It’s been 20 years since American and coalition forces invaded Iraq on a mission to topple Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship and find weapons of mass destruction.
Within three weeks, Saddam’s regime had fallen, but no stockpiles of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons were ever found.
By the time US troops left in 2011, the insurgency that followed the invasion had claimed the lives of more than 100,000 Iraqi civilians, while US losses reached nearly 4,500.
Now a semblance of normalcy has returned, but Iraq still battles a range of challenges, from political instability to poverty and rampant corruption. Our next report takes a look at today’s Iraq.

Why no questions raised concerning the US's culpability in all of this??
Modern hotels? @1:12 Those are the same buildings from 20 years ago…
America’s biggest blunder
Upto now , the U.S. is still waging Wars around the World ! America organized the Coup in Ukraine in 2014 and
led to the current proxy War in Ukraine . And U.S. surveillance planes are flying in the South China Sea weekly
looking for a fight with China . There are too many Warmongers in U.S. and we have to stop them immediately !
"Democracy" & " Human Rights" are being used as a "Weapon of Mass Destruction" by the US politicians .
US sells war making it look justified in the beginning, look at the Ukraine War right now, wait 10-15 years and its "we stepped on the same rakes again" blaming the previous president and on to the next.
What is astonishing is that the criminals who lied their way to have this war are still walking and living their lives as if nothing ever happened and planning their next adventure.
Iraqi men's fashion: gel one's hair to stand as tall as possible.
And and there friends shot face ICC too.
send bush to court
Where is the Kangaroo international court on this? Where is the arrest warrant for Blair and Bush? The West and Nato are 🤡
Rest in peace to all the innocent lives lost in war.
SHAME ON YOU AMERICA
When Bush said they are going,, to free Iraq from dictator Hussein " I want to ask him , what was his business in sovereign country ??? Why Americans always want to tell everybody how live???Now things have changed drastically. Now Americans next to nothing and nobody is going mind them.😂
Don't give females rights trust me
Thank you Germany for NOT supporting Iraq War against the US, and thank you Germany for supporting Ukraine against Russia.
"Poverty bruh….
battling poverty…since when, when oil flows like water there. The real question is, who and where are the officials pocketing the billions for themselves…and allowing poverty to rise? Iraq, I'm watching you!"🕴🏾

why did you invade iraq??? why did you do it
you have killed 3 million iraqi 3 million

Modren hotels ha? 🤣
These were the same from before 2003!
these bloody usa speak about democracy -iraq invation was a violation of un chapter – over run un for blood of iraqies
RIP Iraq (1932–2003)
All the so called "nations of willing" should be brought to trial for war crimes.
Dictator the word used by the west if they cant control the head of the state of a soveriegn country
George Bush and Tony Blair are the biggest war criminals
