 28, 1937 Times article on the bombing of Guernica, Spain, by the German Luftwaffe during the Spanish Civil War: "Who can think without horror of what another widespread war would mean, waged as it would be with all the new weapons of mass destruction?" This was in reference to blanket bombing of Guernica, during which 70% of the town was destroyed. Nuclear weapons did not exist at this time, but biological weapons were being ...

Iraq disarmament crisis: Encyclopedia II - Belgium - History

Over the past two millennia, the area that is now known as Belgium has seen significant demographic, political and cultural upheavals. The first well-documented population move was the conquest of the region by the Roman Republic in the 1st century BC, followed in the 5th century by the Germanic Franks. The Franks established the Merovingian kingdom, which became the Carolingian Empire in the 8th century. During the Middle Ages, the Low Countries were split into many small feudal states. Most of them were united in the course of the 14th and ...

Iraq disarmament crisis: Encyclopedia II - Post-invasion Iraq 2003–2005 - Iraqi insurgency

Despite the defeat of the old Iraqi army, irregular forces, both Iraqi and external, have conducted attacks against the Coalition and, more recently, the new sovereign Iraqi government. In the early months following the "end of major combat operations", insurgents conducted sniper attacks, suicide bombings at road checkpoints, and ambushes, resulting in about 30 multinational force personel deaths per month. Sometimes the attackers would say that they were motivated by revenge (e.g., an anti-coalition group claimed the four Iraqis tha ...
