Talk:Iraq War

Created archive 1 so focus can be on new work

While this is obviously a work in progress, I have created several subarticles and intend to do more, moving out some of the details. For that matter, I still have a WMD article in my sandbox.

One of the questions, which applies to Afghanistan as well, is if and when the main "War" article should end and an article on continuing security assistance continue. After all, we aren't still writing about WWII occupation of Germany and Japan, although there are still large numbers of US troops there. Perhaps one metric might be the establishment of an elected government and the execution of a Status of Forces Agreement. Howard C. Berkowitz 14:42, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

all these need to be merged this main article, and the whole thing needs cleaning up

I agree there should be only a single article incorporating all themes, but I recommend that the current version is scrapped and rewritten from scratch. John (talk) 07:59, 14 March 2024 (CDT)

Agreed. I added this to my list of oil spills. Pat Palmer (talk) 08:28, 14 March 2024 (CDT)
