Naming?

edit

You are a very strange person, and the only reason I was the first to edit was because I'm part of Wikipedia:recent changes patrol and I was checking the new pages. If you ever need help with anything, (except naming yourself), don't hesitate to ask. One suggestion- if you use firefox, download the "wikipedia" extension. It helps with editing.

I'd say go with Yemeth. It's a good name, especially if you like Planescape. If you don't fancy that, try Daniel. Shtanto (talk) 23:12, 26 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

naming u

It is a cute idea! But it is hard to find an appropriate name when u don't reveal anything about yourself. How about Fluffy? I always liked the name Fluffy. ntennis 05:04, 1 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Howz abouts... "Yawwwwn". Lol. or "Observer". "WikiFossey"? Here's a winner: McName. Welcome to Wikipedia. --DanielCD 13:47, 1 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi there - nice idea! I like "McName" (above). You could kinda rearrange your present moniker into "Not applicable (or available) Meme". Or are you brave enough to be "Wikipedifile"? (Spell it how you wish.) By the way, there is lots of research on Wikipedia - see Research (on Meta), or other links from my user page... Cormaggio @ 16:58, 2 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
Try Albert I. A. Smith, which could shorten to AlIAS, which is what it would be. Jfingers88 20:25, 2 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Start Iraq invasion 2003

Iraq invasion 2003 is one of the name used to describe the US military operations that took place in Iraq in 2003, and led t the military occupation of Iraq by the US according to UN resolution no 1483 of 2003, describing the Iraqi situation. From the other name given to this conflict “Iraqi War”, “The third Gulf War” and “operation Free Iraq”. The operation started on March 20, by a coalition led by the USA and named the “coalition of the willing”. This coalition was very different from the coalition that fought the second gulf war due to the difficulty in setting it up. The proportion of English and US troops in this coalition was 98%

INDEX . . .

Justification of the war according to the US administration.

The US administration presented before, during and after the fall of Baghdad on April 9 2003 a series of justification for the legality of the war that we can summarize by the following:

- The persistence of, ex president Saddam Hussein government, refusal to abide by UN resolution allowing the arms research committees to perform their duties in Iraq. - The persistence of , ex president Saddam Hussein government, in the manufacturing and possession of “Weapons of mass destruction”, and the lack of cooperation of the Iraqi leadership in applying UN resolution no 19, that requested the publication of complete lists of “Weapons of mass destruction”. It is to be noticed that to this date no weapon of mass destruction was found in Iraq. - The relations of, ex president Saddam Hussein government, with the Al Quaida organization, and other terrorist organization that threaten stability in the world. Lately some evidence has been found for relations with some terrorist organizations. - The spread of democratic ideas in the Middle East region. - Repression by Saddam Hussein of his people.

Prior to the election of Georges W Bush to the presidency of the USA, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz published a document under the title “Rebuilding America’s Defenses Strategies” in September 2000, one year before September 2001 events. This document explained that even though their was a conflict with Saddam Hussein regime that required the American presence in the Persian Gulf, the importance of the presence and justification of American presence in the region went beyond the presence of Saddam Hussein in power. The complete document can be read at (LINK).


Justification of the war according to those opposing it.

The justification presented by the US administration met with wide criticism starting from the US population, to the world opinion and finally in the ranks of Saddam Hussein opposition. We can summarize those as follows:  

- Domination of the world oil market, and helping the US Dollar since Saddam Hussein had decided in 2000 the use of Euro as sole currency for buying Iraqi oil. - To make sure that no oil crisis will take place in the US by controlling indirectly the world largest reserve of oil. - The personal benefits of big oil and construction companies in the US. - Supporting the popularity that the Republican Party gained after September 2001 events, with the objective of keeping the stronghold of the party on political decision making in the USA. - Applying the recommendation of the Cheney,Rumsfeld,Wolfowitz document written in 2000 that prepares for a more efficient strategic role for the USA in the Middle East. - Personal revenge from Georges W Bush against Saddam Hussein for his evolvement in the attempted assassination of his father in Kuwait in 1993. - Completing the mission that G.W.Bush father did not complete during the second Gulf War.

The Weapons of Mass Destruction.

The presence of Weapons of Mass Destruction was one of the most important justification that the US administration tried to spread in the UN through their secretary of state Colin Powel. Before the war the chief of the UN weapon inspection team Hans Bliks declared that his team did not find any nuclear of biological weapon, but found rockets that exceeded the range decided by UN resolution 687 of 1991 (150 Km). Iraq used to call these rockets Al Soumoud (resistance). Saddam Hussein agreed in his quest to avoid war to the destruction of those rockets by Hans Bliks team. After the fall of Baghdad the US president sent a team to search for weapon of mass destruction headed by David Kay, and resulted in a report that was handed to the US president n October 3 2003. The report concluded that the team did not find to this date any traces of weapon of mass destruction. David Kay added in a testimony to a US senate comitee “In my opinion we made the situation in Iraq more dangerous than before the war” LINK . In January 2004, in a very rare precedent where a former president criticizes the actual president, Bill Clinton declared in an interview to Time Magazine that it would have been better to wait for the end of Hans Bliks mission in Iraq before starting the military operations. But George Bush declared on August 2 2004 that even if he knew at that time what he knows today on the absence of forbidden weapons in Iraq he would have still entered Iraq.

On January 12 2005 the team that was set up by G.W.Bush to search for forbidden weapons was dismantled.

The relation between Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden

 Saddam Hussein was accused by some members of the US administration of having relations with the September 11 events. The accusations where based on the alleged fact that 6 of the persons that executed the September 11 events including Mohammad Atta met many times with individuals from the Iraqi intelligence in an European country and that there is a training camp for Al Qaida in Salman Beik south of Baghdad. It is believed that the CIA based it’s allegation on information from Iraqi people that fled to the west and where members of the “Iraqi national congress” opposition party headed by Ahmad Chalabi.  On August 29 2004 a report from a senate committee that was set up to investigate this issue, stated than after big efforts of investigation by the committee they could not find compelling evidences of the relation between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaida. On September 2005 Collin Powel denied any relation between the two parties. 

Later names of the persons that the CIA used to back their allegations on the relations appeared to be : -Ahmad Chalabi known by his under cover name of Curveball -Ibn el Cheikh al Lybi one of the Qaida leaders that where emprisoned. -Mohammad Manssour Chehab a weapon dealer that worked for the Iraqi government. - Abas Al Janabi an Iraqi political refugee living in the United Kingdom that used to be a personal assistant to Oudai Saddam Hussein.
