Tony Blair, the coalition mission was "to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, to end Saddam Hussein's support for terrorism, and to free the Iraqi people."[2.
General Wesley Clark, the former Supreme NATO Allied Commander and Joint Chiefs of Staff Director of Strategy and Policy, describes in his 2. Winning Modern Wars, his conversation with a military officer in the Pentagon shortly after the 1. September attacks regarding a plan to attack seven Middle Eastern countries in five years: "As I went back through the Pentagon in November 2. Yes, we were still on track for going against Iraq, he said. But there was more. This was being discussed as part of a five- year campaign plan, he said, and there were a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia and Sudan."[2.
Others place a much greater emphasis on the impact of the 1. September 2. 00. 1 attacks, and the role this played in changing U. S. strategic calculations, and the rise of the freedom agenda.[2. According to Blair, the trigger was Iraq's failure to take a "final opportunity" to disarm itself of alleged nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons that U.

The following day, coalition forces launched an incursion into Basra Province from their massing point close to the Iraqi- Kuwaiti border. While the special forces launched an amphibious assault from the Persian Gulf to secure Basra and the surrounding petroleum fields, the main invasion army moved into southern Iraq, occupying the region and engaging in the Battle of Nasiriyah on 2. March. Massive air strikes across the country and against Iraqi command and control threw the defending army into chaos and prevented an effective resistance. On 2. 6 March, the 1. Airborne Brigade was airdropped near the northern city of Kirkuk, where they joined forces with Kurdish rebels and fought several actions against the Iraqi army to secure the northern part of the country. The main body of coalition forces continued their drive into the heart of Iraq and met with little resistance.
Most of the Iraqi military was quickly defeated and Baghdad was occupied on 9 April. Other operations occurred against pockets of the Iraqi army, including the capture and occupation of Kirkuk on 1. April, and the attack and capture of Tikrit on 1. April. Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and the central leadership went into hiding as the coalition forces completed the occupation of the country.

Gulf War were suspended on 2. February 1. 99. 1, with a cease- fire negotiated between the UN Coalition and Iraq.[3. The U. S. and its allies tried to keep Saddam in check with military actions such as Operation Southern Watch, which was conducted by Joint Task Force Southwest Asia (JTF- SWA) with the mission of monitoring and controlling airspace south of the 3.

This policy involved numerous economic sanctions by the UN Security Council; the enforcement of Iraqi no- fly zones declared by the U.
S. and the UK to protect the Kurds in Iraqi Kurdistan and Shias in the south from aerial attacks by the Iraqi government; and ongoing inspections. Iraqi military helicopters and planes regularly contested the no- fly zones.[3.

S. foreign policy with enactment of the Iraq Liberation Act. Enacted following the expulsion of UN weapons inspectors the preceding August (after some had been accused of spying for the U.

Despite the Bush administration's stated interest in liberating Iraq, little formal movement towards an invasion occurred until the 1. September 2. 00. 1 attacks. For example, the administration prepared Operation Desert Badger to respond aggressively if any Air Force pilot was shot down while flying over Iraq, but this did not happen. Rumsfeld dismissed National Security Agency (NSA) intercept data available by midday of the 1. Qaeda's culpability, and by mid- afternoon ordered the Pentagon to prepare plans for attacking Iraq.[4.
