Just after explosions began to rock Baghdad, Iraq’s capital, U.S. President <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/us-presidents/george-w-bush" target="_blank">George W. Bush</a> announced in a televised address, “At this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger.” President Bush and his advisors built much of their case for war on the idea that Iraq, under dictator Saddam Hussein, possessed or was in the process of building weapons of mass destruction.</blockquote>
