Why did fighting continue in iraq after president bush declared the major combat was over

History
1 answer:
docker41 [41]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

President Bush announced the end of major combat operations, not that the war was over.

Explanation:

Neither President officially said the war was over. And the administration in a bit of cockiness did make a variety of statements about how the war was over (the "mission accomplished" banner, a speech by Rumsfeld, etc.).  The Bush administration did not anticipate or plan for any kind of real insurgency and at the time of the invasion, there was no al-Qaeda presence in Iraq so the continued fighting came as a major surprise.

President Obama announced the end of US combat involvement in Iraq.  Technically that was true--the SOFA (US status of forces agreement) had expired and the only elements we were allowed to have in Iraq at that point were trainers, security (for US personnel and our embassy) and support (for instance, the Iraqi air force was almost non-existent).  But no authorized combat units.

How are the Senate leaders chosen?
timofeeve [1]

Option 2: <u>They are elected within each party.</u>

At the beginning of each Congress, the parties' members in the Senate choose their own leaders which shall protect their rights and interests on the Senate floor. Since the 1920s, the Republicans and Democrats are the first floor leaders of the U.S.

Depending on which party is in power, one serves as majority leader and the other as minority leader. The majority leader, whose power in the Senate is equal to the power of the Speaker of the House, is responsible to schedule the daily legislative program and, along with the minority leader, it creates the unanimous consent agreements that govern the time for debate.

How did trade and economics contribute to americas entry into World War 1
Leto [7]

Until April 6th, 1917, America was still a declared neutral state and she had tried to keep out of World War 1. However, she had economic relationships with nations involved in the war such as loans and financial support. American Secretary of State William Jennings opposed this financial support of warring nations, arguing that refusing to loan to any Allied nations in Europe would help to accelerate the end of the war. Even though President Wilson agreed at first, he retreated this when France argued that if it was not legal to take out credits from America, then it was not legal to buy American goods as well.  

Regarding this, the American steel industry had faced declining profits during the Recession of 1913–1914. And when the war began in Europe, the increased demand for tools of war began a period of intensified productivity that relieved many U.S. industrial companies.
