Operation Iraqi Freedom
(redirected from Iraq War)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Operation Iraqi Freedom
The official United States military name for the war between the U.S. and its allies and Saddam Hussein's Iraq and later various insurgent groups. Operation Iraqi Freedom removed Saddam Hussein, Iraq's brutal dictator, from power. However, it created a significant power vacuum, which led to high levels of violence. Economically, it disrupted Iraq's oil production during a period of time in which oil prices quadrupled. Operation Iraqi Freedom lasted from 2003 to 2010; it was controversial both in the United States and abroad.

Byline: Emlyn Richards IN taking his part time job with JP Morgan's US bank, which seems to be profiting from the Iraq war, begs the question: has Tony Blair any conscience or sensitivity left?
In the circumstances, I am therefore disappointed that Mr Cousins did not feel able to vote with Opposition MPs and 12 of his Labour colleagues to support an official inquiry into the Iraq war along the lines of the Franks Inquiry into the Falklands War in yesterday's Commons debate.
