Iraq War's 10th Anniversary: The Invasion
A decade ago, the U.S. and its allies invaded Iraq on the premise that the country was hiding weapons of mass destruction. Despite worldwide protest and a lack of UN authorization, 200,000 thousand troops deployed into Iraq in March of 2003, following massive airstrikes. The coalition faced minimal opposition, and Baghdad quickly fell. For years after President George W. Bush's "mission accomplished" speech, the war raged on, fueled by sectarian conflicts, al Qaeda insurgencies, outside agencies, and mismanagement of the occupation. Ten years later, we look back in a three-part series. Today's entry focuses on the March 20, 2003, invasion of Iraq, and the weeks immediately following. This entry is part 1 of 3, be sure to see part 2, and part 3. [50 photos]

Iraq War's 10th Anniversary: Occupation and Insurgency
A few weeks after the invasion of Iraq, coalition forces began a long occupation, marked by almost immediate chaos. Groups held down by Saddam's regime rose up, and groups who opposed them struck back. Militias based in Iraq began a long insurgency against the occupation, and terrorist organizations joined the fight, escalating levels of brutality with each attack. Dozens of battles were fought across the country, with mounting tolls on the insurgents, the allied troops, and the civilian population caught in the middle. From 2003 to 2010, progress toward a new government and reconstruction was made in fits and starts, punctuated by frequent bombings, assassinations, and uprisings. Ten years later, we look back in a three-part series. Today's entry focuses on the period during which the majority of the war took place, after the 2003 invasion and just prior to the 2011 withdrawal. This entry is part 2 of 3, be sure to see part 1 and part 3. [50 photos]

Iraq War - Wikipedia entry



In the eight years between invasion and withdrawal, more than 110,000 people suffered violent deaths as direct result of the Iraq conflict. Some estimates put that number at over a million. Hundreds of thousands of civilians and former combatants also suffered injury during the war, both physical and psychological. When the coalition finally withdrew in 2011, no significant weapons of mass destruction had been located, but Saddam Hussein's regime had been replaced by elected representatives. A mostly Sunni-led insurgency flared up, challenging the new government and security forces. Trillions of dollars were spent and millions of lives were affected, but the Iraqis are still struggling to find their post-war footing as near-constant violence hampers any efforts to move beyond poverty and pain. Ten years later, we look back in a three-part series. Today's entry focuses on the period from 2011 to present-day. This post is part 3 of 3, be sure to see part 1, and part 2. [42 photos]

A suicide bomber in Iraq injured Marine veteran Keith Buckmon, native of Capitol Heights, Maryland, in 2008, resulting in the complete reconstruction of both of his legs and his right arm using bone grafts and metal plates.

Now, Buckmon is an athlete in the 2013 Marine Corps Trials who competes in seated volleyball, wheelchair basketball, seated shot put, discus, and shooting. Buckmon says his wife and two daughters, Damaris Buckmon, Iz'Abella Amaris Buckmon (lower right) and Jy'Zella-leilani Grace Clark, are his motivation to keep pushing to get better because he strives to be a good husband and father. Buckmon has a tattoo on his shoulder that depicts a Purple Heart medal and the date he was injured.(USMC/Cpl. Tyler L. Main) #

War and international sanctions have left most of Iraq's infrastructure and industry in shambles, including the movie industry. But the return of government funding means a new start for many local directors, even if the amounts are small by international standards. (Reuters/Mohammed Ameen) #

The once quiet courtyards of Baghdad's Institute of Musical Studies, located in the busy Sinak area, where violence was rife during the height of Iraq's sectarian violence in 2006 and 2007, are thriving again as the Iraqi capital enjoys a noticeable ebb in violence. Many of Iraq's most talented musicians fled during the rule of Saddam Hussein, fearing persecution for their political views and suffering from a lack of funding and exposure if they refused to glorify the leader in their art. Now, gingerly, some musicians are making plans to come back, hoping to revive Iraq's rich musical tradition on home soil. (Reuters/Mohammed Ameen) #

RASULLAH SAW bersabda yang bermaksud: Hari Kiamat tidak akan terjadi sebelum Sungai Eufrat mengering dan menyingkapkan gunung emas yang mendorong manusia berperang. Sebanyak 99 daripada 100 orang akan terbunuh (dalam pertempuran) dan setiap daripada mereka berkata, Mungkin aku satu-satunya yang akan tetap hidup. (riwayat Bukhari).

Dalam riwayat lainnya, Rasulullah bersabda bermaksud: Sudah dekat suatu masa di mana Sungai Eufrat akan menjadi surut airnya lalu ternampak perbendaharaan daripada emas, maka barang siapa yang hadir di situ janganlah ia mengambil sesuatu pun daripada harta itu. (riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim).

Imam Bukhari juga meriwayatkan hadis lainnya, bahawa Rasulullah SAW bersabda bermaksud: Segera Sungai Eufrat memperlihatkan kekayaan (gunung emas), maka siapa pun yang berada pada waktu itu tidak akan dapat mengambil apa pun daripadanya.
