Even if there were no such inspiring slogans, the Iraqi would be defeated by coalition forces due to their superior arms and logistics. The battle had finished after two months. President Bush declared the termination of battle on the nuclear aircraft carrier "Abraham Lincoln” in the Persian (Arabian) Gulf.

 

Unfortunately, the investigation carried out after the war could find no mass destruction weapons. Coalition forces could find no reason to justify the Iraq war.
