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.

Who were the 2 Scottish men who may have visited America (perhaps part of the Knights Templar) in the 1300’s?
joja [24]

Answer: Henry I Sinclair, Earl of Orkney and  Sir James Gunn

Explanation;

Henry Sinclair was a Scottish nobleman who according to some stories, was the first European to reach North America doing so in the 1300s which would mean he did so a century before Christopher Columbus.

The main proof of this arises from letters between the Zeno brothers in which it is alleged that after Henry saved them from islanders in Shetland and so they pledged to sail with him.

In one of their voyages they reached Newfoundland in Canada before continuing inwards to reach Massachusetts around where Sir James Gunn who was accompanying him on the trip died. They allegedly commemorated this by drawing an outline of an armoured knight with a shield bearing the crest on the Gunn House on a rock which today is found in Westford, Massachusetts.

It is also alleged that both men were members of the then defunct Knights Templars.
