Military Intervention in the Middle East

Question 21 • 11011de2 CONNECTED Fall 2026 NM-US History and Geography S2

Why did the United States invade Iraq in 2003? Check all the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
Bush believed Saddam and Iraq had WMDs.
B
Bush argued that Iraq had previously supported terrorist organizations.
C
The United States claimed that Iraq was not fully cooperating with UN weapons inspectors.
D
The United States claimed Iraq had directly ordered the 9/11 attacks.

Explanation

The Bush administration justified the 2003 invasion by claiming Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, had links to terrorist organizations, and was not fully complying with UN weapons inspections. The United States did not claim that Iraq had directly ordered the September 11 attacks, so D does not apply.
