History

In 2003, USA under George W. Bush sent an invasion to topple and liberate Iraq from Saddam Hussein's regime. This succeeds, and the Coalition Provisional Authority began disbanding the Ba'ath army and expelling Ba'athists from the new government. The insurgents fought against the coalition forces and the newly installed government. Saddam was captured and executed. The Shia-Sunni civil war took place from 2006 to 2008. The coalition forces were criticized for war crimes, such as massacres, torture and rape. But, the insurgents have also committed such atrocities, including kidnap, torture, and murder of even more inhumane levels. The Mainstream Media covers up the torture methods of the insurgents while trumpeting outrage at the far milder US techniques.
