Why USA invade Iraq? there is evidence for the mass destruction weapon there?

Question

USA and the coalition invaded Iraq in 2003 to stop the mass destruction of weapons reason. do you think any evidence for that reason? if not, what is the other goal of the invasion?

Answer 1

No mass destruction weapons were found. Second reason to start the war were the probable (!) links of Saddam Hussein's government and terrorist organisations, such as al-Qaeda. And the war on Iraq was called as a part of the War on Terrorism.

Comments

FYI: al-Qaeda is one of the USA allies to beat the Soviet Union Invasion of Afghanistan in 1980's.

I wonder how they turn back against USA and the coalition after that

Answer 2

The United States and its coalition partners invaded Iraq in 2003, primarily citing the threat of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). However, no WMDs were ever found in Iraq, and some experts believe the invasion was motivated by other factors, such as the desire to gain control of Iraq's oil reserves and to establish a US military presence in the region.
