  1. American and Iraq War By Jack Hisgrove

  2. Info of American and Iraq battles The Iraq’s and Americans have been fighting for 7 years starting in March 2003- January. The Americans have been obsessed with bringing justice to Iraq after the bombing of 9-11.

  3. 2003 On March 19th at 9:34p.m- two days after the Americans demanded that Saddam Hussesinand his two sons surrendered at leave Iraq within 48 hours- the U.S- led coalition begin to bomb Baghdad.

  4. 2004 On Ashura, the holiest day of the year for Shi'ite Muslims, nearly 180 worshippers are massacred in a series of coordinated car and suicide bomb attacks at shrines in Baghdad and Karbala.

  5. 2005 On February 28th, a suicide bomber drives a sedan loaded with explosives into a crowd of army and police recruits waiting for medical examinations at a clinic in Hilla, 60 miles south of Baghdad. It is the single deadliest attack since the start of the war—at least 122 are killed and 170 wounded. The bombing signals an escalating trend in Iraq: deadly violence directed at anyone cooperating with the U.S.-backed government.

  6. 2006 On November 19, 2005, 24 civilians in the Western town of Haditha—including 11 women and children—were intentionally shot dead by members of the Marine unit Kilo Company as retaliation for the roadside-bombing death of one of their soldiers.

  7. 2007 On April 11th, Defense Secretary Robert Gates announces a 3-month extension of duty for all soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. That same day, the Washington post reports that at least three retired four-star generals have rejected offers to become the nation's war czar.

  8. 2008 On Feb. 7, American and Iraqi forces release video footage of children as young as 11 being armed and trained by al-Qaeda. A week earlier, two female suicide bombers kill nearly 100 people in Baghdad's popular pet market.

  9. 2009 After months of relative calm in the Iraqi capital, insurgents strike with two back-to-back sophisticated suicide bombings in three days in early March, killing a total of more than 60 people. In both attacks, suicide bombers detonate an explosives belt into a crowd of people — the first outside a Baghdad police academy and the second in a marketplace in western Baghdad

  10. 2010 While U.S. commanders in Iraq began the new year by celebrating their first month without a combat death since the start of the war, the milestone was mostly overshadowed by Federal Judge Urbina's decision to dismiss the charges against the Blackwater guards who opened fire on unarmed Iraqi civilians in 2007, leaving 17 Iraqis dead and about 20 wounded.
