Answer:

The correct answers are B and D. Regarding the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, some American officials believed Saddam Hussein was acquiring weapons of mass destruction. Other officials strongly disagreed. Also, President Bush refused to allow UN inspectors more time to check Iraqi facilities for weapons of mass destruction.

Explanation:

The War in Iraq was a conflict that began on Thursday, March 20, 2003 and ended on Sunday, December 18, 2011.

The main justification for this operation offered by the President of the United States, George W. Bush, and his allies in the coalition, was the affirmation that Iraq possessed and was developing weapons of mass destruction. US officials argued, in an interested and tendentious way, that Iraq represented an imminent, urgent and immediate threat to the United States, its people and its allies, as well as to its interests. Information services were widely criticized, and the inspectors appointed for that purpose found no evidence that the alleged weapons of mass destruction existed. After the invasion, the Iraq Research Group concluded that Iraq had completed its programs to develop such weapons in 1991 and there were none at the time of the invasion, but that they intended to resume production if the sanctions were lifted. Some US officials claimed that Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda had been cooperating, but there is no evidence of a collaborative relationship, and other reasons for the invasion by officials included concerns over Iraq's financial support for families of Palestinian terrorists, violations of human rights by the Iraqi government, the spread of democracy, or Iraq's oil reserves, although the latter has been denied by some officials.

gayaneshka [121]

1. Many make the argument that Richard Nixon was the last "liberal" Republican president, considering opening up of trade and signing into law massive environmental policies.

2. Many consider FDR to be the moment that the Democratic party switched from a more agrarian conservative party to the modern "liberal" party that it is today. As I mentioned with your other question, this occurred after Progressives that had split after Teddy Roosevelt last found their new home in the Democratic party. A similar drift would occur as Richard Nixon used the Southern Strategy to peel southern Democrats away and towards the new Republican party

3. Many consider Ronald Reagan to be the first true modern conservative President. Reagan embraced many of the tenets of the failed Goldwater presidential run and is still hailed as the gold standard for Conservative presidents.

4. Many consider Lyndon Johnson to be our most reliably liberal presidents. Johnson took the New Deal programs and expanded them with his "War on Poverty" but his legacy was ultimately complicated by the war in Vietnam.

How did nelson mandela address the change that he looked forward to when he was president?

Novosadov [1.4K]

Nelson Mandela certainly did not wait to see what others would do. He was an ordinary person in many ways, but he did extraordinary things, and the many names he was given reflected aspects of his being and his destiny. His birth name, Roliblahla, given by his father, is an isiXhosa name that means “pulling the branch of a tree”, but colloquially means “troublemaker”, and he grew to become a committed troublemaker in the name of equality and justice. On his first day of school, he was given the Christian name Nelson by his teacher, a common practice influenced by British colonials who couldn’t easily pronounce African names. In later life South Africans of all ages called him “Tata,” a term of endearment meaning “father.” He also is referred to as “Khulu,” the abbreviated form of “grandfather,” also meaning “Great One.” After his death he was affectionately referred to as Madiba, his clan name, that reflected respect for his ancestry.

olga nikolaevna [1]

The correct answer is <span>raised the price level, but decreased the value of gold in Cairo

The value of things depend mostly on how rare or difficult to obtain they are. For example, the more gold there is the less value it has since everyone can get it. Similar thing happens with food, caviar is expensive because it's difficult to produce, but if it became easy then it's price would drastically drop</span>
